Star Trek Rivals is a simple card game using images from Star Trek 09. Each card has a number on each side. You and your opponent take turns placing one of your five cards in a 3×3 grin. The aim is to place the card down in a way so that the numbers on your card face a lower number on an opponent’s card, you get 1 point each time you do this.
The idea for this game wasn’t made for this, though. This is a rip-off of a minigame called Triple Triad that originated from Final Fantasy VIII (and has been in multiple games since), so I played one of those to give the game a go. It’s a simple game, but can be fun. Competing against someone who had paid for better cards probably isn’t fun, though.

Was my favorite game to play on the bus home from school. Hated when the servers went down.
Wow. Star Trek Rivals’ inspiration is… pretty blatant. I kinda low-key love how brazen it is :laughing:
I mean, if you have to rip off an awful game like Final Fantasy VIII, might as well take the one redeeming thing about it.
