Catan fans, get ready for the most intense challenge ever! Legend of the Conquerors is an epic expansion that takes place 570 years after the first settlers arrived on Catan. Now an enemy army is invading from the northern shores, and you've got to defend the island with everything you've got. This isn't your typical Catan game - you'll be uniting knights, deploying cavalry and cannons, and fighting back against conquerors. The expansion includes three interwoven scenarios that tell a continuous story, so it feels like you're playing through a campaign with the same group. You get 24 terrain hexes, 20 conquerors, 16 forts, progress cards for politics and battles, plus all sorts of tokens and markers for amber, wine, and military units. There are cannons, horses, foundries, horse farms - it's a whole new level of strategy for experienced Catan players. You do need the base Catan game AND the Cities & Knights expansion to play this, so it's definitely for serious Catan enthusiasts who want deeper gameplay. The chapter-based structure means you can play multiple sessions with evolving strategies and outcomes. If you've mastered the regular game and Cities & Knights, this expansion will test your skills in completely new ways. The components are high quality as you'd expect from Catan, and the new mechanics add so much depth to the gameplay. Seriously, if you love Catan and want the ultimate challenge, this expansion will keep your game nights exciting for months as you work through the different scenarios and strategies.
