Star Trek Ascendancy

Product Review (submitted on November 20, 2016):

Star Trek Ascendancy is the first game based on the Star Trek license I've felt actually captured the feel and theme of the series since Star Fleet Battles long ago. Exploration, research, combat - it's all there and more. Every game is unique and the galaxy unfolds differently each time. The only thing lacking in my mind is the absence of major character drama. No away teams or boarding parties. But that's a minor complain since the rest of the game's mechanics are so well done. This game is highly recommended to any Star Trek fans looking for a good board game based on the license. Will only get better with more factions being introduced via expansions (base game comes with Romulan, Klingon, and of course Federation).
