Catan Historical Scenarios I: Alexander and Cheops (German: Die Siedler von Catan Historische Szenarien: Alexander der Grosse & Cheops) is the first of two Historical Scenario expansions to the Settlers of Catan board game, distributed by Kosmos in Germany and redistributed with rules translations in various other territories. The Historical Scenarios put the players in historical settings, while maintaining the Settlers game mechanics. The Historical Scenarios are generally considered to be the forerunners to the later Catan Histories series of board games (which, similar to the Historical Scenarios, incorporate Settlers-style game mechanics with historical settings), though the latter are fully independent games with their own game parts parts.

Boldly by battery besiege Belgrade;
