Game Components: Even the player dashboards are given thematic touches.

While some encounters might be peaceful, eventually combat will happen. Armed with just their home world, some tech, and a few ships, players will explore the galaxy, seeking to extend their reach.Įventually players will learn newer and better tech, discover planets ripe for colonization, and finally meet each other. Players will start off the game as a fledgling civilization of one of the 3 Star Trek powerhouses: Federation, Klingon or Romulan. It’s a style of game that has been around for a long time and garnered many fans. If you aren’t familiar with the genre, 4x stands for: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate.
