Description

In Star Trek: The Adventure Game, you're at the helm of a starship, exploring the vast unknown reaches of space, seeking to expand your intergalactic influence. As either the United Federation of Planets or the Klingon Empire, you'll navigate the complexities of diplomacy and conquest, all while adhering to the constraints of the Organian Treaty, which prohibits outright war between the two powers. With the ability to play solo or against an opponent, this game offers a unique experience, whether you're flying solo or competing against a friend. As you journey through the cosmos, you'll encounter a myriad of challenges and opportunities, from discovering new worlds to persuading or forcing them to join your federation or empire. The game's simple rules belie a depth of strategy, as you'll need to carefully consider your actions and their potential consequences, using a combination of action points, grid movement, and narrative choices to guide your decisions. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, you'll have ample opportunity to explore the galaxy, make tough decisions, and shape the fate of your chosen faction, all set against the rich backdrop of the Star Trek universe, brought to life by the game's designers, Greg Costikyan and Doug Kaufman, in this 1985 classic.
