Netflix struck a deal with gaming publisher Asmodee to develop “Catan,” the hugely popular board game, into film and television projects, the companies announced Tuesday, as film studios increasingly bet on attracting audiences with game adaptations—especially video games.

Netflix has purchased the global rights to Catan and plans to produce both scripted and unscripted live-action shows, movies, and video games.

Netflix has officially secured the exclusive rights for the hugely popular board game franchise, Catan, with plans for multiple projects in the works.

Anyone who has played Catan knows that the intense strategy at the core of the game has endless opportunities for some serious drama,” said Jinny Howe, Netflix’s Head of Scripted Series for the U.S. and Canada.

The magic of the game is that everyone stays invested, and must collaborate. New spinoffs are themed on fossil fuels, global warming, indigenous rights.
