If a player has '''10 or more victory points during their turn''' (including victory points cards), they reveal them and the game ends with their victory. For Catan Cities & Knights, a player needs '''13 or more victory points''' to win.

			==Variants==
			* Easy Start: Players reroll any 7s they obtain in their first 2 turns. With the Cities & Knights expansion, the event dice is not rolled during these turns as well.
			* Friendly Robber (Base Game only): The robber may not move to a terrain that is adjacent to a settlement of a player with only 2 victory points. If there is no valid terrain, the robber moves to the desert and the resource card cannot be taken from such players.

			===Cities & Knights===
			====Event Dice====
			* An additional event dice is rolled each turn.
			** If it shows a ship (3 faces), the barbarian ship moves 1 space closer to Catan. If it reaches the last space (7th), the barbarians attack.
			** If it shows a city gate (blue/green/yellow), players draw a progress card if the color of the gate and the red dice match their chart.
			* Each player can have up to 4 Progress Cards at a time. Victory Point cards are immediately played and do not count. Others can be played similar to Development cards.
			* When the barbarians attack, they have 1 strength per city/metropolis owned by all players; The defending army have strength equal to the value of all active knights.
			** If the barbarians are stronger, they pillage a city of the player with the lowest value of active knights, reducing it to a settlement. This also destroys any city walls under it.
			** If the defending army is equal or stronger, the player with the highest value of active knights (non-tied) gains a "Defender of Catan" victory point card, which is worth '''1 victory point'''. If there is a tie, the tied players gain a progress card each instead.
			** Regardless of the result, the barbarian ship is reset and all knights become inactive.

			====Cities====
			* When a city produces wool/lumber/ore, replaces a resource they produce with a '''commodity''' (cloth/paper/coin) instead.
			* Two new items can be built:
			** '''City Walls''' must be under an existing city without one and cost 2 brick (worth 0 points). A player can have at most 3 city walls, and each increases the maximum number of cards they can safely hold when a 7 is rolled by 2.
			** '''Knights''' must be connected by roads and cost 1 wool + 1 ore (worth 0 points). They start inactive at value 1, but they can be promoted with 1 wool + 1 ore (+1 value, up to 2) or activated with 1 grain.
			* '''Active Knights''' may perform 1 action on your turn regardless of strength. This can be moving it along your roads to another intersection, moving it onto a weaker opponent knight (forcing it to move or removing it), or chasing away a robber adjacent to it (as per playing a knight). They become inactive afterwards.
			* Cities can be developed in trade (yellow)/politics (blue)/or science (green) by paying 1 cloth/paper/coin per improvement level.
			** The 3rd improvement provides a power each: trade 2 of the same commodity for a resource once per turn (trade); may promote knights to value 3 (politics); take any resource if no resources are gained and no robbers (green).
			** The first player who reach the 4th improvement in each area may place a '''Metropolis''' on a city. They are worth '''4 victory points''' each and are immune to barbarians.

			====Variants====
			* Nasty Battles: When the barbarians land, starting from the active player, each player declares the amount of their own active knights they would commit to defending Catan.
			* Knight Errant: Before rolling the dice, a player may use an active knight to chase away the robber, as per playing a knight in base Catan.
