Catan is making its courtside debut. The world’s most successful modern board game has partnered with the Minnesota Timberwolves in a first-of-its-kind collaboration that brings tabletop strategy to the NBA arena.

As part of the collaboration, fans attending select Timberwolves home games this season will have the chance to experience Catan through interactive activations on the concourse. These events invite fans to test their strategic skills, challenge friends, and take home exclusive Catan-themed prizes and giveaways.

The partnership goes beyond game nights. Catan and the Timberwolves will also collaborate on community engagement initiatives that reflect their shared commitment to teamwork and connection, reinforcing both brands’ dedication to bringing people together through play. To celebrate the announcement, the Timberwolves will host a Catan x Timberwolves social sweepstakes Nov. 3-10. Prizes include tickets to the Nov. 14 game, a limited-edition Timberwolves jersey, and a Catan 6th Edition board game.

By bridging the worlds of gaming and sports, Catan continues to expand its influence as a modern pop culture icon. Learn more at catan.com.
