How to earn Largest Army, when it switches, and how it interacts with Longest Road.
Largest Army is 2 free victory points sitting in the development card deck.
But the rules around earning and losing it trip people up. Here's the full picture.
🎯
Quick Answer
Play 3 or more Knight cards to claim Largest Army (2 VP). If another player plays more knights than you, it switches to them. In a tie, the current holder keeps it.
How It Works
Step 1
Play 3 Knight Cards
The first player to play their 3rd knight card earns the Largest Army card — worth 2 VP. Place it face up in front of you.
Step 2
It Can Switch
If another player plays more knight cards than the current holder, Largest Army immediately transfers to them. A tie does NOT cause a switch — the current holder keeps it.
Step 3
Count Played Knights Only
Only knights that have been played face up count. Knights still in your hand don't count toward your total.
