Press Release:
STAR TREK CCG Ends Long Run
Final set to be sold exclusively by Hill’s Wholesale Gaming

(Norfolk, VA—December 4, 2007) —Decipher Inc. announced today that The Star Trek Customizable Card Game Second Edition will come to a close with the release of the final expansion set, “What You Leave Behind,” scheduled the last week in December. The final set will be sold exclusively through Hill’s Wholesale Gaming (www.wholesalegaming.com).

The Star Trek CCG was originally introduced into the marketplace under license from Viacom/Paramount Pictures in November 1994. The final expansion set is designed to complete the game and celebrate many years of strategic gaming in the Star Trek universe. Everyone involved in the development and production of the game wishes to thank the player community for their enthusiastic support for the game for the past thirteen years. Decipher is proud to celebrate the history of Star Trek CCG 2E with a full expansion set that features quality, much as it has from the game’s launch.

“What You Leave Behind” is a boosters-only expansion with 122 cards (40 rare, 41 uncommon, 41 common cards) that includes an 18-card “Archive” foil subset (1:8 average pack distribution). The regular foil inserts are distributed 1:7 packs on average. This final installment in the Star Trek CCG product line is a must-have for players and collectors alike; it includes new additions to game play, as well as nods to fan favorites from the history of Star Trek CCG: Second Edition.

Page Two – Decipher Inc.

Persistent is a new keyword that allows a player to bring successful dilemmas back against an opponent on future turns. The expansion also focuses on missions worth 40 or more points; players completing these missions will receive new and interesting rewards.

The final expansion set in the storied Star Trek CCG will herald the re-appearance of Mot, The Barber. This character, along with his humorous and often misunderstood barbering skill, was introduced in the Premier set more than thirteen years ago, and will now carry through to the final expansion set. In addition, the set will revisit successful older cards and strategies such as Patrol Neutral Zone and MACO, and offer reworks of popular personnel such as the Borg Queen and Data. A solid selection of personnel and ships across all of the Star Trek affiliations will also be included. While there may still be uncharted game play territory for the game’s loyal players, this 14th expansion for the Second Edition of Star Trek CCG does the job of bringing to a close what we feel has been one of the most successful games in the genre of trading card games.

What You Leave Behind, scheduled to ship in late December, will be sold exclusively through Hill’s Wholesale Gaming. Players can visit their website at http://www.wholesalegaming.biz/ to purchase the product.
 

This 122 card set breaks down as follows:

40 card Rare set
41 card Uncommon set
41 card Common set (The Hoshi Sato, Empress 13C106 common card is considered a short print common, appearing 1/3 as often as a standard rare card. From Wild Thing Games: "Each of Deciphers sheets is 11x11, so USUALLY on a sheet you would have 2 of each for a 60 card sets, 3 of each for a 40 card set with the extra being a random common card so that there would be 4 of that particular copy. But now they use it to reprint a non foil version of the previous sets 0AP's so there is only one of those for every 3 of the others." Similar to the old ultra-rare cards.
2 Archive Portrait Cards
18 Archive Foil cards

Just released, this set has 39 rares, 41 commons and 41 uncommons.  These Are The Voyages will be a booster-only release, and will include Captain Kirk, Spock, McCoy, the U.S.S. Enterprise, Khan, original series Klingons and Romulans, and more!

Insert cards will include foil cards (found 1:7 packs on average), 18 Archive foil subset cards (found 1:8 packs on average), and 2 Archive Portraits cards (found 1:63 packs on average).

Card #50 appears not to have been printed/inserted into packs. According to the Decipher website: Parek, Privileged Legate [12 R 50] was inadvertently left off of the rare press sheet and Bashir Founder was placed on the rare press sheet additional times. Parek, Privileged Legate will be printed in a future STCCG Second Edition expansion.

Genesis is a 27 foil card set based on TOS WOK. These cards were first released in 2006, but immediately sold out. Secondary market values got pretty high, so Decipher announced they would do a reprint. These set released in march 2007 and has a 2007 copyright date and the 2006 card of Saavik is numbered 11P21, whereas the 2007 is numbered 011P21.

Released in August of 2006, this set consists of three different sealed boxes. Each box comes with 4 various SE booster packs and a sealed pack of foil cards, each with a different theme. One is called the Siege, another Generations and the third, the Forge and between them make a set of 19 foil cards. The breakdown is as follows:
Box #1: STAR TREK Generations™- James T. Kirk x2 Jean-Luc Picard x2 William T. Riker x2 U.S.S. Enterprise-D Shields Up! x2 Bio-neural Computer Core Avert Solar Implosion
Box #2: The Forge™-Jonathan Archer x2 T'Pol x2 Charles Tucker, III x2 Enterprise Maquis Vendetta x2 Bio-neural Computer Core Deliver Ancient Artifact.
Box #3: The Siege™-Kira Nerys x2 Bareil Antos x2 Jadzia Dax x2 Vedek Assembly Transport Revelry x2 Bio-neural Computer Core Deliver Evidence.
Some collectors reported that The Forge did not include the expected Maquis Vendetta x2 cards.
 

Decipher has released an 18 card foil set of the Enterprise crew in First Edition format. This is available directly from Decipher.

Decipher’s STAR TREK CCG Second Edition To Visit Strange New Worlds-- First Full Expansion Of 2005 To Offer Game play And Collectibility (Norfolk, VA — February 18, 2005) — On April 15, 2005 Decipher will release the first full expansion in over a year for the STAR TREK™ CCG Second Edition. Strange New Worlds will take players to new heights of game play and offer STAR TREK™ fans new cards to collect. “We’re spreading our wings a bit with Strange New Worlds,” said Erika Stensvaag, STAR TREK™ CCG Second Edition Brand Manager for Decipher. “Over the past several months, we’ve been asking players what they would like to see in 2005 and taking input from collectors as well. The overwhelming request has been for popular (and some obscure) characters from the STAR TREK™ CCG First Edition. We think the players will enjoy who makes an appearance!” Strange New Worlds will introduce the Ferengi, including Quark, Rom, Bok and even a Ferengi version of Lwaxana Troi. New game mechanics allow the Ferengi to stockpile their profits to increase their power and influence. Other features of Strange New Worlds include popular androids such as B-4 from STAR TREK™ Nemesis, the Soong-type Android and Ruk. Holographic personnel such as Minuet, Sigmund Freud and Vic Fontaine also appear and fan-favorite characters such as Spock, Montgomery Scott and Kivas Fajo can now become part of your crew. New Missions, Dilemmas, Events, and more round out what players will find in each 11-card booster pack. “STAR TREK™ CCG Second Edition is also popular with STAR TREK™ collectors,” explained Stensvaag. “Our game offers a more complete view of the STAR TREK™ universe than any other product. If they walked on camera, then we’ve probably found out what their name was and put them on a card. Collectors still wanted us to create more unique cards for their hobby. With Strange New Worlds, we’ll introduce some new programs that will be featured through 2005 and beyond.” A new promotional foil subset is available in Strange New Worlds. The 18-card “Archive” foil subset features rare cards from the set in a beautiful diffraction foil treatment. The first two cards of a continuing “Archive Portrait” set features two popular STAR TREK™ characters in an alternate character template. The card is playable, but the image of the character takes up more of the card, creating a unique collectible. The Archive foil subset appears roughly one in every eight packs whereas the Archive Portrait foil cards appear in an average of one in 70 packs. Decipher is also offering a special promotional card to players and collectors who pre-order a booster display of Strange New Worlds by March 11, 2005. The Admiral McCoy, Remarkable man promo will accompany each booster display ordered. Retails and tournament directors may also order special release weekend tournament kits to support organized play in their stores. Details on these programs are available on decipher.com. Strange New Worlds has officially begun soliciting to hobby retailers and is available through any authorized Decipher distributor or online at decipherstore.fanhq.com.

The first Star Trek Expansion of 2005 is Strange New Worlds, which adds 120 new cards to the game and streets in April.

The second Star Trek CCG Expansion, To Boldly Go, arrives in August and introduces personnel and ships from the current Star Trek TV series, Enterprise. Like Strange New Worlds, To Boldly Go includes 120 new cards and will be released in boosters only.

REVIEW: Pros and Con:

Somehow I got rid of my boxes and wrappers to scan for the site. Will try to fix that problem ;)

A box of the product netted two foil cards per pack plus various commons, uncommons and rares from earlier Second Edition products. The non-foil cards were random, some packs netted 3 rares, some none. Like Reflections 1, there are foils for popular cards from earlier sets. The difference for this set is the addition of new foil cards not seen before, making collectors like myself who pursue foil cards only if they differ from the non-foil join in on the chase. New foil cards include Vina (!), Galen, Major Rakal, and a new Defiant card. Reprints include the Borg Queen, Jake Sisko and and At What Cost?
I had no trouble getting the two foil cards per box with a good variety of cards. There were some of the foils that had lines or scratches down the length of the card, but this didn't happen too often.
One collector reported getting about half the total rares in three boxes with alot of duplicating. Another collector reported one case netted two complete sets total with only a little duplication.
Decipher has always had a good eye for images and the new SE cards, esp. witrh the foil effect, are bright and colorful.They're getting pretty creative in how to continue to include the main crew in a new role (as in Curzan Odo) and offering creative events and interrupts and what not. The artowrk for the wrappers and boxes (honest, I'll get scans!!!) is great!
A pro or con depending on your perspective, is the addition of the rares from earlier products. It offers a great chance to complete earlier sets, but also lessens sales for dealers who stock singles in the earlier sets. I did notice that there were alot of the same rares being pulled over and over.
EDITORIAL: Not everyone that collects trading cards collects CCG cards. One thing that holds CCG products back is the volume of product produced. Rare and ultra-rare cards from earlier sets are anything BUT rare in collecting terms. For example, the ultra-rae for AU, the Futre Enterprise had a print run of 42,000. There are 19,339 of each rare card in the BB set and 127,006 of each rare in AU. There were 5,000 6 box cases and 7,500 6 box starters boxes for the BB set. These are massive numbers compared with the 16,000 box run for, say, the 1997 TOS Season One. Collectors were originally paying $50-$60 for cards that won't sell now or if they do, sell for $1-$5. To make collecting appealing to *collectors*, the print runs would have to be drastically cut. Print runs for current products are uknown. I'd be curious to know if they were lessened. Products like NE and AGT seems to have a smaller print run and have increased in value since release (at least as of this date).
But, there is somethnig....not sure what to call it...about the CCG product that is addicting for me. Having an autograph card of Patrick Stewart is a great collectible and makes me feel as though I have a piece of the actor portraying my favorite character.Holding a Picard or a Janeway CCG card feels like you own the character themselves. Personally, until I have Archer, I won't be satisfied. ;)

Fractured Time-From their website
Release Date: October 13, 2004

Fractured Time will range through the past, present, and future of the Star Trek universe, crossing the boundaries of parallel universes and timelines. New characters and mechanics will feature images from all five live-action Star Trek series. From the Second Edition debut of James T. Kirk to the first Star Trek: Enterprise character – Daniels – to the return of the "Future Enterprise" version of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, Fractured Time is packed with all your favorite space/time-bending episodes.

Contents:
Complete 40-card expansion set of Fractured Time cards.
1 Premiere Booster pack
1 Energize Booster Pack
1 Call to Arms Booster Pack
1 Premiere or CTA Starter Deck
Collector's Box- 6 different kinds

Release Date: October 13, 2004

Fractured Time also introduces a new "call out" keyword – Decay. This new effect will destroy the card it is on – but not right away. As you play, certain things trigger the demise of these cards. What type of cards have decay? Events. Some decay events have strong game text and some decay events do something interesting when they are destroyed. But all the decay events will eventually leave ... yes, their TIME is short.
