Players can choose their identity and plan ahead. Thanks to this, the game is better, than the basic box. These tiny asymmetric elements are eventually quite pronounced and really affect the game. They give players abilities available throughout the game. The most significant change is the character cards referred to here as support. And its simply not enough to recycle, you have to bring something new. Those basic Catan rules no longer are as great and unique as they were fifteen years ago, when the game first entered the market. We were spoiled by the great Game of Thrones Catan game.
In fact, it is only disguised Settlers of Catan, which has brought us great disappointment. You may have learned from the description of the rules, that Star Trek Catan does not overflow with new ideas. He can then immediately celebrate victory. The game continues with additional revenue and construction up to the moment, when one player as a result of the construction (space station is worth two points), connecting the planets with ships (the longest uninterrupted route) and playing cards accumulates ten victory points. This card then returns to the middle and player has to choose another one. In addition, opponents can also use their support card. It can provide them with victory points, but also the ability to influence the situation on the map. In addition, players can also use one of their development cards in their turn to activate abilities. Buildings consist of paths represented by space crafts, outposts and stellar stations. In doing so, the opponents‘ tracks must not cross. Each player, whose base is in orbit of this planet, earns the income in the form of cards of adequate resources.įor these accumulated raw materials, players can expand their empire and gradually increate their presence in orbits. This means, that everything starts with a pair of dice, whose sum determines one or more planets, that will yield a gathering for the current round. Players then alternate as we already know from the classic Settlers of Catan. Shuffled development cards will also create a deck and players will receive their first start revenue from their sector. A set of support cards will create an offer next to the board and one of them will be selected by each player. Two vessels and the same number of bases will then be used by every participant to form his starting positions in orbit of some of the planets. They will be ready before the first game in transparent and elegant stands. That’s the whole territory of Federation.Įach player chooses a color and gets a complete set of fifteen ships, four outposts and five starbases. Divisions between the planets are ready for the construction of space paths and bases. Only the Klingon spacecraft will wait in the empty center piece for its chance to strike. For this purpose, each planet receives a digit token.
These will produce different raw materials for players to use.
#CATAN BOARD GAME STAR TREK FULL#
Inside the box with Enterprise ship on the lid (and a small village full of frightened folks), we find a game board comprised of a lot of components – especially a cardboard frame, whose inside will be filled with nineteen hexagonal plates representing the planets. Meanwhile, it should be mentioned, that the game is published under Catan Studio logo and comes in the distribution of Esdevium Games. Somebody might perceive it as crazy and riding on backs of two big brands, but let’s keep the score a few paragraphs away. This time, spacecraft will float over Catan and Captain Kirk cannot be missed on the captain’s bridge. Last time it was Game of Thrones environment, that allowed tall ice wall to grow up on Catan continent. He becomes an astronaut and explorer, who may even go where no one has gone before.įor the second time, two worlds are intertwining in the designer’s cradle of Klaus Teuber. But if you invite him aboard a spaceship, you give him a phazer and tell him to take care of building a space dock, will he still be the same farmer? Probably not. All this inseparably belongs to the lives of the farmer. Cultivate the fields, mow the meadows and watch the mountains beyond the river. Build houses and build villages, that will eventually become cities.
