Great mini game, quick to play and simple to learn.

Layout the Timeline, as seen in Trek (from Primordial Ooze to the Antitime Anomaly in "All Good Things...."). You are one of the entities from Trek who has a vested interest in changing the timeline; perhaps the Borg stopping First Contact, or the Cardassians stopping the Emissary...). You will play cards which help you, hinder your opponent(s), and/or change time. Perhaps you make Edith Keller survive her brush with death - what ripples through time will this have? Does it support or stop your Victory Condition?

Each game takes no more than half an hour or so, and it's pretty replayable (4 different difficulties, with half a dozen characters in each).

Plus it's in a tiny box, so takes up hardly any space!

A Hardy Picard Outing

Well for a Star Trek feature film this was fairly meh. If it had been a two part mid-season episode I could get more behind it.

I enjoyed Tom Hardy’s character, Shinzon, and felt he did more for this film than usual cast who seemed to be going through the motions. The cringe-worthy Riker / Troi wedding got this off to a painful stat. The B4 plot line was predictable and unoriginal - shock Data has a brother - wait where have I heard that before.

It was nice to have Romulans feature in a big screen outing and I thought the Senate intrigue was good as was big space battle (really be a disaster if they messed that up!) Could of been worse (I’m looking at you Insurrection) but for the last TNG outing would of hoped for something with more impact (I’m looking at you First Contact.)

Well, Ill start by saying this was a little too geeky for me. Thats not to say it wasnt a good story but all the references to Firefly and other TV programs Ive never watched put me off a little.

I read a book for the romance, which Im sure Ive mentioned before somewhere, and I enjoyed the spark the characters had. The way they dont realise they know each other (even if it is through a game) but are drawn to each other right from the first contact. They clicked right away and theres a scene involving a shower which made me smile.

I did enjoy it; Pen was hands on when it came to defending herself and Cal being slightly geeky made a change to the usual books I read where theyre attractive, tattooed and arrogant.

Its definitely for those who enjoy comics, online-gaming, cosplay and conventions.
