#Catan cities and knights upgrade#

Our C&K upgrade is designed to replace many of the stock pieces in the CATAN: Cities & Knights Expansion. If not, the player(s) with the fewest knights each have a city downgraded to a settlement.Our custom game tiles and replacement pieces for 'Settlers of Catan' and its Add-Ons are not only appealing but also functional!! You will be hosting every game in style - going back to the original pieces will never feel the same :) If the island is successfully defended, the player(s) with the most knights are rewarded. These knights can be used to claim certain intersections and move the Robber (taking the place of Soldier cards), but are also used to defend the island from periodic barbarian attacks. (Some cards are balanced better as well - the new Resource Monopoly card, for example, can take no more than 2 of the named resource from any one player.)įinally, players can also build knights on the island along their network of roads. These cards are similar to the development cards in the base game, but with a wider range of effects. Building more improvements will increase these chances, but cards cannot be bought directly in any way.

Building city improvements gives players a chance to draw these cards with every roll of the dice.

Second, the deck of development cards is replaced by three different decks, each corresponding to one of the commodities. (To make commodities easier to obtain, each player starts the game with 1 city and 1 settlement on the board.) These commodities allow players to build city improvements that confer various advantages and eventually points. Cities that would normally produce two of one of those resources instead produce 1 resource and 1 of the corresponding commodity. The game changes the base game in three main ways:įirst, there are 3 new commodities in the game, distinct from resources - paper, cloth, and coins, which can be acquired from Forest, Meadow, and Mountain spaces, respectively. Adds tactical complexity to the game and game length. Adds several new aspects to Settlers of Catan but the two major ones are creating knights to protect the land from invading barbarians and building city improvements that confer benefits upon that city's owner.
