Star Trek Deck Building Game The Star Trek Deck Building Game Series is a " Deck Building " card game series produced by Bandai , with its initial release planned for . Initial plans were to produce expansions that would cover all the televised and film versions on " Star Trek " including the 2009 movie and its sequels . Unlike collectible card games ( CCGs ) , this is a deck building game ( DBG ) in which all the components are included in the base set ( no need to buy expansion packs to collect the whole set ) . Gameplay is set for two to five players age 13 and up , with an estimated gameplay time of 45 minutes . Only three editions of the game have been released , each with their own unique cards and game scenarios . The cards in each edition carry common card back designs , so the various editions can be mixed and matched to allow for expanded gameplay . In 2014 , Bandai sent a public note communicating that they were not planning to produce any additional expansions , seemingly having abandoned the game indefinitely . The Next Generation | Premiere Edition . The Next Generation | Premiere Edition Set includes a 28 page rulebook , three hundred cards and five twenty - sided dice ( used as damage counters ) . Game play . The included rulebook allows for three different play scenarios . Each scenario uses certain common cards : Each scenario also uses one of the three other included sets of cards as follows : Exploration Scenario . Uses the 30 Gold - bordered " Exploration " Space cards . This is the basic " explore strange new worlds " game scenario , suggested for new players . First player to earn 400 or more " Mission Points " wins . Borg Invasion Scenario . Uses the 30 Green - bordered " Borg Invasion " Space cards and the 30 " Borg " Cards . This is the multi - player cooperative scenario . All players work as a team to survive an invasion of the Borg Collective . Klingon Civil War Scenario . Uses the 30 Red - bordered " Klingon Civil War " Space cards . This is the two - on - two team scenario reenacting the Klingon Civil War ; each team must gather allies to prove to the Arbiter ( Jean - Luc Picard ) that they can lead the Klingon Empire by completing the " Arbiter ' s Mission " of earning 200 or more " Mission Points " and having at least 2 more " Ally Starships " than the competitors ' team . The Next Generation | Next Phase Edition . The first full " expansion " is a complete second set of TNG game cards called " The Next Generation | Next Phase Edition " . This is a " stand - alone " expansion of 300 additional cards , 5 more 20 - sided dice and its own rulebook with three scenarios : another " free - for - all " Exploration scenario , a new " Romulan Reunification " scenario for multiple - player teams , and a new " Borg Invasion II " scenario featuring the Borg Queen .
