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.

Works way better than its price would suggest
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
A family member got frothed milk in their coffee and loved it, so they started doing it at home. They were using a wand mixer which is great at splashing milk all over creation but not very good at actually frothing it. I asked them what kind of frother they wanted and they gave me 2 criteria: Rechargeable, and inexpensive. They didn't want to spend a lot on something they might not like or might outgrow, and they didn't want to constantly be looking for batteries. This frother fits the bill. It recharges with a regular USB-C cable and comes with a short one (but not a wall plug so make sure you have one of those). It was also less than $11 delivered so not a lot to gamble on an occasional-use gadget. Does it work? Absolutely, and a lot better than I ever thought it would. I was given a demonstration and in 10 seconds I saw a small cup of half and half turn into frothy foam. I'll admit, it does taste pretty good in coffee. I 3D printed a stand to hold the mixer upright on the counter. Otherwise the base is too small and it tips over. That's not a complaint, just an observation. If you want it to stand upright, you'll have to do something similar. Otherwise, this thing is a good combination of simple, inexpensive, and effective.

Great Milk Frother for Coffee Lovers
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable, Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I’m really happy with this electric milk frother. It is easy to use, rechargeable, and makes rich, creamy foam in just a few seconds. It works great for coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, and even hot chocolate. The design is sleek and comfortable to hold, and it is very easy to clean after use. The battery lasts well, and I like that I don’t need disposable batteries. Overall, this is a great product for anyone who enjoys making coffee drinks at home. Highly recommended!

Great purchase
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I've had my Circle Joy Frother since May 11th, and I've have used it every day. It's the best frother I've ever ordered or owned. It's powerful, works great and it's rechargeable, no batteries to buy for this one. I'll buy this one again if or when it stops working. I'm very satisfied.

Game Changer for Coffee Lovers
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
I purchased the Circle Joy Rechargeable frother mostly because of the price. The frothy-whipped cream is a treat on the weekends, and the last hand frother I purchased zapped out. WoW - this one is amazing! The last one I had was battery operated, and wasn't as fast as this one. I now use it everyday because it works so quickly. It comes with a "lid" for the blender part, so I can toss in my briefcase. Love that recharges quickly so its ready when I am. Great price, easy to use, looks sleek, and tiny enough to take with you. LOVE, FiVE Stars

Great for short term
Color: Storage Cover Black, Size: Rechargeable
Works great when it works.... But I've bought three this year and two of them just unexpectedly died with no logical reason. Giving up and trying a new brand for my protein coffee drinks. *Edit....after original review the seller offered a refund and apologized for the issues I had. Bumping up my rating for proactive customer service and trying to make things right.
