Questions and answers
The catalogue lists Star Fleet Battles: Captain's Rulebook for ages 12 and up.

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.
Star Fleet Battles: Captain's Rulebook belongs to these categories: Wargame, Movies / TV / Radio theme, and Science Fiction. Its main mechanics are Hexagon Grid. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Star Fleet Battles: Captain's Rulebook are: Stephen V. Cole. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers. Designer pages on MeepleRules collect other titles by the same designers, which helps when you enjoy a game and want to find similar ones.
The catalogue lists Star Fleet Battles: Captain's Rulebook as an expansion for Star Fleet Battles (Commander's Edition). Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Star Fleet Battles (Commander's Edition) to use it. Check that your edition of Star Fleet Battles (Commander's Edition) is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
