Take your Settlers of Catan sessions to a richer, more tactical stage with Catan Cities & Knights. This acclaimed expansion expands the board game you love by adding dynamic city-building, powerful knights, and a tense barbarians mechanic, turning every roll of the dice into a strategic challenge. If you’re seeking deeper competition, longer campaigns, and more meaningful decisions, Cities & Knights delivers.

What makes Cities & Knights different

Unlike the base game, this expansion introduces three new layers of strategy that interact with your existing resources. You’ll collect commodities—coin, paper, and cloth—alongside your traditional resources. Those commodities are the fuel for upgrading your towns into thriving cities and unlocking potent city improvements. As your cities grow, so does your influence on the board, opening opportunities to earn extra victory points and special abilities that opponents must contend with.

Core mechanics you’ll master

  • Knights and barbarians: Defend your settlements against periodic barbarian invasions. You can mobilize knights to push back the threat, adding a dramatic, real-time strategic element to your turns and demanding teamwork and timing from your group.
  • City improvements: Invest commodities to upgrade cities and unlock powerful capabilities. City improvements change how you generate income, defend your holdings, and gain leverage over the track that determines victory potential.
  • Metropolises: Strategically upgrade to metropolis status to secure lasting advantages and extra scoring potential. Metropolises are hard-wought assets that can shift the balance late in the game.
  • Progress cards: Navigate a fresh deck of progress cards across Politics, Trade, and Science. Each card offers unique bonuses—seasoned players use them to outpace rivals, adjust to the board, and seize critical moments.
  • New balance of risk and reward: The barbarian track, city upgrades, and commodity economy create a more interconnected web of decisions. Your strategy must adapt to shifting threats, resource flows, and the evolving board state.

Who this expansion is for

Catan Cities & Knights is ideal for players who have enjoyed Settlers of Catan and are hungry for a richer strategic experience. It suits groups that like longer, more narrative sessions, players who enjoy city-building and resource management, and anyone who relishes turning a lull in the game into a pivotal turn with a well-timed knight deployment or a bold city upgrade. It’s also great for groups that want to extend playtime with a modular system—the expansion scales with player count and familiarity with the base game.

Gameplay flow and what to expect at the table

Playing Cities & Knights reshapes the pacing of a familiar game. Early rounds focus on laying a solid foundation and collecting commodities to prepare for city upgrades. Midgame sees you weaving defense into your strategy: knights are essential to weather barbarian threats, and the decision to invest commodities into city improvements becomes a key differentiator between contenders and contenders-to-be. As the game advances, metropolises introduce high-value opportunities that can redefine endgame scoring. The combination of defense, development, and expansion keeps everyone engaged from the first roll to the final settlement.

Practical tips to maximize your setup

  • Balance resource diversity with commodity production. Early investments in commodities pay off later through city upgrades and improvements.
  • Coordinate with teammates (if playing in teams) on knight deployment to repel barbarians more efficiently and protect vulnerable cities.
  • Plan for metropolises: identify which cities are best suited for upgrade and align your commodity flow to reach those goals before rivals.
  • Leverage progress cards at key moments. A well-timed card can turn a tight spot into a decisive advantage.
  • Adapt your strategy as the barbarian track advances. When danger grows, prioritize defense without neglecting growth elsewhere on the board.

Battle-tested value for enthusiasts

Cities & Knights isn’t just a new layer of complexity—it’s a thoughtful evolution of the Catan experience. It preserves the core charm of resource trading and expansion while introducing tangible waypoints for strategic planning. The city-improvement system creates a meaningful pathway from early settlement to late-game dominance, and the barbarian mechanic ensures every game unfolds with momentum, tension, and satisfying, game-long ambition.

Compatibility and setup essentials

This expansion is designed to pair with Settlers of Catan, elevating the base game experience without replacing it. If you’re ready to explore a more ambitious version of Catan, Cities & Knights is the natural next step that unlocks new strategies, longer campaigns, and a broader range of winning paths.

Cute but…
Color: White, Color: White
I think this is really cute and a good weight. I expected it to be bigger but it’s about the size of squirrel. The product itself was packaged well and arrived with no damage and had some charge to it already that I was able to test it out right away. It has three small lights that light up a warm yellow but are strong enough to highlight the angel. It has a solar strip on the side of it. It’s a very pretty design but one of the first things I noticed was the angels head was dipped so low that I couldn’t see her face without picking up the statue and looking at it or squatting down to get eye level with it.it would have to be displayed on a higher area or an inclined area to get the full effect of its design. I think the price listed is high for the size and material of the product. I would pay $15-18 for this. If the design was larger and the head was lifted up a bit then I would pay the list price of $27.

Beautiful Solar Angel Garden Statue
I honestly teared up a little when I opened this because it’s even more beautiful in person than I expected from the listing. The angel design with the birds perched across the arms is peaceful and eye catching, and once it’s placed in the garden it really becomes a focal point. I positioned mine in a sunny spot and surrounded the base with a few decorative stones to help hold it in place since the statue itself is fairly lightweight. The solar feature works great, I’ve had it outside charging during the day and the birds automatically glow at night with a soft warm light that looks really pretty once the sun goes down. It gives off a calm, cozy glow that makes the yard feel really inviting in the evenings. The resin construction seems durable for outdoor use and overall the detail is really nice for the price point, though if you look very closely you can see a little bit of glue around the birds. Once it’s set up outside though, those little details fade away and the overall effect is just beautiful. Overall I’m really impressed with this piece and it’s a lovely addition to the garden.
