In Redshirts – which is based on a television franchise never to be named for legal reasons – players take on the role of Starship Captains, with a random assortment of Redshirts, which are junior level crewmen. The goal of the game is to be the first player to eliminate all of his own Redshirts.
Each player has a hand of cards that allows him to assign missions, issue equipment, travel to exotic locations, or use temporary abilities. Players frequently wind up with more cards than they can hold, which forces them to make strategic decisions about how to proceed.
Each Redshirt has its own combination of abilities and powers, and the players must find a way to match their crew up against missions where they cannot succeed. Other players "help" by offering the doomed Redshirt additional aid in an attempt to keep it alive.
• And speaking of Star Trek [Deck Building Game]: The Original Series, which I glossed over above, this is the third ST deck-building game by designer Alex Bykov for Bandai, with all them being playable on a standalone basis or combinable (if you make the effort to reconfigure cards used in various scenarios).

Bling Bling Gemstone features the same game play as Justin Oh's Toc Toc Woodman, but now players have more to aim for when they're swinging the axe.
To set up the game, players create a pillar of discs, with each disc having four colored plastic "gem" pieces slid into notches on its side. On a player's turn, the player takes two swings at the disc tower with a plastic axe. If any gems or discs fall from the tower, the player must keep them. Red gems are worth 3 points, pink gems 2, and transparent gems 1, while the center disc is worth -10 points.
When no discs remain in the tower, the game ends and the player with the most points wins!
