Does the Cities expansion require the Leaders expansion?

no, it does not. Yet I would very much recommend purchasing the Cities expansion as well. Gives the game a new flavor and adds interesting complexities, too.

No. The Cities expansion will have a few more leaders to add to your leaders deck if you do have it, but the core of the Cities expansion (Black cards, debt tokens, diplomacy tokens and 8-player mode) functions completely fine without it. Also the two new wonders do not interact with leaders at all.

It does not, there are cards that work with it etc, but those can be removed easily enough. I would recommend Leaders as the better expansion however.

No. They are totally separate and independent expansions. Cities has a couple of it's own leaders so it further enhances the Leader expansion. They both enhance the basic game with new places/wonders and new guilds cards.

Mine has free map upgrades for life, not sure if that is what you are asking though.

Yup :) Up to four playable characters and houses, the first person created will be Mayor and the rest will just be villagers :)

No--you use the expansion pack instead of cards that come with the game. There are more of them, they are larger and easier to read and manage--same with the train cards. Hope you have as much fun with it as we have.

I don't know about needing additional boards, but i believe the expansion allows another player to play.

Easy to be confused...they don't seem to make it obvious, but yes, Update means that you need to already have a copy. Also for your eTrex, make sure that you buy the non-NT version of City Navigator. The NT version is for the newer units.

The expansion rewrites over the game data so the expansion needs all 8 gb. To answer your question it is just for the expansion.

No. It will only fit the original catan and the cities and knights expansion

Yes. I tend to make my way through the levels and then go back and do levels in free play and explore the city, but you can. The nicest thing is that as you complete "city" tasks, new tasks open up. So you're not overwhelmed with tasks and it kind of make the game last longer.

You can easily play with just an expansion pack. There are just not as many cards in the expansion packs, so your games may be shorter.

The Seafarers Expansion, well, expands the board. In theory, it could "work" but it won't be what it should be, which is a big board. They do have Plastic Boards made for the Seafarers Expansion.

Not without the expansion. But as the game progresses you will gain different cards that give you unique powers. But those cards are random each game.

This only works if you have the newer version of the base game. If you have an older version it didn't come with borders and won't work well with this expansion.

With Seafarers you just need to adapt the board setup in any way you desire. There is no set layout. With Cities and Knights some of the scenarios do not work well, but using the Fishermen and Rivers variants can add some new elements to the play. We often play with "Fishermen" in all variants of the game.

Not "required", but I would suggest playing it first. It sort of pieces the story together.

This expansion makes it where 5-6 people can play the original game only. If you want cities, knights or sea farers, those have to be bought separately.

How about hinterlands? Any thought on that? I'm thinking of picking up Prosperity as the second one. Not sure if I'm ready for the Seaside complexity, and I don't need the extra base game, so unless the rest of intrigue is awesome...
