Star Trek: Into the Unknown - Federation vs. Dominion Core Set

Although, I haven't played it yet. The introctory scenario/rules look good. Nice mix of narrative and simulation is how it reads. The miniatures look amazing! The scales for the ships (in comparison to each other) look more accurate than other miniature games. Although, I only checked measurements on the federation vessels. I'm honestly not sure about the scale of the Dominion, in terms of accuracy, but they look good. When the package arrived, the Constitution class had a broken pair of nacels but I was able to fix it fine with glue. So, that fixes nicely enough - but a little annoying that I had to fix it. I think these miniatures are the big selling point for this product. I could definitely see using these in roleplaying and other games. They seem the perfect scale for gaming and having details. I'm not sure about the going price, but these days it seems like everything is expensive. Hopefully, they can manage to produce the same high quality at a lower price. At the current price, I don't see myself buying it regularly, but it also seems like you don't need a lot of ships to play the game. I definitely want to buy more in the future but at the current costs it won't be often. The miniatures are amazing though.

While this was purchased elsewhere, I thought I'd share my thoughts on the game here. Star Trek: Into the Unknown is an excellent, albeit challenging miniatures game that combines elements of tabletop wargames with the classic feel of Star Trek episodes. The learning curve is a bit steep, although that is due more to the sheer amount of options you have on your turn rather than a bunch of hard to learn mechanics. If you are new to the game, I would recommend watching Crabbok's playthrough videos on YouTube. You will learn how to play much faster than just powering through the rulebook. As for the minis themselves, while they might be improved with a little touchup paint, they look great overall. Definitely better than the Attack Wing minis. Plus, this time they're all in scale. Overall, a fun game. My only complaint it the glacial pace of release for new expansions.

This game is awesome.

The game was a little bit of a letdown. When I received the game the Galaxy and Constellation ship both had there warp nacelles glued on severely crooked. Reached out to the company to have the two ships replaced, they said it would take up to three weeks, still haven't heard anything back. The rules of the game are poorly done, but if you stick with do some searching online you'll get some decent understanding on how to play it. The good thing is once you do learn it, the game play isn't that bad. Over all I'll have to stick with the 2 stars because of the poor quality of the models.

Neat miniatures. 40 page unclear tutorial before you even get into the overly complicated act of playing the game. Unlikely this will see the light of day for more than a year as the learning curve is so steep you'll never find anyone who wants to commit to 4 hours to learn how to play.
