Beam down with Kirk, Spock, Bones and Uhura, the crew of the 2009 Star Trek movie, in a cooperative board game against the game itself. The Federation has received a petition for membership from a planet, and the Enterprise is sent to assess it. On arrival you find a Klingon battle cruiser in orbit, a civil war about to break out and a world that is suddenly reconsidering its application. Your mission has three parts: defuse the civil war, deal with the Klingon threat and win the planet over for the Federation. You have about thirty days, roughly thirty turns, before a Klingon battle fleet gets involved. A 2011 game for one to four, around an hour.

Who it's for

You and your crew like Star Trek and want a cooperative mission with a clear time limit.

Not for you if…

You want a fresh competitive game or you dislike cooperative play. This one is a team against the game.

Vibe's take

Teamwork with a ticking clock. You split up for away missions, trade roles and watch the thirty-day countdown shrink while your three goals pull against one another.
