So, count down, blast off, and explore the far reaches of the galaxy with these space board games. And as a bonus, they’re even on sale!

CATAN: Starfarers

CATAN is the famous board game of exploration, claiming territory, and turning as many sheep into bricks as you possibly can. And now you can use the same mechanic to explore the farthest reaches of space. Explore the cosmos, engage in intergalactic diplomacy, upgrade your ship, and see what adventures await you in space.

CATAN: Starfarers is a board game in which 3-4 players race to explore and settle the unkown universe. This game re-implements the 1999 game “Starfarers of Catan” with an improved, variable board and redesigned components.

Terraforming Mars

In Terraforming Mars, players control one of the many corporations competing to be the first to make Mars habitable. Will you be the one to lead the way into a new era of humanity? Will you be able to make Mars into a planet people are able to colonize at all?

Do you have what it takes to terraform Mars and save the human race? Mars starts as a cold, dry rock. But you will melt ice caps to form oceans, introduce microorganisms to build an atmosphere, bring Deimos down to raise the temperature, and as the planet warms, plan the way for it to thrive.

Cosmolancer

Cosmolancer is a fast-paced tile placement game where you’re working to make a name for yourself as a deep-space freelance photographer. Even in our boring real-world space, it can be very pretty – so the photographs will basically take themselves. But be careful, you know who will try to sabotage you.

Space Base

In Space Base, you command your very own base in space. There, it’s your job to draft new ships into your fleet, patrol your sectors, and expand your influence and profit. It’s one of those games that make you think, “Why would bureaucracy be fun?” But then it is. And also, you’re on a spaceship. It’s easy to learn, easy to teach, and good for 2-5 players, ages 10 and up.

As the commodore of a Space Base, your job is to draft new ships into your fleet to work and patrol the 12 sectors under your watch. Use cargo vessels, mining ships, and deploy carriers to earn profits and expand your influence. Gain enough influence and you just might be promoted to Admiral! Only one Space Base commodore will be promoted to U.E.S. Admiral of the Fleet!

Astronauts wanted! Scientists say there is a mysterious ninth planet located at the edge of our solar system. Join this exciting space adventure to find out if the theories are true.

The Crew spans 50 missions that tell a thrilling story as you travel across the solar system. These missions can be played many times and take about 5-10 mins each. To achieve your mission, teamwork and communication will be essential — but in space, things can be more challenging than expected.

For All Mankind

For All Mankind is a fast-paced and fast-to-learn game of strategic space exploration… and domination. Players will need to gather, trade, and invest resources and do whatever it takes to keep ahead of the competition. Whatever it takes.

Build your empire across the ever-changing Solar System and do whatever it takes to stay ahead of the competition. All’s fair in interplanetary domination, but you would never double-cross a friend… right? Watch your back! You never know what’s lurking in the Espionage Deck.
