Boldly go where no one has gone before. In Star Trek: Ascendancy — a board game of exploration, expansion and conflict between the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Star Empire — you control the great civilizations of the Galaxy, striking out from your home worlds to expand your influence and grow your civilization. Will you journey for peace and exploration, or will you travel the path of conquest and exploitation? Command starships, establish space lanes, construct starbases, and bring other systems under your banner. With more than 200 plastic miniatures and 30 star systems representing some of the Star Trek galaxy's most notable planets and locations, Star Trek: Ascendancy puts the fate of the galaxy in your hands.
The great unknown lies before you; with every turn is a new adventure as your ships explore new space systems, encounter new life forms and new civilizations, make wondrous discoveries, and face challenging obstacles, all drawn from the vast fifty year history of Star Trek. Will you brave the hazards of Rura Penthe to harvest vital resources, race to develop Sherman's Planet before your rivals stake their claim, or explore they mysteries of the Mutara Nebula on an ever-growing, adaptive map of the galaxy. With an infinite combination of planets and interstellar phenomena, no two games of Star Trek: Ascendancy will ever play the same!
GF9 plans to release Star Trek: Ascendancy in Q3 2016, with two expansion sets — Cardassian Union and Ferengi Alliance — due out before the end of 2016. GF9 notes that it plans to post new information about the game each week on its website.The great unknown lies before you; with every turn is a new adventure as your ships explore new space systems, encounter new life forms and new civilizations, make wondrous discoveries, and face challenging obstacles, all drawn from the vast fifty year history of Star Trek.

• In a press release announcing a new demo program for brick-and-mortar game stores, Stronghold Games teased three additional releases forthcoming in 2016, one with the unhelpful name "To be announced" while the other two are Kraftwagen: V6 Edition and The Fog of War. Asked for details, Stronghold's Stephen Buonocore promised information sometime later in April 2016.
• In its Kickstarter for Pyramid Arcade, Looney Labs notes that if the KS reaches $100,000 in support, it will start work on "a follow-up project called Zendo Arcade for 2017". Kory Heath's Zendo is not included in Pyramid Arcade as that game requires many full stashes of pyramids in a narrow range of colors in order to work well. From the project description: "This number covers the total cost of development and printing of the first 5,000 Pyramid Arcade sets. Bringing in this amount both ensures that we have the cash available to immediately start working on Zendo Arcade and convinces us that there is enough market interest to go forward with this project."
