I haven’t played Star Trek Risk (I’m a Risk 2210 fan), but Star Trek Ascendancy is an instant classic in my opinion. It makes my all time top 7, and I recommend it if you like multi-player empire building games and you don’t mind the science fiction.
This is on Table Top Simulator now for anyone interested. Rules have been updated on the TTS version, still have yet to update this forum post. If I see interest, I will post the new stuff on here.
Now that sounds like a fun game that I could get some of my more “mainstream” friends into. They don’t like the idea of boardgames but I think this could be something that would be fun because you get to lie, cheat and steal, lol.
