Die Siedler von Catan: Kartenspiel – Ritter & Händler

Get ready to expand your battles and trades on the island of Catan with Ritter & Händler (Knights & Merchants)! This expansion for the Catan Card Game brings 29 cards from the old 1997 tournament set, plus an exclusive new card to spice things up. If you enjoy the vibe of conflict and trade, this one's for you, with a special focus on combat fleets and trade routes. It's one of those additions that takes ideas from players around the world and turns them into cards you can use to dominate your opponent.

Released in 1999, Ritter & Händler was one of the first expansions to give a boost to the Catan Card Game, which was already a strategic card duel. Here, the tension increases with new possibilities for attack and defense, as well as opportunities for more intense resource trading. The base game already requires good reasoning, and this expansion adds strategic layers that will make you think twice before each move. It's a great addition for those who already master the base game and want more challenges and variety in their matches.

Remember that, like many expansions, Ritter & Händler requires the base Catan Card Game to be played. The fun lies in adapting your strategies to deal with the new cards and the situations they create. If you're a fan of the Catan series and enjoy two-player card games with a touch of civilization and trading, this expansion might be exactly what was missing from your collection to boost your games.
