CONTROL OVER THE OFFERS (SOLO) When playing a Solo Scenario (either against a Dummy player or Khan), the Advanced Action Offer and Undiscovered Offer change very slowly. We recommend using this variant to give you access to more cards during the game. At the end of each Round, you always remove the lowest card in each offer (and eventually process the Dummy player according to this), as described in the base game. In addition, you may also remove the middle card of one or both offers. So, in total, you replace 2 - 4 cards at your discretion. You have to decide before you start to reveal new cards for the offers (if you forget, just remove the lowest cards only). 2.

While searching for the Borg Cube, if the Pequod’s move would lead to an unexplored part of the map, reveal the top tile from the stack fi rst, and then move the Pequod onto it. The Pequod must move in all cases. If its move would lead off the prescribed shape of the Space Map, then just move it in the closest direction that does not lead off the map. If there is a player ship on the space to which the Pequod intends to move, then the Pequod stops and attacks the ship fi rst. Unless Khan’s fl eet is completely defeated during this battle, the Pequod will enter the space and force the player ship to retreat (see “A Player Attacked by Khan” on page 14). Some cards move the Pequod two spaces in a particular direction. If the fi rst of these two moves reveals the Borg Cube, the second move will be in the direction of the Borg Cube. A double move may cause combat with two player ships, if are they both in the Pequod’s way. In this case, both player ships may be forced to withdraw.
