 Like other games in the "Catan" series, the objective of "Starfarers" is to score a number of Victory Points—in this game, fifteen Victory Points are required to win the game.Unlike other Catan games, however, the fixed board contains a "victory point" track that aids players in keeping track of the scores for all players (so long as it is sufficiently updated).Whereas "Settlers" is light in terms of equipment due to its modular structure, "Starfarers" requires a large amount of equipment to play.
