CATAN Legend of the Conquerors Scenario Expansion – Defend Catan with Knights & Cannons (3–4 Players, 120 Min)

Epic narrative meets strategic depth

Experience a chapter-based saga set 570 years after Catan’s founding. This expansion invites you to defend the island from a rising threat while weaving a longer narrative across several plays.

To play Legend of the Conquerors, you’ll need the CATAN base game and the Cities & Knights Expansion. Pair them to unlock a deeper, more demanding challenge that fits within your existing CATAN collection.

Three interwoven scenarios

The core of the expansion is three linked chapters that unfold across a single campaign. Each scenario introduces new geography, fresh resources, and distinct tactical puzzles—from mobilizing cavalry to coordinating cannon fire. You won’t just roll dice; you’ll plan routes, manage risk, and adapt as the story advances.

• New challenges that push you to rethink familiar strategies
• Enemy forces threaten the northern shores, creating tension and opportunities
• Unit variety with knights, cavalry, and cannons adds tactical depth

Depth and complexity for seasoned players

Described as the most intense CATAN challenge yet within Cities & Knights, Legend of the Conquerors expands the decision space with campaign-style progression. Expect longer campaigns, evolving scenarios, and teamwork-driven problem solving rather than luck alone.

A campaign you can grow with

The chapter-based structure encourages you to replay the same group across multiple sessions, watching strategies mature and alliances shift as the story evolves. The format supports a longer arc while staying true to the CATAN universe.

Practical notes for a smooth setup

Gather the CATAN base game and the Cities & Knights Expansion to begin. The three scenarios are designed to be explored together, offering a cohesive arc rather than isolated battles.

Who is it for?
