It would be nice to get a video for Seafarers too though if you have the time, because i think we might have misunderstood a few things. And also it would be cool if you made a video on what boardgames you would recommend for people only starting to get into the hobby, and are starting a collection :D my family has never played boardgames before and I want to introduce them in our household. I think playing games together really has the potential to strengthen a family.

Yea... I’m definitely a huge fan of the base version and have been playing it on and off for the past 7 years. I was aware of the other versions but didn’t take much interest until I bought the app a year ago and started playing seafarers. Then, just recently, a friend of mine was explaining cities and knights which led me to watching multiple videos on KZbin ( obviously including this one. ) Now I’m ready to try it out on the app and start training so I’m ready for real-time play against my friends.

@@NightsAroundaTable Yea, that’s what I’ve noticed. The nice thing is that there is something to like about all 3 versions. Still in the learning stage with C&K. Reminds me of when I first started playing Catan and how I thought there was quite a bit of complexity to it - eventually I became very comfortable with the gameplay and I have no doubt the same will happen with C&K. Your Overview of the game and descriptions were definitely helpful. It’ll be interesting to see how my wife takes on learning it. Haven’t taught her seafarers yet but that shouldn’t be much of an adjustment compared to C&K. (Although some learn faster than others) Thanks for creating this video and walking “Catanians” through the gameplay. Are there any other versions that you would recommend? Or is C&K pretty much the climax of Catan?

Can’t find the answer anywhere so does anyone know if metropolis’s add to the barbarian strength? For example, there are 4 cities on the board with 1 city having a metropolis. Is the barbarian strength 4, for the 4 cities, or 5, for the 4 cities and 1 metropolis? Furthermore, if that city with a metropolis is sacked down to a settlement, is the strength now 4, for the 3 cities and 1 metropolis, or 3, for just the 3 cities? One other question I have is before the first barbarian attack when a 7 is rolled we instead move the barbarian ship towards Catan along the track. If the black ship is rolled as well as a 7, do we move the black ship 2 steps towards Catan? And after the first attack, do we still move it 2 steps to Catan if the black ship is rolled with a 7?

Hi, Gina. When you roll the three dice, you have to resolve the event die first before you do anything with the other two dice, or take any further steps on your turn. That means that if the event die is a black ship, and the barbarians make landfall, they attack, and there's nothing you can do to mitigate the attack between rolling that die and suffering its effects! So batten down the hatches while you still can. :)

See 16:17. We played this expansion of Catan last night and came across a scenario that we were no sure of. One of the players had a robber placed on his 8 and an 8 was rolled. Does he still collect a resource of his choice in this case due to the robber? I'm guessing he does as it states on level 3 that "If you receive NO production on a turn and the roll is not a '7' you may take 1 resource of your choice" Any ideas?
@NightsAroundaTable
@NightsAroundaTable Жыл бұрын
A close reading of the 5th Ed rules reveals that you get the extra resource if “you do not receive any resources or commodities” (except on a 7 roll). Earlier rulebooks may have worded it “if your cities and settlements don’t produce…” in which case you could argue that they DID produce, but the robber took the stuff. But the latest rules are clear: production doesn’t matter. If you didn’t receive anything, you get to take something!

What happens if you build a second metropolis but don’t have a second city to build it on top of? Let’s say for example, I have built a metropolis by reaching the 4th city improvement in the yellow trade city improvements. I only have one city and it has a metropolis on it. But now I am the first to reach the 4th city improvement in the green science city improvements which would allow me to build a second metropolis. But I don’t have a second city! What happens then?

You think it would be possible to play catan with multiple expansions at once? It would be chaotic, but would it be possible? Knights and cities + seafarers?

For sure! In fact, they’ve even released campaign games where the entire point is to combine all your expansions! You can’t even play unless you own them all! Look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epSkl3qagL97m80

I can still upgrade past level 3 if i have a city, but i can't obtain metropolis because someone else has it? For example if my enemy has lvl 5 politcs and Metropolis, i can still upgrade to lvl 3, 4, 5?
@NightsAroundaTable
@NightsAroundaTable 3 жыл бұрын
Yes - you can keep improving that track. You just won't earn the metropolis for it, so it may be pointless to go beyond level 3 unless you're racing to snag an unclaimed metropolis.

There is a question. The barbarian powers were 5 And the power of red 2 And the powers of white and blue 1 And the strength of orange is 0 This means that we were unable to defeat the barbarians. Well, the oranges didn't have an active knight, but they didn't have a city, just settlements. In this case, will nothing happen or will Blue and White lose their cities? The other question. Blue has two level 1 knights Red has a level 1 knight and also a level 2 knight Blue used the Fugitive Card on Red. Red wants to give Blue a level 1 knight but Blue has two level 1 knights. Question: Should Red be forced to give Blue a level 2 knight or prevent Blue from using this card on Red?

Sort of? The hexes are all around the same size, but the cards look different, so other players will be able to tell which cards in your hand are commodities. It'd be way better to find an older copy of the expansion, or update your base game.
