Very successful board game

In "Starfarers of Catan" is the successful Space version of "The Settlers of Catan". Up to four players take off from their home planet and are on their way to new solar systems and foreign nations to move and act. The proven commodity system has been maintained and adapted the available raw materials for a space game. In the foreign peoples in the galaxy trading stations can be built to enjoy depending on people special advantages.
A nice touch is that determine the speed of the own spaceships that arises by paintballs. The type and design of events like that very much. Here read the respective left neighboring the affected (example: "A space pirate will attack you - you want to help") Some events ask the same question, but have different resolutions, which offers more complexity and uncertainty. The usual exchange of the commodities among the players ensures pleasant interaction.
The game takes a long time, given "120 Minutes" are correct. So the game is not entertaining, but is fun for an entire evening. For me, the only point of criticism: the holders of the drives to the motherships. This really break off easily, here a more stable material definitely would have been better.
All in all a very successful board game, which will not be bored even after repeated playing.
