## Description
Get ready for the Borg invasion in Star Trek: Star Realms – Borg: Invasion! This expansion introduces two brand-new game modes for those who enjoy a good group challenge. In Cooperative mode, you and your friends team up to face the dreaded Borg Collective. Unity is strength, and you'll need it to survive the Borg's relentless tactics, which involve devastating technologies for assimilating ships, impenetrable shields, and hordes of Drones to dominate everything. If you prefer a more direct confrontation, one player can take on the role of the Borg and attempt to assimilate everyone else. This expansion also introduces Gambits, powerful ability cards that can turn the tide at crucial moments, giving you that much-needed strategic advantage. Featuring the deck-building mechanics we already know and love from Star Realms, but with a sci-fi and tactical combat twist, Borg: Invasion promises twists and turns and plenty of tension. It's perfect for Star Trek fans and card game enthusiasts who enjoy strategy and confrontation, and don't mind a moderate language dependency (some translations might be helpful!).

## FAQ
### Do I need the base Star Realms game to play this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! Like most expansions, you'll need the base Star Realms game to use all the content from Borg: Invasion.

### How many players can enjoy this expansion?
This expansion is designed for 1 to 4 players, offering both cooperative challenges and direct confrontations.

### Does the game get harder with the Borgs?
The Borg are known for being relentless foes! This expansion adds a good level of challenge, especially in cooperative mode, but also offers an interesting experience when one player takes control of them.

### Do the "Gambits" cards change the game significantly?
Yes! Gambits are powerful ability cards that can be used at key moments to turn the tide in your favor. They add an extra layer of strategy and surprise.

### Do I need to translate the cards?
The expansion has a moderate language dependency. While playable without translation, having the cards translated (perhaps with a spreadsheet) can greatly help in understanding all the abilities and make the experience smoother.

### Is this expansion focused on combat or more strategic?
It's a mix! It maintains the deck-building foundation of Star Realms, but the new modes and the Borg's abilities bring a greater focus on tactical combat and strategic adaptation.
