Starfleet
Lead an expedition and explore a galaxy full of dangers!
Congratulations on your promotion! As commander of a newly refurbished star cruiser, you will be responsible for managing your team. Although your crew members do not have much experience, they do not lack enthusiasm. The ship may have a few scratches, but they only testify to its resilience. There is a lot of work to be done and if you don't undertake it, another captain will. If you want to win and make history - get to work! Defend, negotiate and explore!
Starfleet is a strategy game based on developing the capabilities of your spaceship. During the game, you will take on the role of captains, tasked with managing a diverse crew and leading them through their missions. Utilise the skills of your subordinates, travel through a galaxy full of space pirates and constantly upgrade your ship to gain a better reputation and valuable rewards.
What it's all about.
- Each player starts the game with an identical cruiser and their own seven-man crew.
- In your turn, you choose one of two actions: activating a room or completing a mission.
- We can use crew members and artefacts collected throughout the game to activate a room on our ship. Depending on the type of room, we can thus move around the board, fight star pirates, repair the ship or upgrade it by acquiring new technologies.
- If we are on a planet with a mission card, we can choose to complete it. To do so, we must assign the appropriate crew members to specific rows on the mission card.
- The aim of the game is to earn as many points as possible for completed missions, collected technologies, defeated pirates and more.
Why you'll love this game.
- It's a fairly simple, yet engaging game that combines allocating workers with exploring the cosmos and building complex effects to secure as many points as possible.
- The gameplay is dynamic, it doesn't take long to plan the next moves and players always have some interesting options to use.
- With each playthrough, you learn the mechanics of the game and see more and more connections between its elements, making subsequent games even more strategic!
- At the end of the game, be sure to take a look at the epilogue in the instructions! The individual scoring results there have their own ending to the story!
