In Settlers of Catan Knights and Cities, wild barbarians, lured by Catan’s wealth and power, maneuver to attack. Their massive warships loom against the orange horizon. You must be strong! Barbarians attack the weakest targets, and the victim of their onslaught will be the player who contributes the least to the defense of Catan. Don’t take any chances! Field your knights!
You engage in the defense of Catan in Settlers of Catan Knights and Cities and compete to build the three great metropolises of Catan. Each of these magnificent centers are even more valuable than cities and are safe from the barbarians. You must invest in city improvements, which you acquire using commodities of trade: Coin, Paper, and Cloth. If you improve your culture, muster your knights, and enrich your cities, you will be the master of the great realm of Catan. This edition features all new artwork, and an insert tray to hold game components for up to 6 players.

Settlers of Catan Knights and Cities adds depth and complexity to the basic Catan game. As the other reviewers mention, it does add significant time to the game play. This expansion is much more fun than Seafarers.
Amazon User Rating: 5 / 5
Anyone who has played the original game will love this expansion. It involves more depth to the original as you have to develop your knights in order to succeed. Playing time varies with the amount of people. Very fun with 5 or 6 with the expansion. I would recommend this game to anyone that loves the original or that likes to play board games in general.
P.S.
The only thing I would caution is if you have any animals, the pieces tend to break. This is a personal preference, just thought I would throw that out.

It makes the Catan game a totally different game. More complicated and more interesting. The only problem would be that it makes the game time much longer than the original pack, and the rules are much harder to understand. Suitable for senior players of Catan.

This is the expansion to the original game Settlers of Catan. It takes an already amazing game to new heights. The Cities & Knights expansion is hands down my favorite game to play.
This game is rather complex with many (metaphorically) moving parts and strategies to explore. This makes it a great game, but hard to pick up for beginners.
Because the board is generated differently every time you play – every game is different! This makes for incredible replay value. The first to 13 points wins, but there are many different ways to get points. This makes for a variety of strategies and complexity in trying to keep track of all the different possibilities.
I enjoy complex, cerebral, strategy games. If you like that too, you’ll love this game.
