Who Can Host a
CATAN Event?
You don’t need to be a tournament expert, own a game café, or run a fancy venue to host a SaskCatan event. What matters most? That you care about connection, consistency, and community.
We’re looking for:
- Game cafés, restaurants, or pubs with table space
- Community halls or libraries with public event capacity
- Passionate individuals in smaller towns who want to bring people together
Casual Nights or Competitive Play — You Decide
Casual & Social
