Casual Trek

17. Allamaraine

It’s games night here at Casual Trek! Crack open a steaming tin of gamer fuel and stretch those controller-twiddling thumbs! We’ve got three episodes all about games today. The Ktarian Game – A free to play puzzle game which looks very simple but is worryingly addictive. Chula – We get so annoying about this one and I can only apologise. Allamaraine! Bat’leths & BiHnuchs was probably sold as an RPG but is more of a board game with purchasable DLC Springball – Space Squash We get into all of those games and some wacky nonsense of the first degree with DS9 going through teething problems and our first Wesley Crusher focused episode.

Timecodes:
11:06 TNG – The Game
33:14 DS9 – Move Along Home
58:11 LDS – The Least Dangerous Game
