Published by Kosmos in 1995, Settlers of Catan is the first of the Catan game series. The original game is expanded upon by expansions and extensions: the former adds new gameplay to Settlers, while the latter adds the ability to add two more players to the game, creating a game for six players. The 5-6 player extension of the base game itself was released in 1996. As of 2008[update], there are three expansions to Settlers, adding new gameplay to the core game, and each expansion has a matching extension. Gameplay for 5-6 players with expansions require the extensions for both the base game and the expansion(s) involved.
Released in 1998, Cities & Knights vastly changes the original design of the Catan rule mechanics to expand the role of the cities. It adds barbarian attacks, metropoli, a merchant, commodity production, and physical knights to the primary rules. The 5-6 player extension was released in 2000.
Although elements of this expansion were available separately from 2004 to 2007, this pack was not released in English until 2008. It combines elements of fishing, events, expanded trading, barbarian attacks, camel trains, and much more to make a more well-rounded playing experience. It also includes rules for play with 2 people. The 5-6 player extension was also released in 2008.
The Catan Historical Scenarios series (not to be confused with the Catan Histories series) was a series of otherwise independent board games that required parts from Settlers to play. As with Settlers itself, 5-6 player play in these scenarios required the use of the 5-6 player extensions.
The first scenario pack ever created for Settlers, Historical Scenarios I, released in 1998, recreated the epic campaign of world conquest undertaken by Alexander the Great and also recreated the building of the Great Pyramids by Cheops. Scenarios such as this would later spawn the Catan Histories spin-off line of games.
The second historical scenario pack, released in 2001, allowed players to fight together against the city of Troy, made famous by the Iliad. It also contained a scenario involving the construction of the Great Wall of China.
Scenario packs for Settlers have been released on special occasions. Each of these requires the base game, and possibly extensions and expansions, to play. Released in 2000 in Germany as Das Buch zum Spielen, this book provides around 20 different scenarios for use with the original game. An English translation of the scenarios was released in the United States as The Play Book and in the UK as The Game Book. Some of these scenarios were also re-released later in other scenario packs. Following the success of the Game Book, Kosmos in Germany released this scenario pack in 2005 which included the event cards, an updated flood scenario named Atlantis, as well as other smaller scenarios.
