Catan Starfarers 2nd Edition Strategy Board Game for Ages 14 and up, from Asmodee

Great game! Doesnt play like the original, but had similarities. if you like Catan and those types of boars ganes, adding the space theme is just a plus! the game is well worth around the $75-80 dollar region, with very good quality pieces.

The game was confusing and challenging to learn. But once we got the hang of it, it is fun to play. Combines strategy and a measure luck. It's like Star Trek meets Settlers of Catan. takes several hours to play. The game is similar to the other Catan Settler games where you collect resources and build out space colonies and spaceports to collect points to win. The game also introduces the outside element of a potential space encounter on each player's turn which can really impact the player's strategy - either assisting their opponents in unexpected ways or hampering their abilities. If you enjoyed but have tired of the traditional land Settlers of Catan; Starfarers is definitely worth a spin.
