Product Description
Take your CATAN game to the next level with CATAN 6th Edition Cities & Knights Expansion. Your settlements have grown into powerful cities, but wealth attracts danger and now Catan must prepare for barbarian attacks from beyond the shore.
This expansion adds new layers of strategy while keeping the heart of CATAN: collect resources, trade smartly, build carefully, and race for victory. Recruit and activate knights to defend the island, improve your cities through science, trade, and politics, and compete to build mighty metropolises.
