Star Trek: The Card Game is an out-of-print collectible card game by Fleer and Skybox based on the original Star Trek series. The game was designed by Mag Force 7.[2] The original set had 306 cards and was first released in June 1996.[3]
One expansion was released in January 1997 called Starfleet Maneuvers.[3] The 160-card set was designed by Ron Perazza and Steve Domzalski.[4] This focused on the events of the first half of the second season of the show.[5] Promotional cards were distributed in various magazines, including Combo and InQuest, and a Pavel Chekov promotional card was distributed at Gen Con '96.[5]
A second expansion called Alien Encounters was planned for a summer 1997 release but never materialized.[3] It would have focused on the events of the second half of the second season of the show[4] and introduced the new card type Ally.[6] An unnamed third expansion was planned for November 1997.[6]
The game was not compatible with Decipher's iterations of the Star Trek Customizable Card Game.[3]
The gameplay involved acting out an episode using the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.[7]
