With talk about missions to Mars and other outer worldly exploration trips coming to light, the 'Deep Space Settlers' is a settler space game that's quite timely. Although a concept as of right now, 'Deep Space Settlers' draws inspiration from the wildly popular Settlers of Catan board game to enable players to explore and settle in the galaxy.
'Deep Space Settlers' is the design work of Amy Wang in collaboration with Fuzzy Wobble and draws inspiration from the Settlers of Catan Seafarers expansion pack. The design of the space game is inherently modern and features a number of tactile pieces that are rather otherworldly in aesthetic to really enhance the overall feel that players are conquering celestial bodies.
