About the game
What you do in a play session
In *Star Trek Deck Building Game: The Next Generation – The Next Phase*, you command the Enterprise across three distinct modes: free exploration, team alliances, or cooperative battles against the dreaded Borg. As captain, you choose whether to upgrade your ship, recruit skilled crew, or negotiate with alien civilizations. The game blends strategic deck-building with immersive theming from the classic series — ideal for those craving the 'boldly go' spirit while managing resources and space combat. Play solo, in teams, or cooperatively, with compatibility for other expansions in the line. Just note: it’s English-only, so non-fluent players might need translation help!
