Cities and Knights of Catan
 |
Wild barbarians are threatening the peaceful Catan!Alter: 10-99 Spieler: 3-4 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 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
