Starfarers of Catan

Have you ever traveled through space minding your own business only to be attacked by space pirates?  Or how about being stopped by a merchant trying to peddle his wares, only to be a space priate in disguise?  Have you ever played Starfarers of Catan and felt like every damn card you draw is space pirates?  Yeah, us, too.

This week, join us as we play through Starfarers of Catan, a Euro-style game set in the Catan-verse.  Much like Settlers of Catan, Starfarers is a game of resource collection and development, where players race to be the first to the victory points goal.  Points can be earned in a variety of ways, which allows for multiples avenues to acheive victory.

Unfortunately, the game has been out of print since 1995, so unless you've got an old copy lying around, chances are this game will be hard to come by.  There have been rumblings from the publisher, Mayfair Games, about a reprint, but they never seem to have a date.  Regardless, if you can get your hands on a copy, we highly recommend it.

Oh, yeah, and Junior inadvertantly gets highly vulgar to start off, so make sure you listen for that.  Trust us, you can't miss it.  Sorry, Mom.
