We first saw this upcoming new Star Trek tabletop game at WizKids’ booth during February’s ToyFair visit, and now the gaming company has officially announced Star Trek: Conflick in the Neutral Zone for release this spring.
The game is new tabletop strategy came where players use tokens to act out space battles in a Next Generation-era setting. Collecting resources (energy and command points) is accomplished by bringing a collector ship within range of an energy or command point planet. To attack, you must use your attack ship to hit an opponent’s ship off the planet or board. Successfully attacking an opponent will award a command point.
