Miami Dice - Episode 23 - Star Trek Fleet Captains

[Barl3000]

Hmm the cards seem to be very thin and flimsy, other than that it seems like a great game. But I think I am the only one in my group of friends that is interested in this type of game :-/

[Chronix74]

so better than galactica? because I like the star trek universe much more. Thanks,

[GrayVizard]

whats really interesting is this reminds me A LOT of the Star trek next gen CCG that they tried to release to much fan confusion a few years ago

[RogueScholarBlue]

@thedicetower I'm not even a Star Trek fan (I side more with it's hated enemy, Star Wars) and I found this to be thoroughly awesome. Massive props for all the detail they added in this game. Could *someone* please explain why they haven't done a Star Trek video game this amazing? Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to do. Really the only thing I think this game is lacking is a secondary component that allows you to beam down to planets or onto enemy ships for some die rolling phaser combat.

this theme is stolen from kevin mcleod.

[TheSuperLazyCritic]

thumbs up if Penny Arcade sent you here

[StexeGod]

This just got linked to by Penny Arcade... that's great that Tycho keeps checking out your videos Tom! Going to really get a ton of people to look at your channel!

[fiddlerjones84]

It's a ton of fun - finally got a chance to play this game. My only complaint is that the rulebook is pretty vague. We ran into several situations in which we didn't know how to resolve some (minor) points. I'm sure there are clarifications on BGG, but otherwise, I really enjoyed it.

*Reviewer sticks Prometheus class ship on the board at 6:52*

Oh dear God... I was already sold... and NOW I've jizzed in my pants...

[campbelltron]

doctor who is better. true.

[trekadam30]

Sounds cool, but my brain could barely manage the collectible card game. LOL.

[JediJoe22]

Really wish the models were painted, but at the same time, I'm looking forward to picking up some model paint and getting down on Sunday nights haha.

[tesseraktik]

7:54 - So the choice is between adding Wesley Crusher to your crew and using him as a shield? Not a very difficult choice.

[BrianSnow0]

@tesseraktik

haha. We might lose medical support from his mom if we use him as a shield though.

[tngdragon]

Shared with my Twitter Trekkies - thanks for the review!

[AngryJoeShow]

Sweeeet! So Good to hear! SOLD. And sharing with everyone I can. Great Review as always Tom and Sam!

[aervanath]

Sam keeps holding the game to his nose, like it's got that new game smell.

[CER3BRALhitman]

I love Star Trek... DO WANT

[spacehybrid]

Order mine from a store this morning so hopefully will get this week. Though it won't be my "all time best" IF/until they release Romulans and Cardassians.

[JiraiyaFan]

What is the intro tune used here?

[ftfnation]

Love your reviews guys. I think that you must know that in my country (creators of Stronghold :D) your approval in board games is really highly noted. So keep on doing great reviews.

P.S.

Tom, are you losing weight? I hope it's nothing serious just healthy living.

Regards :D

[YoksterMan]

Wow, that looks much better than I had expected! Looks awesome, were I a Trekkie I would buy it immediately.

[dcbriscoe2000]

Thanks for the great review guys, good job. Maybe this is an opportunity to finally think about a battle report of sorts? Also if the designers are viewing this, maybe you have an opportunity here to improve the quality by releasing a deluxe/limited edition version of the game as it seems a shame that component quality is a slight negative.

[stuffwithpetr]

@swivelz36 it's fun again.com

More Sam, you are cracken me up buddy.

[vergeofchaos]

AAAAARRRGHHHH! "ET CETERA". NOT "Ec setra".

[Pollution122]

"star trek enterprise" LOL

[pukerslaker]

SOunds good but i'd want Space Hulk v3 level quality for that price!

[swivelz36]

What website does he name drop? I cant make it out...

[ReverendGamer]

I still don't understand the $100 price point. Descent is a $100 game, and it has almost 100 miniatures, plus cardboard and cards!

[YoksterMan]

@ReverendGamer Descent is a better value for money, but you must remember that Star Trek Fleet Captains is a licensed game and part of the price of the game is to cover the cost of the licensing fees.

[bexarath]

Great review. Sadly, I very seldom play 2-player games, so this wouldn't be worth it for me. Looks nice, though.

[wr00t]

@bexarath they said it can be played with teams (2 vs 2)

[bexarath]

@wr00t still just too small for my usual group, and I generally dislike team-based games.

[eatmyjustice]

Thanks for the review guys... I saw this at GenCon, but the price point put me off even doing a demo. Now..... I'm going to have to check this out. darn it

[kingplayer14]

Good video! I am not into Star Trek, but I liked to watch you guys geek out just a bit :}

[Razetaze]

I'm glad I subscribed. Now I get a mail every time you guys upload a video. Great review. I was wondering what do you think about Runewars. I checked and did not see a review about it.

[struttgart]

Tasty awesome sauce ... mmmmmm!!! Great Review ... Thanks!!

[rpmetzler]

As a Star Wars devotee, the theme was a turnoff for me. Thanks for the review Tom. Now I have to check it out...

[Cyberplex]

Best game ever? wow... count me interested.

[anedcav]

si-fi forever
