Colonist

Digital board game platform

Colonist is building the largest digital board game platform on the internet, centred on its Settlers of Catan alternative. The scale is the notable part: last year players spent the equivalent of 3,037 years playing 60 million games on it, which for a board game adaptation implies retention that most games never reach. The company focuses on crafting extremely polished digital board games that people genuinely love, and operates as a fully remote asynchronous team spread across multiple continents, valuing outcomes over hours worked.
