Catan: Cities & Knights - Learn to Play!

The glover teaches us how to play Catan: Cities & Knights. The expansion that turns your base Catan game into a battle of principalities.

I have this one and I gotta say- It makes the game even more epic

[@polican935]

I know you may never read this, but id like to thank you for making a lengthy rule book so simple to understand! My family plays this every weekend, and its definitely brought us together. We already have seafarers, so I wanted to add this as our next expansion. Thank you so much for this, ill be showing this as a tutorial video before we play this weekend.

[@warrenyu2949]

Holy moly this is confusing, so many more rules!

[@snslearners8273]

I know

[@ddenozor]

Okay there is one optional rule regarding the barbarian defence (up to players) Rather than using all knights, each player (starting from the player that rolled the die) decides how many of their active knights do they contribute to the cause. This makes for an interesting diplomatic round as weakest player might have to offer a stronger player resources to send enough knights to defend so he doesn’t lose his only city.

[@BayhouseLoans]

This along with Seafarers and the 5-6 player expansion packs is the most epic way to play Catan. Imagine all this with more than double the map size, and gold resource hexes. Where da gold at?!?!

[@CptDangernoodle]

This is the best expansion. Traders and barbarians has way too many game types, and seafarers is a bit too simple. This is just the right amount of novelty to make it interesting

[@devilzdandruff9199]

Seafarers goes with the base game like Peanut butter and jelly. It was to be included with the main game anyway but they scrapped it last minute for some reason because of the cost to include it and to simplify the game. I always recommend that people get Seafarers first and go from there. That said.. Cities and Knights is great.. albeit very different. Traders and Barbarians adds some great variety as well. It’s Catan.. you can’t lose either way.

I love your videos, I've for years always use these videos to introduce and explain the different Catan games to friends who haven't played them yet.

[@BeeEmEcks]

this is the best expansion

[@Sudgy]

Nevermind, just checked your twitter! I am very looking forward to playing it when released - I LOVE CATAN. Thanks Klaus Teuber for creating the greatest board game I have ever played.

[@visheshjjain]

Please do a video about the 5-6 player extension of cities and knights

[@99kylies15]

Ohhh, what a great guide! Learning this game to play with my family nd it helped so much. Thanks!

Good to see the Master Hand is finding work during down time

[@oo0O0oo]

Really enjoying this expansion but I have a few gripes. 1. The game gets too long. two, sometimes three hours per game, and I've yet to add sea farers expansion. With the new currency, players tend to move away from building things that count victory points and focus more on knights and unlocking buildings. This makes early game really slow. 2. Progress cards (new development cards) vary in strength. Some feel useless and some extremely strong. All luck based. 3. You can now spam progress cards. With the new rule removing 1 development card per turn (but limiting to max 4 progress cards), you can unleash all your progress cards at once to do some real damage. This feels a bit too strong and can really destroy and unmotivate a player.

Glover is fucking creepy seriously floating gloved hands are the essence of nightmares.

[@kenpeters9807]

Something everyone fails to mention. This is an excellent … EXCELLENT … two player game also.

[@vsetix__4919]

You put way to much effort for 1.7k subs my dude good stuff

[@landfish6663]

This makes me so glad I got the Explorers and Pirates expansion.

[@dcavic6157]

Awesome video! Thank you so much definitely sharing this with friends.

[@coordinator3039]

We actually use a white die and a yellow die (where the yellow is used for progress card placement).

[@fbartram]

Does he paint his arm blue so that you can only see the glove with the blue screen?

[@SwayDaGawd]

On the calendar it saids Ship, which requires one Sheep and one Wood, what does that do?

[@TheMuddler]

It's for the seafarers expansion, just in case you wanna combined both expansions.

[@catherinelim6920]

Great explaining

[@ginagee5627]

But what about ships? I only have the base game catan and cities and knights. There are no ship pieces or rules for what to do with them?

[@La_Space]

These needs to be a little more detail on using knights and upgrading Knights. For example, how many of your Knights are allowed on the board at any one time? I thought upgrading a knight meant I couldn't reuse a lower level knight? Thanks.

[@leonard71]

You can have as many knights as you have pieces. If you upgrade a knight, the lower level knight goes back in your stash where you can buy it and place it on the board if you have the resources.

[@bradensorensen966]

I, a player who finds it somewhat difficult to beat the CPUs on Catan Universe, won by a landslide playing Cities and Knights for the first time without even knowing how it worked... Maybe I should ignore tutorials.

[@litt1ee]

Lots of help for playing thanks

[@coordinator3039]

I have this version however my dice are white and yellow. The yellow one determines more than the resource roll

[@ComradeMorlac]

How to decide wich city gets reduced to settlement? For example what if i have a city and a metropolis? Metropolis doesnt count right? but what if i have more cities, how do i decide wich one goes?

[@peachy3271]

Comrade Morlac You just choose one.

[@bourne817]

How many knights can one player own at a time? 2?

[@yxz5198]

bourne817 its 2 of each type, so you’ll have 2 basic knights, two strong knights and two mighty knights. You build them like roads and settlements.

[@dantheman52420]

Holy crap so many rules. Someone got carried away

[@NB_Medic]

why was this filmed for schools in the 30's?

[@Cook-by-the-book]

Argh! What happened to the channel with he updated instruction videos?

[@Sudgy]

Do you have any plans to convert this into the ipad/ipod version of the game? I would love to know and would buy in a heartbeat

[@stevenpecoraro3777]
