About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand your galactic battles in Star Trek: Attack Wing with the Borg Sphere 4270 expansion pack! This addition brings the feared Borg spheres to the table, ships that served as scouts, long-range tactical vectors, or even as auxiliaries within the imposing Borg Cubes. Approximately 600 meters in diameter and capable of housing an entire Intrepid-class starship within, these spheres are a formidable threat. Each sphere boasts a crew of 11,000 Borg drones, ready to assimilate anyone who crosses their path. This expansion is part of the fourth wave of additions for the base game, promising to bring new dynamics and challenges for fans of the Star Trek universe. The Action Queue mechanic ensures planning is key, while Dice Rolling adds that dose of unpredictability every good space battle needs. Point to Point Movement simulates strategic navigation through space, and Simultaneous Action Selection can lead to unexpected twists. And of course, Variable Player Powers ensure that each faction or ship has its unique characteristics, making every game session distinct. If you enjoy miniatures and the science fiction of Star Trek, this expansion is a must-have to add more complexity and threats to your tabletop.
