Catan is one of the great classic board games. Given another decade or two, it will come to be recognized alongside Risk, Axis and Allies, Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Clue, and other games that pretty much everyone has played at least once or twice. The Star Trek version is a good addition to the franchise. The rules remain the same with one addition: support cards (each one of several major Star Trek characters) have special abilities ranging from protection from the 7 to drawing resource cards, forcing trades, or a host of other abilities. This addition definitely changes strategy and gameplay enough to warrant a new addition of Catan. For Star Trek fans its worthwhile; if you aren’t a Star Trek fan and a Catan fan, it’s a must have. If you only like Catan and not Star Trek, this version promises to be as much fun as any other edition of Catan, but I don’t know that it would be worth purchasing.I have one complaint: the pieces are, by far and away, the most inconvenient of any Catan game ever. Each road (“USS Enterprise”), settlement (“Outpost”), and city (“Space Station”) requires a little stand that must be manually inserted in order to remain upright. It’s not a big deal, but it is annoying.

I originally got the Catan JR. for my 9 and 7 year old and we all loved it so much we wanted to try the regular Catan out, also my girls have just discovered Star Trek so I thought we could change it up with this version. My kids love IT! it is a little challenging for my 7year old but she can play it she often will play with one of us or be the “bank” because it is a LONG game and she usually can’t make it all the way through but, Grandma and their aunt get into it and It has become our regular go- to game for everyone, I will warn you it is complicated and a very long game to play all the way through but everyone from 7 to 65+ seems to love it in our family and it takes a couple of times before you get the hang of all the rules, but I think that is what is so compelling about it, It also is a game anyone can win or loose at any time because there is skill involved and strategy but there is enough luck it is anyone’s game!

I love Catan. It’s one of the first games I ever played with my husband when we started our weekly game nights years ago with friends. His mother happens to be a Star Trek fan (as are we!) and we didn’t have any form of Catan in our game closet. So, in anticipation of a nice camping trip with minimal electronics, we purchased this! As always, Prime shipping had it to our door just in time for the trip since I bought it spur of the moment.The gameplay is very similar to the original. (keep in mind that everyone always has some sort of “house rules” that they abide by. The biggest addition I noticed were the character cards with usable abilities. These were pretty darn handy (things like, move the Klingon ship to a space of your choice if you did not get any resources on your turn). They are usable up to 2 times and then the card is recycled. Anywho! I absolutely love it and the design is just a blast. You get to build starships and starbases! Who doesn’t want to do that?!

UPDATE, 2/13/17 -If you like Star trek or Catan, you’ll love this game! My husband, friends and I have played this game many times since I purchased it. The character cards add a whole new feel to the game. It’s a lot of fun and beautifully made. Quality pieces and art work. It does take a bit longer to play, due to the addition of the character cards. Other than that, same awesome game play as Settler’s of Catan. Highly recommend! 🙂 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Original Review, December 21, 2016 -I bought this for my husband for Christmas. We haven’t opened or played it yet, but I am super excited to. We love the original Settler’s of Catan and my husband is a big fan of Star Trek. Should prove to be a great game we play over and over with each other and our friends! Shipping was quick and product was packaged well. No damage to the item (on the outside).

We went out on a limb and bought this for my mom for Christmas. She likes Catan but not as much as we do however she loves Star Trek. This gift has been a huge hit and we have played it every week since then (8 weeks in a row!) It is the best Catan addition we have purchased so far. It is its own game but they mixed it up enough that it feels like a new game. We really love it and highly recommend it!

A fun spin on CatanSettlers of Catan is a fun game, and adding a Star Trek theme just makes it even better.Pros:The pieces look greatThe character cards are a wonderful addition to the game, adding new advantages to playersThe artwork is excellentIt’s Star Trek!Cons:It can be a little tricky to remember the names of the resources when playing the gameIt is very fun and I highly recommend adding this to your game collection

I just replaced my copy (lost the old one in a move). I love this game, it has the resource building and trading of catan with an extra mechanic of the crew. It really helps balance out the game if you either had bad placement or the dice just arent coming up in your favor. Many of the crew cards (which you always have one) will have a mechanic to get you a resource or allow you to build something with a different mix of cards. its a 5 star game with my only wish that they had done an expansion to add 5th & 6th players.

Fun and easy to play 4 player game. There are a few extra cards with bonuses, but other than that it’s the same as the Basic Catan game. For the price, I really think they could have done better. It’s sort of like buying a themed Monopoly game – sure it looks different but that’s about it.
