The History of Star Trek CCG: Introductory Two-Player Game
|
July 15, 2004
The first product with "preconstructed" decks, the Two-Player
Game was intended to introduce beginners to the game. The decks unfortunately
were sadly underpowered, with only a single dilemma per mission (all of
which were planets). Its main utility was in the handful of premium cards
it contained.

Factoids
- Spock, although white-bordered and packed with the Federation deck,
is not part of that Federation deck but is a 61st card (at that
time, the fixed deck size was 60 card). It was printed in the center (121st)
slot on the press sheet between the two 60-card decks.
- The Two-Player Game decks (along with the Warp Packs) were the source
of white-bordered "preview" versions of a number of cards from
the Alternate Universe expansion, otherwise released only in black border.
One of these cards was the I.K.C. K'Ratak, which had the attribute names
incorrectly printed in mixed upper/lowercase (e.g., Weapons instead of
WEAPONS). This was corrected on the black-bordered AU version.
Notable Cards
Mogh and Jarod never appeared in The Next Generation. Their images were
created by blending features from their descendants on the shows.
