Jeff brought this little gem out for the 2nd time and I gotta say I really like it. Players assume the role of members of the ship after the captain has died. They range from tactical officer to engineer and crewman etc. The idea is to get the warp core engine to engage while an Alien fleet is shooting your ship knocking important functions offline or worse. They also send boarding parties and fighter ships to harass the ship more closely.
So you get three skill types and about 4 actions to move about the ship repairing systems, and/ or using them to improve your situation. Killing aliens on board or firing a torpedo at ships circle yours. Once you understand the mechanics the game flows very quickly and the alerts start to generate a sense of panic as options are limited to you from being offline or destroyed until you and your friends repair them. After our third game we found the admiral and the hologram to be super useful as their abilities kind of help things along easier.
It is a whole lot of fun and I plan on picking up a copy myself. It is from AEG
