About the game
In Star Trek: Captain's Chair, you go head-to-head against an opponent, each stepping into the shoes of an iconic leader from across the history of the Star Trek galaxy. Command ships, crew, and away teams, while you manage resources and alliances! Star Trek: Captain's Chair – To Boldly Go is a new game that can be played on its own or combined with Star Trek: Captain's Chair to create even more captain competitions. With To Boldly Go, you can play as James T. Kirk, Khan Noonien Singh, Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery, Rebner, the Pakled Commander from Star Trek: Lower Decks, Jonathan Archer and Soval from 'Star Trek: Enterprise. Each of the six captains comes with a unique, asymmetric deck of cards that matches that leader's personality, abilities, allies, and assets. These decks can be expanded with cards available to both players, cards representing the people, items, planets, and events that characters encounter in iconic storylines. Each deck creates different strategic directions based on which common cards are available and what strategy your opponent deploys. Prefer to fly solo? Take on the galaxy with a challenging single-player mode built to test your skill and strategy! True to Star Trek, antagonism will not win every game. You will need to pursue diplomacy, exploration, and science, with different captains excelling at different paths. With hundreds of unique, deeply thematic cards, you'll want to explore the galaxy again and again. The chair is yours, captain! —description from the publisher
