The Cities and Knights of Catan (German: Städte und Ritter) is an expansion to the board game The Settlers of Catan for three to four players (five to six player play is also possible with the Settlers and Cities and Knights five to six player extensions; two-player play is possible with the Traders & Barbarians expansion). It contains features taken from The Settlers of Catan, with emphasis on city development and the use of knights, which are used as a method of attacking other players as well as helping opponents defend Catan against a common foe. Cities and Knights can also be combined with the Seafarers of Catan expansion or with Catan: Traders & Barbarians scenarios (again, five to six player play only possible with the applicable five to six player extension(s)).
Because of the new gameplay elements introduced in Cities and Knights, the game is typically played to 13 victory points, as opposed to 10 as in the The Settlers of Catan base game.
