The final frontier is more intriguing than ever, and Czech Games Edition (CGE) is exploring
it with Starship Captains, a Star Trek-inspired board game. The new game, designed by Peter
B. Hoffgaard, puts players in command of their very first-star cruiser, leading their crew on
dangerous missions across the galaxy. Along the way, you'll promote and train your crew of
cadets, ensigns, androids, and officers, each with unique roles and abilities, though you'll
also need to upgrade your ship's engine and improve your reputation with various factions.

Starship Captains is a game for 2 to 4 players that lasts about 25 minutes depending on the
number of players. It will cost $59.95, and as you can see from the artwork below, the visuals
perfectly capture the Trek vibes. The game will debut at Essen Spiel later this year and will be
available in North America in the fourth quarter of this year. The official description, box art,
and all of the included components can be found below.

Welcome aboard and congratulations on your promotion! Your new starship is all set for
its first voyage. She'll be fine if you scrape off some of the rust. And what about that crew?
They may be a little green around the edges, but they're your team now. Make us happy. The
stars are calling, and adventure is just around the corner! In this euro-style action selection
and engine-building game for 2-4 players, settle into the captain's chair of your very first-star
cruiser and prepare to embark on an exciting voyage through the depths of space.

The vibrant galaxy is full of strange mysteries to explore and discover! Manage your team of
cadets, ensigns, androids, and officers to maximize their abilities while balancing essential
ship roles, completing unique missions, and upgrading your ship with a powerful engine-
building alien technology.
