First Time Starfleet Captain

3/6/2015

0 Comments

 
Not my first choice for a game, but hubby is a pretty big Star Trek fan so when he heard about Starfleet Captains, he had to have it. We pulled it out for the first time tonight and had a go at it. 
Picture
I took up Starfleet while he commanded the Klingons. I have no idea what was really going on on that side, his missions were pretty much all secret, but while he was building outposts, I was resolving missions left, right and centre. By round three, the Klingons only had one way to keep me from winning - they needed to take out the USS Enterprise. 
Picture
Well, between the lack of engine power and some deadly water that trapped two of his ships, the Klingons stood no chance. By the time his turn ended, it didn't matter how I used my actions, I had easy access to 4 victory points when I only needed 2. I sailed that Enterprise all the way to victory, carrying extra cargo and an extra point!
Picture
While I may not be a huge Star Trek fan, even I felt it was fitting to have the Enterprise take the winning points!

Not a bad two player game. Even though the box says that you can play up to four players, it's in teams of two, and I don't know how I feel about commanding as a team. I'm sure we'll be introducing the game to a friend or two soon enough so maybe I can still be won over in sharing victory. 

What can I say? Even quiet little me can get pretty competitive.
