Project Lockhart Pre-Release
Take a sneak peek at Project Lockhart, the next First Edition expansion. Bring a constructed deck and spice it up with all the new stuff you can draft out of the Lockhart booster we will give you.
First Edition World Championship
This is it! The biggest event First Edition Trek has to offer! Can you fight your way through the best First Edition players?
Traditional
Missing the old times? Don't like the look of Second Edition cards? Then this is for you: A trip back to the Decipher era with a First Edition tournament that only allows Decipher-produced, physical First Edition cards.
OTSD
Back to Basics. Four (4) boosters of Premier, one (1) booster of AU, and a set of Official Tournament Sealed Deck (OTSD) fixed cards. Is this enough for you to build a deck and win a tournament?
Open
No new rules! No banned cards (well, aside from Raise the Stakes). Bring the nastiest deck you can build, because your opponent will do so for sure.
Standard Orbit
How many decks can you play in one round? More than you think, if you have to change seats (and games/decks) every 15 minutes. Enjoy the strangest tournament format Trek has to offer...
Iron Man
Looking for a way to get rid of all of your surplus cards? Play Iron Man. All cards that are either discarded or removed from the game have to be physically destroyed. Decks may (or better have to) be changed or rebuilt between rounds. You can play with virtual cards, but everybody will call you a wimp if you do... Bonus prizes for the most creative way of destroying a card...
World Championship Trek (WCT) League Players' Tournament
The prize is big: A Round 2 bye into Second Edition Worlds. To get it, you have to survive a Single Elimination bracket filled with the best players from all the trek leagues.
Race to the Alpha Quadrant
Each of your games will have an additional rule. Some will help you, some will hinder you, but all will change the way you play.
Infinite Diversity Draft
We know you can build a deck with all the cards you have stored at your home. But can you build one when you have only 84 cards to choose from?
Biermeister
Remember when your mother told you: "Don't drink and play Trek"? You better forget about her because to win here you have to prove not only your playing ability, but also your drinking skill.
Worlds - Day 1
Start your way to the title. See if you can survive the best players and make it to the Top 16.
Worlds - Day 2
Only 16 remain. It is the battle of your life. And at the end of the day, only one will remain and be crowned World Champion!
Virtual
If you can print it, you can use it. So warm up your printer and find out how different the game becomes when it is all virtual.
Double-Deck-Challenge
Two decks, one tournament! The rules are simple: Bring two different decks (i.e. decks having a total of 10 different missions) and play each in three games. What makes it complicated is that you can choose before each game what deck you want to play...
Multiplayer Team
This time the team tournament will be multiplayer! Teams of two are facing each other in Multiplayer games. Team members are sitting on opposite sides of the table and are not counting as opponents for cards' gametext. Unique cards are unique per team. Players cannot use cards or points of their teammates, but are free to discuss their strategy (that includes showing cards to each other). A game lasts 90 minutes, and when time is called, the game continues until both teams have finished the same number of rounds. Victory conditions are changed to: 150 points and at least one completed planet and space mission per team; at least one completed mission per team member. Cards that create different ways of winning (i.e. Up the Ante, Quark's Treasure, The Long Journey Home and similar cards) are banned.
