## Description
A contested sector of space reachable through a known wormhole has drawn the attention of powerful galactic factions. The Federation and the Klingon Empire, currently bound by a fragile alliance, have already built outposts there, but rumors of serious trouble force both sides to send investigative teams. In Star Trek: Frontiers each player commands a starship, recruits crew, earns experience and wields unique abilities to tackle the challenges of the Trek universe. The star map is assembled randomly from venture tiles, using the same exploration system first seen in Mage Knight, guaranteeing a fresh layout every game. The title provides competitive, cooperative and solo scenarios, letting you battle hostile vessels alongside other captains or uncover mysteries on your own. Mechanics blend deck/pool building, multi‑use cards, hex‑grid movement and tile placement, while each commander enjoys variable powers that shape strategy. The modular board and "Clix"‑style components bring space combat to life, and crew/resource management adds a light RPG flavor. Designed for 1‑4 players, playtime ranges from 60 to 240 minutes depending on the scenario, and a medium‑high complexity (weight 4.35) appeals to both Star Trek fans and lovers of deep exploration games. If you enjoy tactical decisions, unpredictable exploration and the feeling of piloting a starship, Frontiers delivers an immersive experience true to the franchise.
