I would add that you can also play the knight on your turn BEFORE you roll your dice :)

<p>Or, if it's another players turn, and they place a robber one of my hexes, can I immediately counter them with one of my Knight cards, or do I have to wait until it's my turn to use it to remove the robber?</p>

Welcome, to board & cardgames. 
Next time when you have two questions, please ask them as separate questions. In this case I could change them into a single question, so no need to change it now.

# When to play a Knight card

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-23)

When can I play a Knight Card.

For example, when it's my turn, and I already have a knight card I have not played, can I use it if I do not have the robber on one of my hexes?

Or, if it's another players turn, and they place a robber one of my hexes, can I immediately counter them with one of my Knight cards, or do I have to wait until it's my turn to use it to remove the robber?
