Coveted trade goods in flourishing shops make Catan shine in new splendour. Cities are further expanded, city walls and metropolises are built. But Catan is in danger, because the progress and prosperity on the island attracts hordes of barbarians who attack Catan. Only with a powerful army of knights can the barbarians be put to flight and cities be saved from destruction. New game elements create further strategic possibilities that provide variety and contribute to victory. The Cities & Knights expansion offers a challenging and particularly intense adventure on Catan for three to four players aged twelve and up. Please note: CATAN – The Game is required for the expansion. It can be combined with the Seafarers expansion. This edition of the Cities & Knights expansion can be combined with older editions
