ABSTRACT:
A board game is based on trivia associated with STAR TREK. The game provides a plurality of knockdown models representing the Enterprise. Each model has a game piece which doubles as a base of the model. Players start by moving their game pieces along a selected playing path towards a selected destination area according to the roll of dice. Upon landing on a destination space, a player must pick a trivia card and answer a question corresponding to the destination space landed on. If the answer is correct, the player is awarded a model portion and checks off the appropriate category represented on the destination area on a category card checklist. Players continue collecting the model portions and assembling them on their game piece while moving from destination to destination. The first person to obtain all model portions of the ENTERPRISE and returns to earth wins the game. Various penalties and detours are included in the game.
