6th January 2025

Bolians and Bynars of the Star Trek Customizable Card Game, happy January!

Today is the first Monday of the month, ordinarily the day for rules updates... except there aren't any.

You'll be seeing a lot of me (and others) this month, however, as we introduce all the changes (mostly small ones, a few more significant ones) rolling out with Premiere Remastered! I played in an OTSD tournament this weekend and people kept asking me rules questions about Alien Parasites. It took all I had not to say, "Augh! Ban this text already! Alien Parasites works clearly in Premiere Remastered!" (But I held my peace and politely explained that, no, "stopped" on Alien Parasites doesn't actually mean "stopped" because PAQ* wording.

Until then, though, we'll see you on the spaceline!

*NOTE for normies who don't have 1E brainrot: "PAQ Wording" is slang for "Premiere/Alternate universe/Q-continuum wording," since the game's earliest expansion sets were still figuring out how the rules would work and often had inconsistent wording and templating. It is notoriously difficult.
