About the game
Federation Commander has two base games: Klingon Border (which is the same as Federation Commander: Academy + Graduation) and Romulan Border. When placed together, you have ships for the United Federation of Planets and the four major empires that surround them. If you already have Romulan Border and want to add the Klingon and Kzintis, instead of buying Klingon Border (or Academy + Graduation), you can buy this discounted package that includes the non-duplicated parts of Klingon Border, such as the counters, ship cards, reference cards, and a special ship/scenario book. This package does not include the hard-mounted maps, the box, marker, dice.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Federation Commander: Klingon Space for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.

The catalogue lists Federation Commander: Klingon Space as an expansion for Federation Commander: Romulan Border.
