Expanding cities and knights may be the best expansion for The Settlers of Catan, if we are to believe the majority of the settlers fanbase. After I looked at the extension now gained I can only say that cities and knights actually a lot to offer. The basic game is preserved but is much more exciting by clever extensions. The expansion opens up many new possibilities and allows better maneuvering because the luck factor decreases. By trading with commodities and the expansion of cities, more ways to win points arise to fight for themselves, can be stolen by barbarians währrend victory points, if you can not protect his towns using the Knights. So there is a clear extension of the basic game, make the game much more interesting and allow a lasting game fun. I play it like always and even when it comes to super acquaintances.
