Star Trek: Away Missions is a 1v1 miniatures skirmish game. The base game is Federation Vs Borg, but you can get expansions for Romulans and Klingons. The miniatures have a nice style to them and are coloured based on faction, so the are easy to identify and avoid the “sea of grey” issue that some miniatures games have (unless you have the skill and time to paint them yourself).
While almost every game on this type – including previous Star Trek games – are focused entirely on combat, this one is much more objective based. Combat is still important, especially as damage can disable specific abilities to hinder your opponent’s plans for their objectives – but a lot of scenarios are done in a way that combat isn’t very helpful, and some games may have no combat at all, which fits in with Star Trek really well.
It sounds like a well made Star Trek game with nice components and a “collectable card game” style deck system.
