What is Colonist?

Colonist.io is a brilliant and challenging web-based board game that positions itself as an alternative to the highly popular Settlers of Catan board game. You take on the role of a colonist and you must build a civilization and expand your territory. Building settlements increases your production and victory points, but it makes you a target for other players. Extremely simple rules with tremendously deep gameplay. Combine strategy, planning, and cunning negotiations to win. Base game is 4 players. The first player to reach 10 points wins. Can be played solo versus bots, with friends or with online players all over the world.

How We Work

We are a modern day gaming guild whose objective is to build games. We were part of online Clans, Guilds, Alliances in various MMOs & online games. We are doing nothing different. We are now a part of an online Guild called Colonist and each member of the guild has their own responsibilities.

• We are fully remote
• We are output-driven and work asynchronously
• We are a hybrid between a startup and a game company
• We like to keep meetings at a minimum and;
• We like to have fun and develop our game while playing it!

Someone should work here if they don’t want a real job and want to continue being a part of an online Guild levelling up and slaying enemies.
