Catan: Starfarers 2nd Edition

This is a stand-alone game and requires no base game to play!

It’s the year 2700 and you’ve been selected to compete for the prestigious title of Ambassador to the Galactic Council.

Not just anyone can become Ambassador—you must earn fame and glory by leaving the known universe behind. Delve deep into the unknown, discover new solar systems, meet new extraterrestrial lifeforms and use your diplomacy so they will aid you with their powers. As you explore the space in between, you’ll encounter wormholes, merchants, pirates and more. All of this is made easier with the right upgrades to your ship.

Discover the joy of building your own mothership. Add boosters to fly faster, lock on freight pods to increase your bargaining power and diplomacy, and outfit cannons to fend off pirates. Each mothership also has a unique shaking mechanism to determine your moves and encounters in the game.

From the publisher:

Finally, a jump to the stars has succeeded! It is the middle of the 3rd millennium. You and your fellow Catanians travel in spaceships to distant planetary systems in search of more resources. Along the way, you befriend alien civilizations who might become valued trading partners.

Increase your resource production to build new transport ships and spaceports. Equip yourself against the lurking danger of space pirates. Many exciting encounters await you!

Twenty years ago, the settlers have already started into the depths of the galaxy to discover unknown planets. This completely revised reissue of the classic The Starfarers of CATAN contains atmospheric illustrations, refined rules, and redesigned game components.

The undiscovered universe lies before you and the new variable game plan brings even more variety. Maybe you can find planets with good ore or carbon deposits. But maybe you discover barren ice planets. Or you encounter alien folks and start lucrative trading, while pirates and wormholes are a constant challenge.
