The board game, originally called The Settlers of Catan when introduced in 1995 and based on a set of hexagonal tiles, has sold tens of millions of copies and is available in more than 40 languages.
It has spawned dozens of spinoffs and new editions, including electronic versions, not to mention products related to the game.
A statement from the Catan studio team on social media noted that “While Klaus’ contributions to the board gaming industry are immeasurable, we will remember him most as a kind and selfless human being, an inspirational leader, and most importantly, as a friend". In the multi-player game, competitors use five resources to build their colonies, or settlements: Wool, grain, lumber, brick and ore. Teuber never thought his game would become so successful; he finally left his dental technician job in 1998 “when I felt like Catan could feed me and my family”, he told the New Yorker. The game became a family business.
