About the game
Star Trek: Space Hunt is a real-time, hidden movement game that uses the Captain Sonar system, for 2-4 players that demands intense coordination and sharp deduction. Players are divided into two opposing crews, each commanding iconic starships from across the franchise’s history with each vessel featuring unique builds for asymmetric gameplay. The game covers several generations of the saga, allowing players to step into the roles of legendary duos such as Captain Kirk and Spock, Captain Picard and Data, or even the formidable Khan and Joachim. —description from the publisher
