Cities & Knights introduces a new level of complexity and interaction among players to the already engaging Catan gameplay. Two key elements of the game—Cities and the Knights that protect them—gain new dimensions and prominence, leading to more competitive.
Danger looms over Catan: the peaceful inhabitants of the island are about to face a significant threat. Savage barbarians, drawn by the wealth of Catan, are sailing toward the island to seize it by force and plunder its riches.
The barbarian hordes always match the number of cities on the island. To successfully defend against the barbarian attack, players must muster a force of knights that is at least equal to that of the barbarians.
If the knights' strength is sufficient to defeat the barbarians, the threat is averted. But if the players fail, the cities will be defenseless against the barbarian assault, resulting in their pillaging and downgrading to settlements.
IMPORTANT: This is an expansion. The base game is required to play.
