Catan: Cities & Knights

Catan: Cities & Knights is an expansion for the popular board game Catan, adding depth and complexity. It introduces new mechanics such as city development, where players upgrade settlements to cities, and the production of commodities (cloth, coin, and paper) used to enhance cities and unlock new capabilities. Players also defend against invasions by barbarians and participate in city improvements like knights and innovations. The goal remains to earn victory points, but with these additional strategic options, gameplay becomes more complex and interactive, emphasizing resource management, trade, and tactical decision-making.
