Benjamin Teuber

Growing up with a game inventor as his father, Benjamin has played board games since he could hold cards and roll dice. After completing his studies in psychology and management, he initially worked for a number of other companies all around the world before moving into the creative and inspiring games industry in 2010. Today, he is one of the managing directors of CATAN GmbH and, together with his brother Guido, manages the company’s licenses, especially those of the CATAN series.

Benjamin has always enjoyed developing games. At the age of 5, he brought a prototype to the game table at home for the first time. Presumably this design wasn’t fully developed yet, and after persistently demanding feedback, his father mumbled something about an extra large portion of chocolate ice cream in the refrigerator. The career was put on hold for now. Many years later, Benjamin found great pleasure in actively participating in the development. During a train ride, his dad and he came up with the idea for their first game together, which they then developed jointly from scratch. In addition to such non-CATAN games, Benjamin has since taken care of the continuation of the CATAN series of games.
