Did you know there's a Star Trek version of Settlers of Catan? Did you also know Wil Wheaton and Jeri Ryan played it together? Behold. ( youtu.be )

It’s one of the better variations of Catan, too, using the same rules as the Helpers of Catan scenarios expansion.

I got a copy for my dad a few years before he passed. He mostly enjoyed games like Trivia Pursuit, but the Trek theme did draw him in to this version of Catan.

Yes and yes. The best part is when they sync up in the ship attack even though they've never been on set together before.

I love that game

What’s “Settlers of Cathan”?

Hillock , 8 months ago

I am slightly annoyed that they didn't use the Starfarers of Catan as the base for this game. Would have made more sense.

But I suppose Starfarers just isn't as popular so that's why I am only slightly annoyed.

I have this! Still haven’t played it though.

guyrocket , 8 months ago

I want it. And I want to play it.

Is there a board game zine here anywhere?

The_Picard_Maneuver , 8 months ago

I haven’t seen one, but there’s bound to be.

DosDude , 8 months ago

You can make it. I’m sure people will join

StillPaisleyCat , 8 months ago

There are a couple of board game communities. At least one is very anti-Catan.

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

Well when you inviting me over, buddy?

The_Picard_Maneuver , 8 months ago

It’s gotta happen

We like you starmets, we just don't like you enough to have you know our address or meet you unaccompanied. We like you from a distance.

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

Don’t like me enough to spell my name right 🥺

roguetrick , 8 months ago

I don't like anyone enough to do that.

Benelaus , 8 months ago

You should give it a try. It’s actually the only version of Catan that I own. The support cards change thing in a significant way

ulkesh , 8 months ago

I watched all of the TableTop series. It’s what helped me gain an obsession of board games.

michaelgemar , 8 months ago

@ulkesh @startrek It’s a terrific series, and Wheaton is such a great host.

RagnarokOnline , 8 months ago

TableTop was my jam. Any episode from season 1 is mental.

Facebones , 8 months ago

I’m not much for watching other people play games but I loved Tabletop so much. Probably because they always edited to explain all the nonsense going on lol

You should check out No Rolls Barred on youtube

Facebones , 8 months ago

I’m sick and distracting myself with Jedi Survivor, but I subbed so I’ll remember to check it out. Thanks for the rec!

someguy3 , 8 months ago

The support cards are a great addition to the game. You can get them for normal Catan if you want, they’re called “Helpers of Catan”.

nocturne213 , 8 months ago

Sadly this version is OOP, but i did manage to get a demo for my game shop before that happened. I need to find more Trekkies to play it with me.

junezephier , 8 months ago

My parents have this version! it actually has a few small improvements to the base game that modify the robber for the better. My memory is fuzzy of how it’s different, but i remember us liking it more :p

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

I watched this video years ago but I don’t remember a damned thing about it. Re-watching it again as I plan my 9th Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough. I have a fucking problem.

JoMiran , 8 months ago

It’s not really a problem. Once you watch the video again you’ll remember just fine. Enjoy your BG3 run

teft , 8 months ago

I’m on my 6th or 7th playthrough. 270 hours in and I still keep finding stuff. Today I found a secret cave in Underdark with Kuatoa worshipping a red cap. Game of the year for sure.

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

Well, that’s something for me to keep an eye out for on the next run. Think i’m going to do a Githyanki Monk run and, for the first time, have Lae’Zel in my party. I’ma be real… I fucking hate her. She’s just a bitch. First playthrough I was doing Dark Urge and found her in the cage. Said she needed to say please. She said no so I left her there. Every playthrough after that I’ve executed her myself for crimes of being unbearable and also having good armor for Shadowheart.

teft , 8 months ago

Yeah Laezel is 50% of the time murdered by me or I let shadow heart do it when laezel finds out we have the artifact.

You should let her live once just to watch shadow heart murder her. It’s cathartic.

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

Then the gith playthrough will wait. Next up will be watching Shadowheart goomba stomp Zel, helping Astarion for the first time ever, being vaguely an asshole with okayish intentions, and raw dogging the dream guardian.

milkisklim , 8 months ago

How are you on your 9th run?! I am a hundred plus hours in and I still haven’t finished my first. Do you knowingly limit which quests you choose?

I’ve made peace with the fact I am missing some quests, but I feel there’s still so much to do before finishing act 3.

(My next run will be an all owl bears)

Stamets OP , 8 months ago

To be fair, I haven’t finished any of them. I get dangerously close, towards the end of Act 3, and then back off and start over. Still have the save files of all of those characters, however. That being said I’ve got over 300 hours in it now. A good chunk of the month I couldn’t walk so I had literally nothing to do other than play Baldurs Gate. That helped a lot.
