Expand your The Settlers of Catan® game in new directions.
Dark clouds gather over the once peaceful landscape. Wild barbarians, lured
by Catan's wealth and power, maneuver to attack. Their massive warships loom
against the bright orange horizon.
You must be strong! Barbarians attack the weakest targets and the victim of
their onslaught will be the player who contributes the least in the defence of
Catan. Don't take any chances! Field your knights!
In Catan: Cities and Knights, you engage in the defence of Catan and
compete to build the three great metropolises of Catan. Each of these
magnificent centres is even more valuable than cities and are safe from the
barbarians. You must invest in city improvements which you aquire using three
commodities of trade; coin, paper and cloth. If you improve your culture, muster
your knights and enrich your fine cities, you will be the master of the great
realm of Catan!
