Last weekend, a couple friends and I tried out Die Sternenfahrer for the first time. The translation is woefully incomplete, and we found ourselves scratching our heads about a few rule situations. I also found that the plastic that was used for the ships in the German version is really brittle, and would break off bits as we attempted to put on the engine expansions! So I would recommend getting the English version instead. The game itself is really fun and fascinating. I especially love the sequencing and decision points of the encounter cards!

I've been mulling over trying the Starfarers of Catan. I actually bought this game as a gift for a friend, but we never got around to playing it. As far as I know, only the German version, "Die Sternenfahrer von Catan," is available. Here's a link to it: http://www.mayfairgames.com/mfg-cat/msp/0581-00.htm

I love starfarers. It's like someone took settlers and that old kid game cootie (with the cootie bugs that you have to assemble leg by leg and so forth) and mixed them together. I love games that give you toys to play with.
