Take a look back at the history of the game franchise you love. Since 1993, the Settlers has been bringing you gaming goodness. See the pieces of the franchise’s history and how they fit together and evolved into what we play today. Sometimes, it’s just as fun to look back as it is to look forward, so we hope you will enjoy this ongoing event!

Every other Thursday we will be hosting a Then & Now event showing how the Settlers franchise has evolved.

This week we are showing the evolution of the Settlers box art. We compare Settlers 1 box art to Settlers 7 box art.
