Product Description

Star Trek Catan takes two well-known media properties & merges them into well into something that is 95 The Settlers of Catan glossed with Trek tropes & spiced with a Trek-themed version of a mini-expansion In Star Trek Catan players start the game with two small Outposts at the intersection of three planets with each planet supplying resources based on the result of a dice roll Players collect & trade these resources – dilithium tritanium food oxygen & water – in order to build Starships that connect regions in the galaxy establish more Outposts & Starbases (upgraded Outposts) at new intersection points in order to increase resource acquisition & acquire Development Cards that provide Victory Points (VPs) or special abilities On a dice roll of 7 a Klingon ship swoops in to prevent resource production on one planet while taxing spacegoers who hold too many resources In Star Trek Catan differs from the basic Settlers in one aspect a set of Support Cards formerly available only in German as Catan Scenarios Helpers of Catan Each Support Card features a special ability & one of Kirk Spock Mc Coy Sulu Scott Uhura Chekov Chapel Rand or Sarek Some special abilities make basic actions better such as reducing the costs of Starbase upgrades or allowing the player to trade a resource of their choice at 21 for a turn while others break rules such as protecting the player from discarding on a 7 or producing a resource when the player rolls a number that wouldn&t otherwise produce for them Players get a specific Support Card during setup based on turn order with later players getting generally more useful abilities to compensate for early player advantage When a player uses a Support Card ability for the first time they may trade it in for a Support Card of their choice or keep it for a second use but they may only trade immediately after use Contains 19 x interchangeable planet sector tiles 6 x part game board frame 28 x outposts 16 x habitat rings (for upgrading outposts to starbases) 60 x starships 1 x Klingon battle cruiser 2 x special victory point cards 10 x support cards 25 x development cards 4 x building costs cards 95 x resource cards 2 x six sided star dice Rules & almanac
