About the game
Star Trek HeroClix: Tactics 3 puts you in command of starships from the Star Trek universe, including such factions as the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, the Dominion, Ferengi, and Vulcans. Tactics 3 adds four new factions: the Bajorans, the Kazon, Species 8472, and the Borg. Tactics 1, 2, and 3 are intended as a standalone game system, 100% compatible with the HeroClix core rules system. So even though Tactics operates by the same rules and Powers and Abilities card that other HeroClix miniature games are played with, it exists outside of the Modern and Golden Age tournament environments and is played as its own game. (e.g., no Spiderman vs. USS Enterprise. There's Star Trek HeroClix: Away Team for that.) Tactics 3 features 28 pre-painted ships and will be available for sale in both a 4-ship starter product and single-figure blind boosters.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Star Trek HeroClix: Tactics III for ages 14 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 Trek HeroClix: Tactics III has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game.
