Boldly going where plenty of party games have gone before, but with a Starfleet twist, Star Trek: Warped Phrases is the franchise's newest excuse to gather friends and be gloriously silly. It is a fill-in-the-blank party card game now up for pre-order, and it looks like an easy pick for any table that loves a laugh and a bit of Trek.
Run game nights? Backseat Gamer handles RSVPs, waitlists, date polling, and game voting so you can focus on playing.
Start organising for freeThe setup is quick. One player acts as judge and deals out a prompt card. Everyone else completes the phrase using their answer cards, aiming to be the funniest rather than the most accurate, and the judge picks a winner each round. Rack up the most rounds and you take the game. With 350 cards drawing on decades of Star Trek characters, quotes and lore, there is plenty of material for both hardcore Trekkies and the friend who only knows Spock.
It comes from writer Robb Pearlman and is published by Clarkson Potter, part of Penguin Random House, under the tagline "A Highly Illogical Card Game". If you have played the Apples to Apples or fill-in-the-blank school of party games, you will know the format instantly, which makes this an easy one to teach on a games night with no rules explanation to slow things down.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
