The Settlers Have Spoken: 2026 Catan National Qualifier Recap
What an incredible milestone for the North Bay gaming community!
This year marked the inaugural Catan National Qualifier at North Bay Games and Hobbies, and to say it was a success would be an understatement.
We were thrilled to welcome players who traveled from all across Ontario to compete, turning our shop into a vibrant hub of strategy, negotiation, and high-stakes sheep for ore trading.
A Day of Hexes and High Spirits
The atmosphere was electric from the first roll of the dice. It wasn't just about the competition; it was about the spirit of the game. Throughout the day, we saw:
Masterful Trading:
Clever negotiations that turned the tide of the game.
Epic Builds:
Impressive networks of roads and sprawling cities across the board.
Community Vibes:
Old friends and new faces sharing a love for the tabletop classic.
And the Winner Is...
While every player brought their A-game, there could only be one champion to claim the title of North Bay’s finest.
