Star Trek: The Next Generation Game of the Galaxies is a board game released in 1993 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Roll / Spin and Move.
The object of the game is for each player (playing a ST:TNG character) to distinguish himself in the task of establishing peace throughout the galaxies (sic). You attain this aim by collecting "Peace Treaties" from alien nations spread throughout six different galaxies. In the Lieutenant Rules (No Reading Required!), you race about the board collecting treaties. Transporter spaces act as tunnels across the board. The player with the most treaties collected wins. In the Captain Rules, each player gets one or two (depending on the number of players) photon torpedo cards, used to blast asteroid belts which block access to some planets. Treaties come in two colours, the rarer ones being more valuable. Random event cards complicate matters slightly.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Game of the Galaxies supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Star Trek: The Next Generation Game of the Galaxies is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Star Trek: The Next Generation Game of the Galaxies for ages 8 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.
Star Trek: The Next Generation Game of the Galaxies has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
