Description:
Expand your Settlers of Catan experience with the “Cities & Knights” expansion! This exciting add-on introduces several new elements that deepen the tactical gameplay and extend the interaction between players.
Key Features:
- New Commodities and City Improvements: Enhance your cities and gain advantages with three new commodities: paper, cloth, and coins, derived from forests, meadows, and mountains. Use these commodities to build improvements that provide various benefits and contribute to victory points. Start the game strategically with one city and one settlement to jumpstart your development.
- Revamped Development Cards: Experience a new system of development cards, organized into three decks linked to the specific commodities. These cards cannot be purchased; instead, they are earned by building city improvements, offering a broader range of effects and strategic choices. This system replaces the old development cards, providing a fresh gameplay dynamic and rebalancing some of the powerful effects like the Resource Monopoly card.
- Knightly Duties and Barbarian Threats: Forge a path to victory by building knights that defend the land from invading barbarians. Position your knights wisely to protect the island, claim intersections, and even influence the robber’s position. Successful defense against barbarians brings rewards, while failure could see your cities downgraded to settlements, making the stakes higher than ever.
Belonging to the Catan Series, this expansion not only enhances your game but also significantly extends the playtime and complexity, making every game a new adventure. Perfect for players seeking a deeper and more engaging experience from their Catan gameplay.
Expand your horizons, defend your cities, and rise to new heights in Catan: Cities & Knights!
