Catan: Starfarers Duel

About this board game

Catan: Starfarers Duel is a two-player space adventure with an approximately 75-minute play time, released in 2023. Explore the vastness of space, fly to distant planets, and compete to develop your presence among the stars.

Your journey combines exploration with commerce and expansion. Buy and sell resources, found colonies, and establish trade relations as you work to advance your spacefaring ambitions. Every decision helps shape your approach to the challenges ahead.

Pirates pose an ongoing threat, bringing the possibility of mischief to your plans. You may also choose to arm your spaceship so it is in good shape against these dangers, adding another consideration as you explore and build.

• Explore distant planets across the vastness of space.
• Buy and sell resources to support your plans.
• Found colonies and establish trade relations.
• Watch for pirates and prepare your spaceship against threats.
• Use five entry missions and a variable setup for a flexible introduction and changing starts.

Extensively revised from 2001’s Starship Catan, Catan: Starfarers Duel presents this space setting in a revised form. The five entry missions offer a guided way into the game, while the variable setup helps make each new duel distinct.

Whether you are focused on trading, establishing colonies, or staying ready for pirate trouble, this head-to-head journey gives two players a broad space to explore and develop. Set out for distant planets and see how your plans unfold among the stars.
