Star Trek Fluxx - Archer and Porthos expansions

 



In what may be the final voyage into the final frontier of Star Trek themed Fluxx games, the geniuses at @looneylabs have released two new expansions sets the Archer expansion and the Porthos expansion. The expansions which were designed to be played with any or all of the previous Star Trek Fluxx decks. Added onto the Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, you are looking at a deck of nearly 450 cards and much like Trek itself chaos is sure to happen. 


Some of my favorite cards of the new deck are The Table of Captains goal, where you have to have Archer along with any of the other iconic captains - Kirk, Picard, Sisko (my favorite captain), or Janeway to win. A Kor keeper card that encourages you to tell your opponent that they have no honor  (batlh DaHutlh if you want to say it in Klingon and honestly who wouldn’t). A fun new meta rule is you can have a goal for every set you are using, the odds of keeping your eye on your progress and your opponents are lower than the odds of winning big at the dabo table at Quarks. 


As of now it seems unlikely that we will see decks for Discovery, Picard or Lower Decks, but you never know. In the meantime there is more than enough Trek Fluxx to keep the biggest Trekkies (Trekkers) satisfied. The expansions along with the main sets are available at Looney Labs website and your local gaming stores. 


Note: I was provided with a copy of the expansions to facilitate this review, but as always all opinions are my own.
