Witness the development of Catan! Things are going well on Catan. The villages and towns are flourishing like never before, growing into true metropolises. Trade goods are now also being produced, and new development cards offer a rich variety of possibilities! But the wealth of Catan also attracts barbarians. Wild hordes approach the island and occasionally land to plunder poorly defended cities. The players have little time to assemble a powerful army with which to avert the threat. However, whoever sends the most knights can become the hero of Catan! This expansion set is only playable with the new edition of Catan (item no. 2030157). Catan Cities and Knights board game expansion . A copy of the base game is required to use this set. It is also possible to combine Cities and Knights with The Seafarers of Catan. Cities and Knights now also features new artwork and playing pieces for an even more immersive experience! This expansion set is only compatible with the latest edition of the base game (the 2012 edition with plastic parts). This current edition includes plastic figures, sturdier land tiles, a new inlay, and handy boxes for storing the figures. In Cities and Knights, you start with a city instead of a village. The game includes commodities such as coins and paper, which you receive when a number is rolled for your city. You need these commodities to develop your cities to higher levels in three areas, with the ultimate goal of creating a metropolis, which is worth a whopping 4 points. As in the base game, you roll the die at the beginning of your turn, but now a symbol die is added. This die determines whether you earn a development card or whether the barbarian ship approaches. When the barbarian ship arrives on the island, players must defend themselves with knights. Knights cost 1 ore and 1 wool and must be activated with 1 grain. Anyone who doesn't arm themselves properly can easily lose a city to the barbarians. However, if you have the most activated knights, you'll be declared the savior of Catan and awarded a point. To win Cities & Knights, you need to accumulate 13 points.
