Star Trek: Captain's Chair*
* 
Star Trek: Captain's Chair is an asymmetric duel card game for one or two players who command iconic captains across the galaxy.
What is it about?
Each player steps into the role of a famous captain. The choices include Picard, Sisko, and Michael Burnham. Every captain has a unique, asymmetric deck with its own style. That makes each game play out differently.
How it plays
- Pick your captain and their deck.
- Command ships, crew, and away teams.
- Manage resources and alliances.
- Lean on diplomacy, science, or combat.
Combat alone will not win every game. Different captains excel on different paths. The game belongs to the Imperium Engine series.
Who is it for?
This aims at experienced gamers and Star Trek fans who like heavy card duels. A game runs about 60 to 120 minutes. The weight is high. It also plays solo.
- Six asymmetric captain decks
- Hundreds of thematic cards
- Markers for resources and influence
Conclusion
If you love deep deckbuilding duels and the Star Trek theme, you get strong replay value. Newcomers may find the high weight off-putting.
