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.

0 Progress Cards and City Development Reference (V2), Translated to English from 1st Edition German (Native English Translation)
Here is an updated version of my "Progress Cards" German-to-English translation that includes level three of the city development flip-charts as well. I have also made minor grammatical/other corrections to the errata and translations. Enjoy! As usual, feedback and comments welcome.

0 Progress Cards Reference, 1st Edition German to English, Excellent Translation
For anyone lucky enough to have the German 1st-Edition of this excellent game but unlucky enough to speak *zero* German, I present this much-improved and edited English translation of the German 1st edition progress cards, organized by color and sorted alphabetically, including card errata where applicable. I based this off of the original, decent translation by one 'M. Beet" which was mostly technically correct but grammatically very difficult throughout and just plain bad in some places. Enjoy! Please post feedback and comments.

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.
