The deal covers scripted and unscripted projects across film, television series and other formats, and will see the first on-screen adaptation of the game.
Having secured similar rights on Asmodee hit, Catan, Netflix is doubling down on board game adaptations, securing exclusive global rights to adapt the board game Ticket to Ride.
Catan – On the Road delivers the core Catan experience in a compact card format that’s easy to learn, quick to play, and perfect for travel. Games take just 15 minutes, making it ideal for playing on a train, at a café, or during a quick break.
“On the Road gives players, a great CATAN experience in a fast, fresh format,” said Benjamin and Guido Teuber, Co-CEOs of Catan “Playing exclusively using cards makes On the Road easy to bring along wherever you go, and we hope it becomes a welcoming gateway into the wider CATAN world for new players.”
The game was designed by Benjamin Teuber, Co-CEO of Catan, who added “We were looking for a fun way to experience the game that still includes all the essential elements of harvesting, trading, and building. I especially enjoy the new approach to trading; it turns a classic Catan mechanic into a whole new experience.”
First published in 1995, Catan has become a global cultural phenomenon, selling more than 45 million units worldwide across over 100 markets. The game continues to evolve, with the sixth edition launching in 2025 featuring refreshed artwork and updated rules. Today, the international CATAN team remains committed to building on the legacy of the game.
“Catan has inspired generations of players around the world,” said Roger Martin, Marketing Director at Asmodee. “With Catan – On the Road, we’re bringing that magic wherever players go. It’s still the strategy, tension, and social fun fans love, now in a format perfectly suited to today’s lifestyle.”
