The Cities & Knights of Catan Board Game.
Dark clouds are gathering over the peaceful island of Catan. Wild
barbarians, attracted by the wealth of Catan, sailed to attack the
country. Fortunately, warning has given Catan time to meet the danger.
The size of the barbarian army corresponds to the number of cities
in Catan. Thus, for Catan to fend off the barbarian attack, the players
must form a knight force as strong as the barbarian force.
In addition to fending off the barbarians, players compete to build
the three great metropolises of Catan. Each of these magnificent
centers are worth two additional victory points. To build a metropolis,
players must invest in city improvements. To acquire these improvements,
players must acquire the three new types of Trade Cards: Coinage,
Paper, and Cloth. These cards can only be gained by building a city
next to mountain, forest, or pasture hexes.
