Board is set up in view of a television/VCR and players watch a videotape of simulated action and narration filmed on the set of the Star Trek series. Players assume the roles of the few remaining onboard crewmembers of the U.S.S. Enterprise, which is docked for repairs. The players (watching the tape) see a renegade Klingon (named KAVOK) hijak the ship with only themselves aboard with him. He periodically appears on the television screen (which is a simulation of different communication view screens aboard the ship) and talks to the players during the game. KAVOK's intention is to use the Federation ship to to attack the Klingon Empire and instigate a Federation/Klingon war. He also plans to gloriously die in battle along with the remaining crew. KAVOK will create setbacks and obstacles for the players as they attempt to gain access to the bridge and regain control of the ship. The journey to the Klingon Empire takes 60 minutes of real time game-playing (displayed on screen). They play against the clock, and if nobody wins, they all lose. Play consists of rolling the die, moving around the board (which represents the Enterprise), drawing cards and interacting with the video of KAVOK until they reach the bridge and win, or the time expires and they lose.
Players must navigate their way to each of the four planets by correctly answering questions from each of the five categories, obtaining four citations and returning to STARFLEET(tm) Command completely intact and fully functional. The first player to meet these requirements wins the game and is appointed the rank of Admiral.
Based on the Star Trek TNG First Contact movie. Five Rings Publishing Group released the game in a Federation and Borg starter pack. Some of the expansions that were planned included a multiplayer system, new dice for preexisting factions, plus new Klingon and Romulan starters which featured cloaking devices. Players take the role of the U.S.S. Enterprise or a Borg sphere. The dice represent various aspects of your ship: weapons, movement capabilities, shields, damage control, special abilities, special orders and heroic personalities. Each turn, you allocate power from your ship to power up or repair the systems on your ship, then move your ship or take special actions. You attack your opponent with Phasers or torpedoes and win the game by reducing their Warp Core Integrity to zero.
