Star Trek: The Enterprise4 Encounter was one of three Star Trek games released in 1985 by West End Games.
The premise of the game had the superbeing Trelane (from TOS: "The Squire of Gothos") returning toward the end of the original Enterprise's five-year mission under James T. Kirk and forcing them into a new game. The crew is be split up and deposited either on the ship (in fact, FOUR duplicates of the ship, which show up on each other's sensors as Klingon ships) or on worlds visited by the crew over the last five years. Each ship (player) must travel around the board re-living the various Original Trek episodes (listed on a deck of double-sided game cards, with each "episode" affecting gameplay in one way or another) in an attempt to collect at least one Crewmember in each of six Divisions (Command, Science, Medical, Security, Navigation & Communications) and return to their starting planet.
The game featured 24 counters representing 18 "Officer-Level" crew who count toward the needed Crew counters, 5 "Cadet" counters (in each division except Command) which are "red herrings" of sorts, and one Starfleet counter that acts as a "wild card" and may replace any one needed Crew counter.
In addition, since the ships read each other as enemy vessels, ships which simultaneously land on certain spaces (called Tractor Zones) are forced into battle, with the winner claiming a Crewmember from the loser. A deck of Battle Cards help in determining the victor by allowing each ship to use phasers, shields, photon torpedoes and various other maneuvers.
