10 Perfect Star Trek Gifts For The Trekkie In Your Life

Everyone needs a boardgame at Christmas, right? How else are you going to start an argument with your family? Better yet, you can channel your feelings into two sides (or more with expansions) of the now near mythic Battle of Wolf 359 with Star Trek: Away Missions.

The starter pack for Away Missions comes with two teams — Riker's Away Team (Commander Riker, Shelby, Data, and Worf), and Locutus's Unimatrix (Locutus, and One through Five of Five). Players beam down as landing parties to the flippable game boards and score points by completing missions or by assimilation using the character cards and miniatures provided. If you want to add other away teams into the mix, there are currently four expansion packs to the game: the Chancellor Gowron Klingon Expansion, the Captain Picard Federation Expansion, the Commander Sela Romulan Expansion, and the House of Duras Klingon Expansion for the extra duplicitous.

If that hasn't tantalised you straight to your tabletops, you could show your nearest and dearest how much you love them with all the phasers and photon torpedoes of a tactical space battle game instead. For this, we'd highly recommend Star Trek: Attack Wing, the Federation vs. Klingons starter set for which comes with a rather nice set of miniatures of the Enterprise-D, the Sutherland (Nebula-class), a Vor'cha-class Klingon attack cruiser, and a K'vort-class bird-of-prey.
