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- the Development Cards—which have been replaced by Progress Cards.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 don’t know what immutable differences exist between men and women apart from differences in their genitals; perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal, until we provide equal respect for both men and women, our answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.”
—Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)
“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)
