PLAYED FOR YOU

Star Trek Catan

Federation Space Map Set

Catan is nice, Star Trek Catan is nice, and Star Trek Catan is nice, very nice, indeed. For dedicated fans of both topics there are now those two maps, expanding the core game, with which you can boldly follow Captain Kirk on his missions and settle worlds in Federation Space, from Aldebaran to Vulcan. The "geography" of the boards is based on the map of the “Known Galaxy“ in Kirks Ready Room. Planet names relate to individual episodes, partly on quotations about planets, partly on events on planets. You use components and development cards from the core game Star Trek Catan and play using the basic rules from this game, too, with additions and changes: Basically, you build outposts on marked positions and space ships on red and yellow trade routes. For the building of outposts the distance rules have been abolished, you can build on each of the marked spaces. Space ships that you build on red trade routes give you control over the adjacent outpost and you can trade with it. When you build a space ship next to a still empty outpost location, you cannot build a space ship beyond this location; you must build the outpost first. Space ships that you have built next to VP intersections give you the corresponding victory point marker; those intersections have been marked for events from the episodes, too. You win the standard game with 10 victory points; for a longer game you can play for 12 or 13 victory points, corresponding markers are available.

Catan as we know it and love it, and yet different; the deletion of the distance rule and the forced building of outposts change the strategy.
