Product Description

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. If you improve your culture, muster your knights, and enrich your  cities, you will be the master of the great realm of Catan!

This is the 4th edition and features all new  artwork, and an insert tray with space to hold game components from Cities and Knights 5-6 Player Extension.
