Die Siedler von Catan: Historische Szenarien I - Alexander der Große & Cheops is a 1998 expansion to Catan. The first of the two “historical scenarios” expansions, this expansion takes the gameplay mechanics of Catan and applies it to a historical context.

This expansion was first previewed in the 2/1997 issue of Siedler-Zeitung, with the sneak peak of a scenario introduced as “Rameses”.

No English version was ever released, though German versions were available for release with a bundled English translation.
