Star Trek : The Final Frontier Star Trek : The Final Frontier is a board game produced for the UK market by BMI , a subsidiary of Toys & Games Limited in . The game is for two to six players , and was produced in two versions . It is presumed that Version 1 ( pictured in images 1 and 3 below , with the cruder graphics ) was produced before Version 2 ( as pictured in images 2 and 4 below ) , which is difficult to verify without owning both versions of the game , as they both have a 1992 copyright on them . However , upon closer examination , the main differences seem to be mainly cosmetic , focusing mainly on graphic changes to the various game components and fixing of spelling and reference errors . For example , references on game cards to " Romulons " , " Ohora " and " Scottie " in V1 are corrected to " Romulan s " , " Uhura " , and " Scotty " in V2 . None of these changes alter gameplay in any notable way , so both editions of the game are functionally identical . Game components . The V1 parts list is as follows : † " In V2 , these pieces are replaced by " 6 Playing Pieces " . " Gameplay . The object of the game is to reach four assigned destination planet s and return to Earth before your opponents . The game board ( which is a four - piece board put together jigsaw puzzle style ) depicts a " Solar Chart " with eleven planets ( including Earth ) , ten of which are destinations the players must reach . Some of the planets are incorrectly named , such as " Klingon " instead of Qo ' noS and " Ferengal " instead of Ferenginar . In addition , some of the planets and graphics featured in the game are from the TNG era , even though the game itself is supposed to be TOS - based . ( Indeed , gameplay is very similar to the original Ideal " Star Trek " Game and the later Milton Bradley - based " Star Trek " Game . ) Players choose a " ship " ( in V1 , a marker in one of six colors with the TNG combadge graphic and the legend " USS " ENTERPRISE " " ; in V2 a standard plastic pawn ) and place it on Earth on the game board . The " Mission Pack " Deck ( aka the Destination Deck , with pictures of Kirk and Spock on the backs in both versions ) is shuffled and four cards are dealt to each player ( any duplicate cards are returned to the deck and re - drawn until each of the four cards have a different destination ) . Players then roll the six - sided die to determine play order and to move around the board . Landing on a planet ( not necessarily by exact count ) that is on one of the player ' s destinations allows that player to discard the Mission Pack card with that planet ' s name . The player then needs to roll an odd number ( 1 , 3 or 5 ) to " re - launch " their " ship " into the " spacelanes " . Landing on special spaces ( those with a TNG combadge graphic in V1 or a five - pointed star in V2 ) requires the player to draw a card from the " Star Trek " Deck ( In V1 , cards having the TNG combadge graphic and the legend " USS " ENTERPRISE " " on the back ; in V2 , cards having a white five - pointed star and the legend " " STAR TREK " CARDS " on a blue background on the back ) which may help or hinder their progress . Landing on a black space ( a " Black Hole " ) lets the player ' s left - hand opponent move you to any other " Black Hole " space on the board ( thus acting more like wormhole s than Black Holes ) , which again may help or hinder the player in their game play . Once a player has reached their fourth destination , they must return to Earth ( this time by EXACT COUNT ) to win the game .
