We went over to @oysta@oysta.au's this afternoon for a three-player game of Star Trek: Away Missions! I played the Romulans, @yayKM@aus.social played Chancellor Gowron's Klingons, and @oysta@oysta.au played the Federation expansion that has Captain Picard (in his non-Borg form), Geordi, Troy, and both Dr. Crusher and Wesley.
The final score was 140 to the Romulans, 130 to the Klingons, and only 65 for Picard's team, but that downplays how poorly it started out for Gowron, with him and another character being repeatedly stunned by the Federation phasers. By comparison, the other two Klingons on the other side of the board ended up making short work of both Wesley and Dr. Crusher (though in the case of the latter, only after I had grievously wounded her 😅). The Romulans are fun, they're not straightforwardly combat-ready but with the right cards and positioning you can end up rolling the maximum six dice. I had a few misplays and discarded the wrong card because I had forgotten about another card that I needed to use it with and so incorrectly discarded it, but ah well. Picard's team seems interesting, they're more about diplomacy and giving benefits to their enemies but getting a larger benefit in return as well. Very keen to play more, though we're going to see about tweaking the Gowron deck a bit because there are a lot of skill tests but the Klingons aren't very good at actually succeeding at them...
