In a flash, two Starfarers from the Catan space fleet have been thrown through a mysterious wormhole into an unknown galaxy. Lost, dazed and unable to find their way home, and with limited resources, the brave explorers face a seemingly hopeless situation, until they meet four peaceful alien races. These friendly aliens offer them limited aid and will guide them home if they can meet the high standards required for entrance into the Galactic Advisory Council.
Take the role of a Starfarer! Daringly brave the unknown reaches of space! Explore and colonize new worlds, strike vital trade agreements and perform missions of mercy, while improving and preparing your Starship for the journey home. If you work hard and choose your course carefully and vigorously, you will attain membership in the Council and learn the way home!
Beware! Not every alien in the galaxy will look upon you with friendliness. Dastardly space pirates desire your wealth and influence. Their raids are merciless, and their strength is growing! Be careful as you speed through the unknown! Only a careful balance of colonization and trade, bravery and caution, will lead you and your crew home.
Lost in the depths of space? Not a problem for a real Starfarer! Activate your boosters for an adventure of space discovery!

Starship Catan
By Jill Sidoti
My son and I really enjoyed playing Starfarers of Catan and were excited to find this 2-player version of the game. The game itself is similar to Starfarers and is not too long to play (around an hour). The rules are fairly easy to pick up, although we were glad to have the sample game to play through the first time. We were at a bit of a loss as to what to do with the Trade Goods, since we always seemed to have too many of them and decided to resurrect a rule from the original Starfarers game that allows players to trade in 2 Trade Goods for 1 of any other resource. Starfarers is still the better game but if you only have 2 players, Starship is a good substitute.

Great fun for two players
By Craig Maloney
This is a lot of fun for two players. Generally most games I've found require at least 3-5 players, and have stripped-down, not-quite-as-fun rules for two players. This game is designed well for two players. There is no combat between the players, only cooperative and competitive play. The individual boards and various pieces make it quite easy to keep track of the various resources in the game. The game has a tutorial that seems confusing at first, but quickly gets you up to speed on how to play the game.A word of warning: The game says it's around 1-2 hours, but I honestly think that unless you're extremely competitive to get the victory points, the game will take much longer than that. That would be my only complaint: you need seriously competitive players to make the game go by quicker.Overall, a fun and involved game. I can see my wife and I playing this game a lot.

By Antonia C. Maurer
This game is a great two player adaptation of a Catan style game. Way better than the card game. Comes with a really easy start-up guide. Can't say enough about it.
