The "two-person stars Settlers card game" is there. That should not surprise anyone. For Klaus Teuber, his TM-Spiele GmbH and Kosmos have never held back the expansion of Catan family. What promised to demand, was produced. The quality of the games had including but to never suffer. The creation of a two-person version is a uniquely original invention created by Klaus Teuber, who was inspired in "Settlers card game" of elements of the card game "Magic". Teuber has founded a games line in Cosmos, which was continued with "Caesar and Cleopatra" and largely dominates the market today. Kosmos '' Games for two "stand for thematically varied duels, in which tactics and luck keep more or less in balance. Teuber has done with the "starship" one more time the feat that the players do not play against each other aggressively. Both are a spaceship in front of him. Try together to expand their spaceship in competition and to establish colonies - there are VPs. Who comes first ten, won. So incredibly exciting it can be to optimize its own area, the spaceship: How to prevent the whole degenerates to Patience? In "Starship" is the effect that the individual players and lost in to play in front of him, very effectively countered: The event cards of a playersIn must be uncovered from the other playersIn and possibly read. Because if the event card shows a pirate, the active playersIn may not see the map. This means that the one the moves of the other closely monitored. Four deck of cards are in the middle of the table. These stacks are four different space sectors. And in this stack "flies you into it," Klaus Teuber explains his game. It is this sector of space "discovered". In decks one can encounter the pirate said that you can bribe or expel with cannons. There are planets, on which one can establish colonies, if you have a suitable landing ship in the hangar. Considerable space in the game takes the action. If already hardly can be traded between players, then there are still plenty of trading opportunities. For the first time in the Catan World real money: the monetary Astro. So you can buy raw materials and sell. If one in the deck of cards "flies", one discovers planets where you can buy, for example ore for only one or two Astro. Then one invites his spaceship so full that the appropriate storage space is full. If you later discovered a planet where an ore cost five Astro, one the other hand think of selling and thus reap a tidy profit. The "Starship Catan" is a brilliant and lively game. A recommendation is particularly for those who demand more variety and change in a two-person game and also from comprehensive - not be deterred game rule - but equipped with an exemplary implementation instructions.
