VICTORY
The first player to resolve 10 Encounters is the winner. 

THE DECKS
There are 2 Decks: 
1. The Encounter Deck
2. The Enterprise Deck

THE ENCOUNTER DECK
These are events, complications, and missions the players are 
Trying to resolve. All require 2-3 specific crew to complete. 

THE ENTERPRISE DECK
These fall into 2 main categories: Ship Cards and Crew Cards. 
Some can be both and some can be used for special Actions. 

SETUP
Shuffle the Decks. 
Each player is dealt 4 cards from the Enterprise Deck. 
Flip the top 3 cards of the Encounter Deck over face up in a line. 
These are the Available Encounter Cards. 
Flip the top 5 cards of the Enterprise Deck over face up in a line. 
These are the Bridge Cards. 

TURN SEQUENCE
The youngest player goes first. 
Play proceeds clockwise. 
Each turn has 5 Phases:
1.  Ready Phase
2.  Action Phase
3.  Mission Phase
4.  Penalty Phase
5.  End Phase

READY PHASE
Fill your hand to 5 cards with cards drawn from top of the 
Enterprise Deck. If the Deck ever runs out, shuffle the 
Discard and draw from it. 

ACTION PHASE
You may take up to 3 Actions in this Phase. 
These can include: 
1. Discarding a Card and Drawing a replacement from the 
Top of the Enterprise Deck. 
2. Switching a card in your hand for a Bridge Card. 
3. Activating the Special Ability of a Bridge Card. 

MISSION PHASE
You may Complete (Resolve) one of the Available Encounter Cards. 
To do this you must make a combo. 
A combo must include 5 Crew Cards and 1 Ship Card for a total of 6 Cards. 
Five cards of the combo must be from your hand. 
The Sixth card must be one of the Bridge Cards. 
2-3 of the 5 Crew must match the ones listed on the Encounter Card. 
You cannot have Duplicate Crew Cards (You cannot play 2 Picards). 
If you are able to make the Combo, discard all the cards you used 
To make it and place the Encounter card into your Victory Pile. 

PENALTY PHASE
If you did not resolve an Encounter this Turn you must take a 
Penalty. Each Encounter Card Lists a Penalty. Take the Penalty of the 
Farthest most Available Encounter Card. Penalty types include: 
Destruction: Discard your Hand.
Lost: Miss your Next Turn.
Delay: Get 1 less Action next Turn.
Death: Discard a Crew Card from your hand. 
Damage: Discard a Ship Card from your hand. 
Blocked: Next Turn you must solve this Encounter if it is still Available. 
Retreat: Next Turn you cannot solve this Encounter Card. 
Reprimand: Discard 1 Card from your Victory Pile. 

END PHASE
If there are less than 3 Available Encounters, flip over a replacement 
from the Encounter Deck. 
Discard down to 3 Bridge Cards. Discard those Farthest down the line. 
Shift the remaining Bridge cards towards the end of the line. 
Flip over 2 replacements from the Enterprise Deck to bring the total 
Number of Bridge cards up to 5.
