    As a disclaimer: I’ve only played the original 25th Anniversary version and this one, Starfarers.I initially thought this version was way more complicated and would be difficult to track throughout the game but was pleasantly surprised. It is not ever boring even hours into playing.It has the balance of strategy and luck, much like life, to keep you engaged and enjoying it. Unlike Monoploy, a player far ahead in the game in monopolizing has to consider defenses of colonies and trade stations otherwise can lose victory points to another player.I recommend watching YouTube channels on this game first, then read the instructions. It helps clarify quickly what is what and why. Also, pay close attention to the definition differences of a motherships strength versus speed versus Combat strength. We didn’t understand that until our second time playing it.The game graphics and parts are beautiful and generous. The strategies of the game constantly interesting.It’s worth the price tag.

    I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas, and we have played it one time when we got together with my other daughter. We are a Catan family and own almost all the expansions and accessories. It was fairly easy to learn, more so for my daughters, than for myself, being of advanced age and a little slower. But, by the end of the game, which I won, by the way, I was able to have a good understanding of the strategy. It is a large board game and requires a lot of room, so it is not for someone with little table space. We look forward to playing again when we get together, and all feel it is so far, our favorite of all the Catan. Love the rockets and all the pieces, which are well made and fit together snugly. Lots of fun, and different than any of the other Catan games, so a great addition to our collection. If you liked the game, Cootie, as a child, you would probably enjoy the fun of accessorizing your rockets. It took us a couple hours to play the first game, because we were learning it as we played, but I think the average game time can range from 30 minutes to an hour.

    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. Not a game for younger kids as it is a bit challenging and takes several hours to play.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Si te gusta el juego base, la expansión es indispensable
    Reviewed in Mexico on April 22, 2021
    Para mí es la mejor versión del catan, el precio parecerá elevado tanto para el juego base como para la expansión pero por los siguientes argumentos les diría que es un precio razonable. Yo conseguí esta expansion a 980 pesos que es prácticamente el precio de la página oficial, el juego base me salió en 1800 (2780 en total) la realidad es que Starfarers equivale al catan original + dos expansiones porque tiene detalles de la expansion Seafarers, piratas y ciudades y caballeros. El juego base mas una expansion y dos amplaiciones para 5-6 jugadores sale en total en 2700 pesos aproximadamente, por eso yo recomiendo intentar el juego base y si les gustó mucho compren el Starfarers en inglés normalmente es mas barato, el único problema de ésta versión del catan es que la partidas se pueden alargar a mas de 2 hrs y con el catan original las partidas rara vez se alargan a mas de hora y media, sin embargo con esta expansión se impplementa una mecánica en la que dos jugadores hacen sus acciones casi simultaneamente entonces el tiempo entre turnos casi no se siente y el juego fluye muy bien

    Es la mejor versión del catan, en mesa se ve increíble, las naves de plástico le dan un toque muy único, el tablero es modular y hay una versión donde conforme avanzas tus naves vas descubriendo los planetas y acorde a eso empleas una estrategia, no hay ficha de ladrón como en el original por lo que nunca bloqueas a nadie cosa que en el original me molestaba mucho, siempre produces recursos y el juego no se traba, hay cartas de encuentro que te dan beneficios o en otras ocasiones de perjudican, la nave de plástico grande que tiene cada jugador la puedes mejorar dependiendo tu estrategia, cañones para vencer piratas espaciales, boosters para avanzar mas rápidos las colonias, cargas extra para dominar especia alienígenas que te dan puntos de victoria extra y beneficios extra durante todo el juego, puntos extra por terraformar planetas helados o vencer piratas, si les gusta mucho el original este les va a encantar, Como puntos en contra sería el precio (pero este equivale al catan original+ una expansion por la cantidad de variantes), el tiempo de partida que se puede alargar a mas de 2 hrs (a algunas personas le puede molestar) y el número de jugadores que es de 3 a 4 es decir no se puede jugar a dos, por eso si les gusta les recomiendo comprar la expansion a 5-6 jugadores para tener un mayor número y que salga más a mesa, la expansión de 5-6 trae un modo que acelera la velocidad del juego y disminuye el tiempo de espera entre turnos

    Reviewed in Canada on June 8, 2020
    Style: CATAN StarfarersVerified Purchase
    I have multiple variants of Catan. I didn't even realize that this version existed until I was looking up a rule and found a posting for the first edition. I saw that the second edition was on Amazon and I ordered it last week. It arrived a couple of days ago and I played it last night. The second edition fixes the problems of the first edition in terms of fragile pieces and stickers.

    Build quality is phenomenal. I would much rather pay $100+ for a game with quality pieces than something cheaply made. It builds on the concepts of the original Catan, but it is a fully new game - not a re-skinning. The way resources are generated, concepts of build/trade are the same. Rest of game is different.

    Multiple ways of getting victory points, so multiple strategies. You do not get blocked like in original Catan. No roads or seaways to build. It was really exciting to build ships and send them off. Next time we play we will do the variant that doesn't disclose the solar system/empty space until you explore - excited!

    It is a long game - the box states 2 hours to play. We played for 3 hours (all experienced Catan players, I had read through the rules and almanac before playing this version). The difference is that we had fun and momentum the whole time. It is not uncommon for a Catan game to start to drag at the end and you just want someone to win (and it is generally between two players with the others as also rans).

    The encounters were really fun. It is a bit like choose your own adventure and you do not know what will happen.

    My wife is not a big board game player, and she sat out the game last night. By the end of the playtime, she was excited to join us next time.
