How do you play this game?!?

If any one out there can teach me how to play this game, I would be so grateful. I'd even give some cards away as payment or something.

Um......well. I mean this is the nicest way posible. What are you doing? You've got a wife there has got to be some better way for you to spend your time then trying to find the rules for some discontinued card game.

@Elk4758 I play, or try to play, this card game while my wife plays World of Warcraft. We don't have to do everything together, so we're keeping some hobbies of our own.

If I could remember where I put mine, I'd send them to you. I couldn't figure it out, either. I also have a Captain Picard plate.

Nerdy works.

@ebiannah Nothing wrong with nerdy, it's served me well my whole life.

when i dont know how to play a card game, i just take all of the cards in my hands and 52 pickup them around the room and make my sisters pick them up.

[AndyPliskin]

@PowerRangers12345 That would be a mess since there are a lot more than 52 cards involved.

There's a great guide at trekcc.org called "Into the Final Frontier" that basically draws up a mock game for you to follow along with.

I just started playing again. Ontario, if anyone is interested, message me.

Decipher stopped making new cards, but the game isn't dead. Visit trekcc.org to find players in your area.

TYPE IN STAR TREK CCG RULES

I love this game. Do you still need to know how it works?

[schlicky13]

2500+ cards? I stopped keeping track of my collection after 10K+ (and that's just my trek, I also collected and played Star Wars CCG and Highlander CCG). As for learning to play the game? The inside joke with this game was that you needed an engineering degree to play it. It was complicated enough when it was first released, but with nearly every expansion there were new rules, rule errata, changes to preexisting cards, and new or modified game mechanics. I loved the game, but 2nd ed. killed it.

Trekcc.org has updated rules, glossary, forums, and all kinda of help.

I've twice as many cards (1 of each for play + 1 of each for my collection). Never played due to all the bloat of the new card types & rules. The learning curve is too steep for beginners. Try downloading a pdf of the Introductory 2 Player Sample Game. It's for the basic set only. Set it up & play along with it. Then try a game of your own. Bring each expansion into play, one at time, learning the updated rules as you go, playing a few games until it becomes clear before moving onto the next.

oh man, i totally don't know how to play that game!
