How much do you know about Star Trek CCG? Test Your Knowledge and Experience (TYKE) by answering the following ten questions without looking at cards, cardlists and rulebooks. This quiz should take less than ten minutes to complete. It is intended as a bit of fun, and there are no prizes. When you are done, post your score on the All Things Trek forum so we can all see who the biggest know-it-all is.

Your score will only be preserved for as long as you keep this page open. All text and image links within this quiz will load in a separate window, so that you do not lose your progress when you click on them.

Question 1	I am an Admiral, and I command a ship. I have a beard. I gain skills and my attributes increase when I am attempting a space mission. Who am I?
Answer 1	I am William T. Riker (Wistful Admiral). I hope you didn't confuse me with Logan Black who is also an Admiral, who commands a ship and has a beard.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 2	My opponent has one of my personnel in his Brig. He has two copies of Tribunal Sentencing in his core. One of my ships has been damaged by Molecular Reversion Field. I have no cards in my hand, deck, or in play that let me spend additional counters. How many counters can I spend on my next turn?
Answer 2	I have four counters to spend. All players get seven counters to spend every turn. Each copy of Tribunal Sentencing and Molecular Reversion Field reduces the number of counters I may spend by one.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 3	Which of the two images below is used on the dilemma One to One?
Answer 3	The second image, showing Thomas on the left and Will on the right, is used on One to One.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 4	Which of the following Alternate Universe Original Series personnel is not wearing a red shirt? Hikaru Sulu (Savage Security Chief) Montgomery Scott (Uncivilized Engineer) Pavel A. Chekov (Treacherous Underling)
Answer 4	Pavel A. Chekov (Treacherous Underling) wears a yellow shirt in the Mirror Universe. Both Hikaru Sulu (Savage Security Chief) and Montgomery Scott (Uncivilized Engineer) wear red shirts in the Mirror Universe.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 5	I have completed a planet mission and a space mission and have a score of 70 points. I have two copies of Causal Recursion in my core, and my opponent has a damaged Phoenix (Risen From the Ashes) at one of his non-Headquarters missions. I can only score points by completing my remaining two missions. How many points do I still need to win the game?
Answer 5	I need to score a further 50 points to win the game. To win a game, I need to complete a planet mission and a space mission and score 100 points. Each copy of Causal Recursion says I need an additional 10 points to win the game. An undamaged Phoenix (Risen From the Ashes) at a non-Headquarters mission would require me to score an additional 10 points to win the game. Fortunately, it is damaged so it has no effect on me. This means that I only need a total of 120 points to win the game.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 6	Who is sitting behind Klag?
Answer 6	William T. Riker is sitting behind Klag.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 7	I command one Headquarters mission. My opponent commands three Headquarters missions. I begin a mission attempt at a mission with no dilemmas beneath it. Neither I nor my opponent use any cards to change the number of dilemmas being drawn or played. My personnel face Moment of Doubt and then Agonizing Encounter - both of which have a printed cost of 5. What is the lowest number of personnel I could have begun the attempt with?
Answer 7	A minimum of seven personnel had to begin the attempt. Moment of Doubt costs 5 but is reduced by 2 because I command one Headquarters mission. Agonizing Encounter costs 5 but is reduced by 1 because I command one Headquarters mission. The two dilemmas had a combined cost of 7, so there must have been a minimum of seven personnel in the attempt. It did not matter that my opponent commanded three Headquarters missions.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 8	Which of these three Captains does not have a card with 2 Leadership? James T. Kirk Jean-Luc Picard Kathryn Janeway
Answer 8	Jean-Luc Picard does not have a card with 2 Leadership. James T. Kirk (Brutal Barbarian) and Kathryn Janeway (Clever Captain) both have 2 Leadership. Despite the Next Generation's William T. Riker (Skilled Commander) having 2 Leadership, there is currently no version of Jean-Luc Picard with 2 Leadership.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 9	Which virtual card is this image taken from?
Answer 9	The image is used on Personal Duty. This is a Virtual Promo from Things Past, the 15th Anniversary Collection. It is a virtual reprint of Personal Duty from the Second Edition core set.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
Question 10	Order (from highest to lowest) these three ships by their printed Weapons attribute. U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Federation Flagship) U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Personal Flagship) U.S.S. Enterprise-E (Federation Envoy)
Answer 10	1. U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Personal Flagship), with Weapons 11 2. U.S.S. Enterprise-E (Federation Envoy), with Weapons 9 3. U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Federation Flagship), with Weapons 8 If we called the U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Personal Flagship) by its First Edition name, the Future Enterprise, it should come as no surprise that, from circa 2395, it has the highest Weapons attribute of the three ships. Next comes the U.S.S. Enterprise-E (Federation Envoy), launched in 2372, to replace the U.S.S. Enterprise-D (Federation Flagship) that crashed a year earlier.	Did you answer correctly? Yes No
		Score: 0 / 0
