Catan: Starfarers
120m - 120m
2 - 4 Players
Ages 14+
Twenty years ago, the settlers started into the depths of the galaxy to discover unknown planets, the undiscovered universe lying before them. Maybe they’ll find planets with good ore or carbon deposits — or perhaps only barren ice planets. They might encounter alien folks and start lucrative trading, with pirates and wormholes being a constant challenge for them.
Catan: Starfarers is a new version of Starfarers of Catan, originally released in 1999, that contains completely revised graphics and game materials, revised rules, and (most importantly) a variable game board that brings even more variety to the exploration of space.

The map is long and feels like ages you can start reaching the other end and access colonies, but the encounters with aliens are very fun, kind of like the crossroad system in Dead of Winter. Gaining access to ice covered planets and fighting off pirates seem way too difficult and can only be achieved in the later stages of the game where these are the least of concern.

An evolution of Catan that changes up the formula in really inventive ways and will even appeal to seasoned board gamers who've moved on from Catan. Players must still contend with the randomization of dice rolls, but this method of resource gathering has much less weight and is instead replaced with many more opportunities for decision making.
