First I must say that I was very skeptical at first this game over, if only because I do not think much of it when everything now to play in space. But after the first games I convinced myself of the contrary: this game was even better than "Starfarers of Catan". It opens up the players namely many possible actions, such as the exploration of diverse star system in the form of card decks. That may appear for one or the other very strange, but is a very interesting and successful gameplay. The trading of commodities has been replaced by trade in money, so now the principle sell cheap buy-expensive is possible. This is also very well done, just like the game material that does the rest for space atmosphere.
Conclusion: "Starship Catan", although ultimately only a variation of "The Settlers of Catan", but it sure as an independent and innovative game. Players have several options to get victory points. Friends of the settlers-series will have fun here!
