Managed to introduce a friend to Star Trek: Fleet Captains today. It's my favourite boardgame, but I rarely get a chance to play it with people. She really enjoyed it a lot too, so we'll probably do that again sometime.

It's the only game (digital or traditional) I've found that captures the feel of Star Trek

Like, the sheer variety of it allows for a lot of weird spontaneous situations and very different games

You can have ones that are absolute battles, or where no combat happens at all, and you're pootling around the galaxy discovering weird stuff and building starbases. All the while getting weird situations happening, like Mirror Universe Reginald Barclay rescuing the Klingon flagship from a black hole, or Kes as a Romulan double agent planting Tribbles on the Defiant
