Star Fleet Battles: Captain's Edition Basic Set (1990)

About this game

The lead product of Star Fleet Battles Captain's Edition. This is the fourth edition in the Star Fleet Battles series, and it is the current edition. There have been two major reprintings of the rules, each of which incorporates some errata and cleanup in the rules in 1999 and 2005. These can be identified by a year printed on the lower part of the front cover. Re-implements: Star Fleet Battles Star Fleet Battles Designer's Edition Star Fleet Battles Commander's Edition

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 4.3/5 this is a heavy game — read the rulebook before people arrive.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
