Star Trek: Frontiers Board Game Now Available From Wizkids
June 30, 2016 by stvitusdancern
We all knew it was going to happen soon or later, the plethora of Star Trek related games to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the groundbreaking show. Wizkids has announced that now available is the new game called Star Trek: Frontiers.
In this game you can play one of several races in the Star Trek universe: Federation, Klingon or Romulans and jump through a worm hole to a far off galaxy and explore the planets within.
You will be able to command ships, negotiate with other races and create away teams and beam down to the unexplored planets. The game has plastic pieces representing the different ships and the graphics on the game cards has pictures from the different series on them.
The game system is based on the Venture Tiles System that was first used in Mage Knight which allows for endless (at least a lot!) combinations so each game can be different. The game is designed to be played solo, cooperative or competitively.
Being fans of the Star Trek universe, this will be one that will beam its way into our home. Oh and don't forget about the blasted Borg and their relentless desire to assimilate all forms of life. They will not let you win the game very easily.
Are you ready to go where no one has gone before?

I have Mage Knight and all the expansions so I’m good on these mechanics. This does look decent, but the theme has a few issues compared to Mage Knight. Still, if you have to choose, go with the theme that is stronger with you.
Also, beware the components. WizKids is notoriously bad in this area.
I’ll have to wait for some reviews but I’m wanting a good Trek game with lots of depth and solo play as I have no friends 🙂
Why do they have to use stills pictures from the serie (it make the game looks already old and outdated)? why cant they give us nice illustration to enhanced the Star Trek universe.
Feels like they just repack MK with a Star Trek cover…. I wait to see the reviews, but just like that… I am a bit disappointed.
btw, as much as I like Star Wars and Star Trek, I can’t stand seeing their IP being used again and again. I’d love to see something new/original for a change.
Illustrations generally cost more than licenced images, but I agree, that would have been better.
