This is amazing! I loved this game as a kid and it’s still in the cupboard and now I can play with my own kid long after the VCR has bit the dust. Thank you!!
WWOR in New York. Although the show was over. Fuck WPIX. And fuck The WB, lame unpopular "Friends"-watching non-Warner Bros.-fucking network that was unpopular compared to more Warner Bros.ish UPN.
You move around the board (shaped like the Enterprise-D) collecting isolinear chips to attach to your tricorder to give you access to different areas of the ship to progress, along the way picking up computer access or 'Bij' cards to help/hinder your progress. Once you have all 5 you make your way to the bridge and pick up one of 4 Bridge tokens, you have a 50% chance of stunning Kavok and winning the game, if not, someone else gets their chance.
I fled America, anticipating war or else widespread political violence. I don't have the courage to stay and fight what I see coming. Kavok's words at 50:10 have been ever present in my mind, driving my guilt. I *am* a coward. I have left my home to burn and abandoned everyone I love. 😭
When I played this game back in my childhood with my family in the mid 1990s and when that menacing music starts playing at 50:55 and only 4 minutes 46 seconds left to play and attempt to stun Kavok with your Phaser on the Bridge of the Enterprise D at that time, that really scared the shit out of me.
"The Enterprise is empty. Also, the Enterprise is empty. We're running really behind but the Enterprise is empty. Did I mention the Enterprise is empty? 'Cause it is."

@@randyranderson690 I was wondering that myself. It would’ve been cool if they had a good ending coming after so if you won the game you could watch that
Ah, yes Decipher, the creator of both the Star Treck and the best Star Wars Trading Card Games. Also CBS (Continuing Bastards Society) why did you have to kill Stage 9? Experience Beige!
I love the insults from this game. Would some Worthy Hyoo-mon please type out -in phonetic- “Your ship is a garbage scow!” I find it’s the best-remembered insult of the game... although the Klingon phonetic of “this computer has more low-level bugs than Antares Three” is a good one
and I like the fact that you don't have to have other players like other board games. it can be just you against Kavok! and he's talking to you each time...
