Worth it
- Our take
- Cities & Knights is worth it once your group wants a deeper, longer game. It's the biggest change to how CATAN plays.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
CATAN · Expansion
Cities & Knights
- What it adds
- Knights, barbarian attacks, commodities, city improvements and progress cards. Game goes to 13 points.
- What it fixes
