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.

10 Seasons Cards for Standard Sleeve Size (created with permission)
This is a remix of Kungfro's Seasons Cards* with some slight tweaks. The fonts are slightly different, the colors of the backs are a bit ink friendlier, and a Seasons Tracking Card is now included. These cards are printable as borderless 8.5" by 11" sheets with 9 cards per page. * Seasons rules not included! Please download them here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/39253/catan-seasons

1 Card Trays for Cities and Knights
This combination tray-and-tuckbox system keeps your commodity and progress cards organized both during play and in the box. [Similar trays for resource cards can be found under the main Settlers of Catan page. If you wish, you could replace the development cards with "Defender of Catan" cards. Or just keep the development card tray closed and place the "Defender of Catan" cards on top of the closed development card tray during play.] Cut along solid gray lines. As with standard origami notation, dashed lines indicate valley folds, while dotted-dashed lines indicate mountain folds. Apply adhesive to solid gray areas. With these guidelines, assembly should be self-explanatory.

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.

4 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.
