Description Edit | History

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. Adds tactical complexity to the game and game length.

Belongs to the Catan Series.

1 Victory Points.
If these are printed on glossy photo paper they don't look too bad, just cut to size along the dark line and just above the top of shield and at right angles to the dark lines on the bottom. Makes everything the same size.

2 Fenolin's Knights: 12 Colors
A set of Fenolin's Knights (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/436091) in 12 colors (blue, red, orange, white, brown, green, gray, pink, purple, black, natural wood and yellow), set up to print on standard 3/4" round label sheets (24 labels per sheet). The printed area is smaller than the labels, so some trimming is required, but this format might be easier to modify for some people.

10 Catan: Seasons
A 76-card event deck designed for use with the Cities and Knights expansion. There are 2 cards for each of the 36 outcomes on the production dice (plus 4 to change the season). Each card handles the event die based on the current season. Brave the weather of the four seasons! Defend against the sneaky Highwaymen! How many years will it take you to settle Catan?

2 catan city improvements (Scott Henneman) summary tracking sheet
Scott Henneman’s produced an excellent set of enhancement that add benefit to the city improvement track (gives more point to the city improvements than merely gaining cards). This summary sheet provides an extra mechanism to track which benefits are provided by the improvements. Print out one for each player and use 3 colored counters to track where you are. I backed mine onto card and plastic coated them to keep them in better order.

4 Cities & Knights Of Catan (Mayfair 3rd edition) progress cards reference
A reference that includes all of the Progress cards used in Cities & Knights Of Catan. This data is based on the almanac of the English, 3rd edition Mayfair game. While you can autofilter the columns, there isn't much to filter in this case. However, the familiar Excel spreadsheet does allow users to format, zoom, and otherwise rearrange the data to suit their needs.
