description Decipher Star Trek CCG Overview

The Star Trek Customizable Card Game is a collectible card game released by Decipher Inc. in 1994. Players build decks representing factions such as the Federation, Klingons, and Romulans, utilizing ships, personnel, and equipment to solve missions across a spaceline. A distinguishing feature is its use of a "seed phase," where players secretly place dilemmas and obstacles for their opponent to encounter.

The game ultimately expanded to cover multiple Star Trek television series and remained popular until its license expired in 2007.

help Decipher Star Trek CCG FAQ

How do players win a game of Decipher's Star Trek CCG?

In the First Edition game, players normally seed missions along a shared spaceline and send personnel, ships, and equipment to solve them. A player generally seeks to reach 100 points, although cards and special formats can alter the winning conditions.

What is the difference between First Edition and Second Edition Star Trek CCG?

Decipher's 1994 First Edition uses spacelines, seed phases, and a highly open card-interaction system. Second Edition, released in 2002, redesigned costs, dilemmas, headquarters, and deck construction to create a more standardized game.

Can cards from Star Trek CCG First Edition be used in Second Edition?

Some early Second Edition cards carried a backwards-compatible bar that allowed them to be used under First Edition conversion rules. The reverse is not generally true, because ordinary First Edition cards were not designed for Second Edition's cost and icon systems.

Can people still play Star Trek CCG after Decipher stopped publishing it?

Yes. The Continuing Committee supports organized play and releases printable virtual expansions for both First Edition and Second Edition. Players combine those free cards with Decipher's physical cards from properties including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and the original series.
