I have many problems in my life. Here is a short list off the top of my head:

• Sleeping at a slightly different angle cripples my neck and back for days¹
• Thinking about the wrong thing while trying to get to sleep will prolong wakefulness by exactly one night²
• Eating without having taken a magic pill with trigger my body to start dissolving itself³
• Very interested in binge watching TV series but do not seem to enjoy the actual watching⁴

But another of them is the inability to stop buying board games. This time I decided I would stop subjecting others in my life to this obsession of mine. I have never understood why I find it difficult to commit to a single one-hour long episode of a TV show, but have no problem spending four hours on a board-game, but that is just the way of things.

This time I thought a bit harder about what I wanted from a game, and decided on a solo game that has complexity and replayability. I was torn between Star Trek: Frontiers⁵, Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island, Expeditions, and Frostpunk.

Expeditions looked pretty cool, but I am yet to play Scythe solo so thought it best I do that first. Robinson Crusoe good too, and was a close second. I’ll probably get that next time. Frostpunk is on XBox Game Pass, so I downloaded that instead⁶.

That leaves Star Trek: Frontiers as my main choice, which you already knew, as it is the title of this post.

Much like my Arkham Horror playthrough⁷, I am planning on writing about my adventures in space. Naturally this will be gripping, edge-of-your-seat stuff, so ensure you fully brace yourselves before embarking on these stories.

Sometimes I just cannot understand why I have no friends⁸.
