About the game
What you do in a play session
In this expansion, danger manifests in two intense ways. You might have the misfortune of stumbling upon a Borg Cube while exploring a new system, or the chaos might kick off right from the setup, with the Borg invading the Alpha Quadrant via a Transwarp Hub. From there, it's a race against time: every turn, new Cubes can emerge, attempting to turn your worlds into part of the Collective.
This creates a moral and strategic dilemma worthy of a Star Trek episode: will you join forces with your rivals to contain this technological plague, or will you attempt to hunt the Borg individually to seize their tech and secure your own supremacy? The tension is relentless. The game shifts from being purely about who dominates the galaxy to being about who can survive assimilation. It's the kind of expansion that cranks up the risk management and diplomacy, turning standard sessions into epic battles for the survival of intelligent life. If you already love the base game, get ready for a layer of tension that will make your heart race at warp speed!
