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- the Development Cards—which have been replaced by Progress Cards.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.

“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.””
