This is a game for 3 to 6 players. The video sets you up with a scenario: you are a member of a repair crew on the Enterprise when it gets hijacked by a rogue Klingon. You have one hour to move around the board and obtain isolinear chips, a phaser, and bridge access, with the goal of overpowering the Klingon before he reaches his homeworld and rekindles war between Klingons and the Federation. In the meanwhile, the tape runs in the background, functioning as both a timer and a "viewscreen" on which the Klingon appears. He taunts you, and puts many setbacks in your way. Fast play is vital in order to win!

I'm a big Star Trek fan and really enjoyed this game, but even my non-fan friends had fun with it too. The fast pace makes it exciting, and since there are many variables (gameplay can be changed by the number of players, what card you draw, or what you get on the spinner) the game will never play the same way twice. Plus, it comes with sticker sheets of communicators and pips that you can wear!

I owned a copy of this game during my childhood. But as it was with most board games in my house, we lost the pieces, and eventually what was left of the game was thrown away. I just purchased this game and it is as good as a remember it. Granted, I am a big Star Trek nerd. I would overwhelmingly recommend this game to any Star Trek fan who still owns a VCR.
