I want to play a game of Starfarers of Catan. It’s fun. You get to settle strange planets in an odd little galaxy, trade with alien races, fight space pirates, play chicken with wormholes, and rescue diplomatic envoys. Recognizable similarities to Settlers of Catan. Hit me up if this interests you. Takes 3 or 4 players.
depends
is the game electronique and done over the net, or does it involve dice and cardboard? 🙂

Re: depends
More like dice and cardboard, though to be pedantic, randomization is accomplished through shaking these little plastic rocketship thingies, and see what drops into a clear plastic bottom bit. It’s pretty cool, and could ‘easily’ be computerized, though much of its glory would thus be lost. =)
I love Starfarers! All my friends are Settlers purists, though, so we don’t play it often. I especially like the artwork and components.
I like starfarers cuz it’s pretty. I like settlers because more people know it. I like other games much, much more from a mechanics standpoint. They both suffer from situations where it’s easy to fall irrecoverably behind due to early game maneuverings, and there are rarely upsets.
This is part of why puerto rico is clearly the superior game 😉
