Description
Star Trek is a deck building game with a couple of interesting
twists.  The most significant twist is
that there are three different ways to play. 
The first approach is every player for themselves with the first to
reach 400 points wins the game.  The
second approach is a partnership game called the Klingon Civil War Scenario.  A special set of 25 cards are introduced into
the Space Deck to facilitate this two-on-two battle.  The third approach is called the Borg
Invasion which utilizes 25 special cards in the Space Deck to turn the game
into a cooperative game with players focused on defeating the Borg.
Unlike the TV series or
the movies, players start with a relatively ordinary starship and crew.  Players must manage their cards to build an
all-star cast of characters from The Next Generation.  Player can use diplomacy to gain a faster and
a more powerful starship, or they can just decide to fight and defeat those
other ships to collect the points.  In
any case there are missions to be accomplished, events to defeat, and battles
to be won.  Some battles involve ships
encountered in space, some involve other players but all lead to the final
frontier and victory among the stars.
