Star Trek: The Next Generation Collectible Dice Game (1996)

GAME SYSTEM This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages. 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 multi-player 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.
