Another board game I remember playing, that is also already in Tabletop Simulator. The only photo I originally took was of the “Phasers” card, some of you may spot why I found that particular card noticeable.
This is a deckbuilding game, not to be confused with Collectable/Trading Card Games where you build decks before the game, in this everyone starts with the same cards and purchases new cards from the middle of the table. You’ll draw 5 cards, use them in a turn, draw 5 more. When your deck runs out, you shuffle your discard pile to make a new deck. It’s a great mechanic used in a lot of games.
Most cards will give you XP which is sued to buy other cards. One thing that is more unique about this deck builder is that you have a flagship. Some of your cards will increase the ability of your flagship – with the goal of defeating ships from the space deck by battling them or via diplomacy (where you can use it as your new flagship). You can also battle other players, but I found it unrewarding and a pain.
It’s a really fun card game, and even has extra scenarios to play it in co-op against the Borg, or dealing with a Klingon Civil War.
