While not REALLY a Star Trek game (directly) Starship Captains is a lot of fun. Although after playing it, it thematically feels a bit more like The Orville. I’d play that over anything on this list, TBH.

In reply to Christopher.

Thank you for reading.

Under the section titled “Creature Power Discs” the first sentence says “Each player has 6 Creature Power Discs, one for each animal and their habitat.” I would interpret that as you can only claim one area per animal type. If you’ve used them differently, I’m curious how that changes the gameplay, if at all. Do you think it makes it better?

Fleet Captains is basically star trek in a box and the only star trek game I’ve played where the theme shines through and feels likecstar trek. Frontiers is just MK with a space theme, could have been Buck Rodgers, wouldn’t have changed the game much at all. It certainly doesn’t give me that Star Trek vibe a game should if it’s using a beloved IP. Just my 2 cents….

Looking through the rules, it doesn’t say that you can only claim one area per animal type. That might be why they didn’t put different types on the tokens.

I think Fleet captains doesnt hold up to modern Game Design. It has a lot of promise, but ultimately fails. It is just too random, clonky and in the end just a points Race and Not an epic Exploration of the galaxy.

I would have expected Star trek frontiers to appear in this list, since it is bases on the beloved mager Knight system. I think it is well designed, but no fun at all just like MK.

I am surprised to find the ccg Ranking that high. I used to own a lot of it. Loves the stills. But Even back in 1994 we knew it was Not a good or Balanced Game. E.g. Genetronic replicator, Red alert and the Qs tent System were Game breaking. I have played 20 or so ccgs and it is by far the worst. Even most players I played with agreed. We played it only because of the Theme.

I am curious: why Do you think it is fun?

In reply to Dr. D. It's worthy for sure. There is simple AI and difficulty is adjustable (might have to be more difficult with leaders). Also there is free solo campaign available from Czech Games website.

Nice list! I think Conan by Monolith deserves a nod as well. It does a great job of capturing the sword and sorcery spirit of the original stories.

In reply to Michael. Absolutely! It has a great range of civilizations to play, has all the rules consolidated, and includes the trade route. If you enjoy, add the other options when you tire of the new civs.
