When barbarians threaten the shores of Catan, more defenders make for a stronger island! This essential extension allows up to six players to join in the strategic depth of Cities & Knights, creating even more dynamic interactions as you collectively face the barbarian threat while competing for valuable resources.

This extension seamlessly integrates with the Cities & Knights expansion, providing all necessary components for fifth and sixth players including knights, cities, and development cards. The special build phase keeps everyone engaged between turns, ensuring no one waits too long to advance their civilization or strengthen their defenses against the approaching barbarian fleet.

With more players comes more complex diplomacy. Will you form temporary alliances to repel the barbarians, or focus on your own city improvements to gain the upper hand? The expanded player count transforms the game's strategic landscape, creating richer trading opportunities and more competition for those coveted metropolis positions.

The newly redesigned components match the enhanced artwork of the 6th Edition, ensuring a cohesive visual experience that maintains the immersive medieval atmosphere of Cities & Knights while accommodating larger gaming groups.
