Star Trek: Captain's Chair – To Boldly Go

Two iconic captains, two asymmetric decks, one long tactical duel.

A two-player Star Trek duel in which each captain commands an asymmetric deck matched to their personality, from Kirk's improvisation to Khan's obsession and a Pakled commander's blunt logic.

Who it's for

Star Trek fans and duel specialists who want a heavy card game with strong character asymmetry.

Not for you if…

You want something light or fast, or a two hour two-player card duel with heavy rules is not your evening.

Vibe's take

Dense and deliberate – long turns full of small levers, with the payoff being a match that genuinely feels like your captain against theirs.
