Even if you are not a Trekkie, the new releases for Star Trek games have been huge and well worth checking out! Now if you are a Trekkie... then you really need to see some of the games!
Miniature
Heroclix by Wizkids, created Star Trek: Tactics! The game is... wait for it... Heroclix! When you open the starter box you get the Heroclix 2011 Core Rulebook, and Powers and Abilities Card. The Starter also comes with 4 fully painted miniatures: USS Enterprise -A, USS Rhode Island, IKS Rotarran, and IKS Bortas.
Each ship comes with a stat card which gives you the Trekkie abilities to correspond with the super hero powers.
The starter also comes with 2 double sided maps, each one with a very different effect on the battle.
Deck Building Game
Star Trek The Next Generation deck building game was recently released by Bandai. In the true deck building craze... which if you don't know what these are, then you need to check out some greats like Dominion and Thunderstone, you start with a basic hand and then acquire cards to build your deck Back to Star Trek TNG deck build though, the game offers some great diversity right out of the box.
There are 3 different versions of the game: Exploration: a free for all scenario, Borg Invasion: a cooperative scenario, and Klingon Civil War: a 2 vs 2 team scenario. The game has 300 cards and can be played with 2 to 5 players. Oh, and if you come in, we do have some really cool promo Jean-Luc Picard cards!
