Descripción
They've arrived in a new quadrant of the galaxy and are vying for acceptance into the Galactic Council. To achieve their goal, they'll have to follow orders, establish trade relations, expand their ship, and found colonies. But watch out for pirates!
A work by Klaus and Benjamin Teuber, this title is illustrated by Franz Vohwinkel. It is a game exclusively for two players, ages 12 and up, with games lasting approximately 75 minutes. This edition is completely independent of Catan: Star Travelers, although it shares its setting and mechanics. The objective of the game is to be the first to score 10 points.
As is customary in Catan games, player turns begin with a production phase, in which an orange die is rolled and both players receive raw materials based on whether the roll matches the number of their colonies or production centers. Then, there is an exploration phase, where they must choose one of the four sectors (made up of a stack of cards) to which they wish to travel. During the exploration phase, players can perform actions based on the revealed sector cards, from buying or selling materials to founding colonies or trading stations. However, they may also encounter pirates, whom they can bribe or fight. The final phase is the trade and construction phase, where they can exchange raw materials and/or upgrade their starship.
Players who are too lazy to read the rules or watch a tutorial can learn how to play with five introductory missions specially designed to familiarize themselves with the game's mechanics. If, on the other hand, they are already familiar with titles in the Catan universe, they can jump right into the full adventure.
Navigate your starship through the depths of a remote quadrant of the galaxy. Found colonies and trading stations, battle pirates, and earn the respect of the Galactic Council. Whoever performs best and is the first to earn 10 victory points will be accepted into the Galactic Council and win the game. Who will impress the Galactic Council?
