Who it's for
Star Trek fans who want a genuine 4X experience capturing the spirit of different factions.
Not for you if…
You need 3+ players always. Best at 3; fewer feels incomplete, and expansions are needed for more.
Vibe's take
Trek authentic, expanding galaxy, faction asymmetry, 4X exploration, diplomatic options
About this game
