Differences From The Settlers of Catan
Because of the new rules introduced in Cities and Knights, the game is played to 13 victory points, as opposed to 10 as in the The Settlers of Catan base game.
The following cards are not used in Cities and Knights:
- the Development Cards—which have been replaced by Progress Cards.
- the Building Cost Cards—the information on these cards is provided by the City Upgrade Calendar.
- the "Largest Army" Card—having a large army is still an advantage, but does not earn victory points so directly as in the regular version of The Settlers of Catan. Instead of soldier cards, one is now able to purchase the eponymous knights.

Famous quotes containing the words differences and/or settlers:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“When old settlers say “One has to understand the country,” what they mean is, “You have to get used to our ideas about the native.” They are saying, in effect, “Learn our ideas, or otherwise get out; we don’t want you.””
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
