Very fast shipping & great product. This game is awesome !

Great game! It's a Star Trek retheme of Mage Knight, one of the most well reviewed games on the market. If you liek Trek you'll love it! If you really LOVE Trek you may have some issues. I'll explain. Pros: +So much fun! +Great solo experience +Very strategic without dice +Mage Knight's expansions are a big part of the fun, and this game doesn't have those expansions... yet. Cons: -Rulebook is a beast! Give yourself LOTS of time to learn the rules. -Very tough to teach -Theme issues. For instance, Picard will be blowing away entire civilizations because it makes the most sense. You'll hire villainous crew members to your heroic ship and vice versa -Takes up more table space than I thought (mitigated by playing solo) Final thoughts: It's a blast to play. Worth the money? I don't know. That's going to be very subjective. It was my first heavy game and I enjoyed it very much. It was the first rulebook I really struggled to get through, but it was definitely worth it. I only play it solo, as I don't even want to deal with teaching this to my group. Maybe they'll show interest someday. But I felt like this was two solid sittings before I personally got all the rules down. I should mention many Trek fans I've spoken to about the game are disappointed with how the theme gets toyed with. For me, this is a non issue hence why it gets 5 stars for me. I like Trek a lot but I don't hold it in such reverence that the characters and ideas around it can't be toyed with. I was impressed at the Next Generation/DS9 era characters involved. But there are problems where you'll hire a "bad guy" like Lore to the Enterprise because he's simply the best crew member available to you at that time. Picard might have to level a starbase. Again these things dont bother me but they may bother you. For many hardcore trek fans, the theme issues are a dealbreaker. For me, this is a magical game and it's in my top 5 EVER.

Todo correcto

Although some of our group feel the federation players wouldn't resort to blowing up stations or decimating planets this is a great game. The mechanics are similar to Mage Knight as this game was based on Mage Knight. The game generally consists of you puzzling how to use your current hand of cards most effectivley for the current location and situation as well as you trying to level up by destroying romulan ships, attacking then controlling dominion and romulan starbases or beaming down to 3 different classes of planets all of which have varying difficulties and rewards. Once you've progressed and leveled up you should be powerful enough to take on the end game baddy - The Borg. The great thing about the game is that it includes co-operative, competitive and solo scenarios, however please be aware the only 4 player game we played was a full 6 round scenario which took just under 8 hours to complete, However as we become more familiar with the rules I expect that time to decrease. Also there are blitz / quick scenarios which decrease the playing time.
