Die Siedler von Catan: Historische Szenarien

About this expansion

Die Siedler von Catan: Historische Szenarien is an expansion for Die Siedler von Catan for 3–4 players, with an approximate play time of 90 minutes. Released in 1998, it belongs to the Catan series and presents two historical scenarios.

Rather than offering a single additional setting, this expansion includes two distinct scenarios inspired by major figures and events from history. Each scenario brings a different theme to the Catan experience while remaining part of the broader Settlers of Catan family.

• Cheops: Recreate the building of the pyramids in a Settlers-style scenario.
• Alexander the Great: Follow the imperial expansion of Alexander the Great.

The Cheops scenario focuses on the construction of the pyramids, while the Alexander the Great scenario follows an era of imperial expansion. Together, they give players two historical directions to explore within one expansion.

Die Siedler von Catan: Historische Szenarien was originally published in German. Mayfair Games later imported the German version in limited numbers and added a version of the rules translated into English; the imported first edition carried Mayfair SKU #587.

For fans of the Catan series, this expansion offers a way to revisit the familiar game through two themed historical scenarios. Its concise selection makes it easy to identify what sets it apart: one scenario centered on pyramids and one centered on Alexander the Great’s imperial expansion.
