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.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or alexander:
“Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained—in success—and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man’s highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.”
—Martin Buber (1878–1965)
“I shall not cease to bless because
I lay about me with the taws
That night and morning I may thrash
Greek Alexander from my flesh,
Augustus Caesar, and after these
That great rogue Alcibiades.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
