Star Trek Into the Unknown : Federation vs Dominion Core Set Unboxing

[@MetalThane]

I can't wait to see how far this game can go with all of the expansion packs. I hope this game gains the popularity it needs to go the distance!

[@Crabbok]

Heck yeah!!

[@Galahax]

Favorite Sisko moment... In the Pale Moonlight, where he works with Garak to bring the Romulans into the war. The ending where he's talking to the camera was chilling. As a "used-to-be actor" I often daydreamed about bringing that episode to a theater environment and doing that monologue, it was so good. Nowadays I tell my kids, you take an ethics class in the future.... you need a example of a GREAT ethics story?? Have them watch ItPM!

[@Crabbok]

Absolutely!

[@estevandelgado8329]

One of my favorite Sisko moments: punching Q, "I'm not Picard"

[@korvusknull1447]

[@NobodyNowhere667]

"Computer, erase that entire personal log." In the Pale Moonlight was one of the greatest.

[@vorchacaptain78]

This looks so much better than attack wing. Ship scaling alone is an improvement.

[@trevorhetue3191]

Looks like Star Wars Armada scale which is what I have been waiting a long time to see. Also like the display card to use for all your tracking, less chance to slightly nudge your ship.

[@HCJIGSAW]

AMG: "mimimi...prepainted minis are to expensive..." Wizzkidz: "Hold my Beer, we can do it!"

[@Crabbok]

I know right? Funny how that works!

[@HCJIGSAW]

@Crabbok moving x-wing and armada to them was just an awfull bussines desicion. But i am glad to see we get something cool here. I am absolutely not in to startreck but i will buy this game absolutely. Hope it makes equal or more fun than the dead games...

[@mannyuk99]

Favourite Sisko moment: "Commander, this is extortion..." "Mmm...yes it is!"

[@petervonbleichert9688]

Man, looks like they knocked it out of the park. Great having the team there for the unboxing; generous of them/nod of respect.

[@Crabbok]

Couldn't agree more

[@shaunkrogulski9619]

Those large ships are way bigger than I expected that is awesome!

[@GreyG88479]

That looks great, i can't wait to see more of ST: Into the unknown. Sisko detonating trilithium resin in a planets atmosphere is a favorite moment showing his metal.

[@Dralafi]

Not going to lie, I was on the fence. Now I'm getting it.

[@DanielSolis]

Glad you like the sprue labels! I try to make them standard on all our punch boards.

[@Crabbok]

Such a great detail - it's something I never knew that I always needed!

[@Loxen86]

Awesome work! Keep up the detail and forethought!

[@jarettweintraub98]

I wasn't even aware this game existed until I saw this video; it looks amazing!

[@danherve8172]

So stoked for this. Glad the train seems to finally be rolling. I was secretly hoping that an expansion or two would drop with the core because of the wait, but I'll content myself with what looks like a content packed and wonderfully designed core game!

[@BUChiAlpha]

Okay, you've sold me. This is the first, good unboxing I’ve seen. Now I want to see the game in my hands.

[@MithrandirAv]

I preordered this last January, I think, and have been impatiently waiting, lol. I love DS9, and my favorite thing about Sisko is his relationship with Jake. One of my favorite episodes is Explorlss when Sisko and Jake fly the solar sail vessel. I have so many questions about this game when it comes to accessories and expansions. Can't wait for more!

[@adamm1701-b7c]

Oh my goodness! Cannot wait for this! Thanks, cannot wait for more content too! Favourite Sisko moment has to be “In The Pale Moonlight”, the ending of it just amazing, realising what it would take to win and accepting the demons he’d have to live with… that whole sequence, that whole episode just simply incredible!

[@DStrormer]

I'm out here trying so hard to temper my expectations and then you casually drop this video and I'm right back in 2013 looking at Attack Wing. Don't do that, don't give me hope. Oh, and my favorite Sisko moment has to be the scene from The Visitor when (avoiding spoilers as much as I can) Jake saves him. As a parent that one hits so hard.

[@brians4016]

Interested to see how this game does - I hope it does great, I'd love in-scale pre-painted Star Trek ships. Interesting that Wizkids is putting this out when Atomic Mass said a pre-painted ship game like Armada wasn't profitable...

[@Crabbok]

Yeah that is quite curious

[@jalaksu]

Love the on the spot trek references from the team as your presenting the models ("just not too low like on generations..."), shows a team that love universe and therefore bring that love to the game they have made.

[@darrellharrod521]

Looking forward to upcoming expansion sets. I really enjoyed the unboxing review.

[@sirsully]

Favorite Sisko moments all revolve around his love of baseball and finds time for his favorite game even in space.

[@AcheronBlade]

Got to try the demo at Adepticon earlier this year and John was there to walk us through the game. The love and knowledge of Trek really came through. Favorite Sisko episode is probably The Visitor, great story and acting. Really moving. Also really liked him in In the Pale Moonlight like many others here. The Waltz was also great as it really highlights the connection/disparities between Ducat (one of the best villains in Trek) and Sisko.

[@jparis92100]

Hmm, favorite sisko moment....honestly has to be dealing with the Edington (maquis) and is like "screw it, going to make this planet uninhabitable" and even worf looks at him like "really???" and sisko give him the "did i stutter" look.

[@PinnacleOfDecadence]

Jadzia has influence with Ferengi... Ferengi confirmed. I'm in.

[@jordanbeard6687]

Okay, this does look exciting. DS9 is one of my favorite Star Trek series, and I think it's a good choice for the starter for this game.

[@A_Toastonawhiteplate]

I am currently rewatching it finally in english since before I only saw the dubbed version...we were robbed of great performances with the Dub

[@Ferox2121]

Yes, this looks to be a great starter set. Two things i am wondering about: 1. Why did they put a Constallation-class in it? The Mirandas were THE old style bread an butter ships in the Dominion war and if i have had the choice id have put a Miranda in the starter set instead of the Constallation 2. The selection of the hero photos is strange. Sisko in the transition outfit of late season 3 (beard but still with hair) and Worf in his TNG uniform. Id have liked them to use the pictures of them in the "first contact style" uniforms from the later DS9 seasons.

[@jakoseto3398]

Love the Constellation class workhorse. Always think of it as old and junky but still hanging in there....like the Milenium falcon of trek.

[@rbrentw]

Great video. I pre-ordered using your link in the description. I really hope this releases before end of the year. I'm also looking forward to more information about expansions.

[@acebadgerboy]

Multiple rewatches here - so happy with all the stuff in the set - top job Max, Michael and John ❤

[@troyluv33]

Love to have a promo...one of the best moments for him was earlier in the series when he met Picard. When he told him about his wife and the pain he has compared to how he is during the series was huge. His character growth is one of the best for the show Kira

[@LB5111]

Micheal Dorn aka Worf holds the record for most Star Trek episodes. My favorite episode with Sisko is the pilot episode, when you get to see all sides of him as a character in one episode. The family man, the officer, the grieving widower and single father and the resentment toward Starfleet and his new command assignment.

[@ajlynch123]

Favorite Sisko moment? The end of the episode In the Pale Moonlight. AMAZING episode.

[@ThatBillmanGuy]

Favorite Sisko moment: honestly, it's whenever he's relating to his crew. Usually after yelling at them and giving them a reprimand, but then saying he'd have done the exact same thing in their place. One specific instance (sans yelling) is when Worf came onto the station for the first time and was considering giving up Starfleet, and Sisko related the pain of losing Jennifer and how he wanted to run as well.

[@keithpalmer4547]

Looks fantastic! Pale moonlight is definitely my favorite episode. Followed by the Magnificent Ferengi.

[@BrianBrassine]

There are a lot of Sisko moments, but my favorite was him being more shady to get what he needed was always more interesting than any other Captain, especially doing so while being what he represented to the Bajorans.

[@smmikeman]

My favorite sisko moment was at the end of “In The Pale Moonlight”. When he came to terms with all the crimes he committed to save the alpha quadrant. “I can live with it.” I’m so looking forward to this game!

[@warchild57]

I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on this game. Thanks for the premire of this. Love your channel bro👍

[@swalton7969]

Just got our copy for review (Level Up Board Game Podcast) and showing off at PAX Unplugged. So psyched to get into this and play and teach it to others. Thank you for sharing.

[@Crabbok]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@swalton7969]

@Crabbok seems a little fiddly with all the icons. Did you get the "aha" moment and it all clicked into place?

[@frankgordon7906]

Favorite Sisko moment was when he was going after Eddington and bombed Solosos III, showed he was a man not to be crossed.

[@mattcarper9853]

Oh wait. The minis are in scale!!!?? Holy cow!!

[@Crabbok]

I know right!?!?!?

[@nicholashancock8729]

This box looks so much better and more realized than the preview box. Great detail and seems like a very well thought out game.

[@dr.gigglesprout6006]

Alright, they better make the Enterprise C (Ambassador class) since many were used in the cardassian wars and even the dominion wars in extended. Plus, it would be amazing if they gave us a point or 2 back since it is older. I will buy as many as I can fit in that case. It is my favorite ship in the setting!

[@Corran51]

Love how they have got proper scaled ships compared to Attack Wing, it makes the world of difference. So very tempted by this just for the models alone

[@patrickmccarty6953]

Wow. Finally, the artwork and models have really improved over the years.

[@getawaybot9317]

Favorite Sisko moment was definitely his ending monologue at the end of the Pale Moonlight

[@d.diablo3832]

Awesome! Had tried a demo of it when I was at Worlds/Adepticon for X-Wing and Legion and wasn’t impressed. (Was very impressed with D&D Onslaught when I did a demo of it next door and picked it and some expansions up) But seeing the big ships on the table and that the ship boards have been improved and the dials tightened up had made me want to preorder it Gonna order it while I am at X-Wing League tonight (If X-Wing ever fades this game might make a good alternative 😊) Thanks! Ps that Benjamin Sisko card looks awesome, glad that it is not a promo only but would still love to get one One of my favorite episodes with him is the one where he is trapped with Dukat (Enemy Mine style) Currently watching DS9 with my daughter and we had recently wrapped up that season so it’s fresh still ;)

[@paulgibbons2320]

Is this going to see a competitive scene ? The OP events for Attack Wing were incredible. It was truly a memeorable gaming experience. I would love to be part of something like that again.

[@josephmoberly2109]

I started watching DS9 (and TNG) for the first time because I wanted to know them going in to playing this game. I am halfway through DS9 now and so far my favorite Sisko moment is when they went back in time to 2024 and he was Bell. Some of the characters are growing on me!

[@professorstewart6379]

This looks like a fabulous product. Love that there's so much DS9 in the set.

[@joshuadewberry1557]

This video may have sold me. Loved my X-wing and Arnada, but these are just simply gorgeous models

[@Nimariel]

I’m still holding back on this - I have a ton of Attack Wing and custom ships using that peg system and my own rolling scale. That said, I do like what I see and will likely get sucked in as more ships come out.

[@dynestis2875]

Wow what is this, this seems like a lot of fun! What are the expansion plans for this game? Will there multiple factions to play in the future? Romulan? Klingon? Borg? Also, will there be larger elements such as Starbases or even shipyards? I'd love to see a Borg-themed pack with a Borg Sphere (medium/large?), an Akira-class (medium), a Steamrunner-class (small), and 2x Saber-class (small)!

[@estevandelgado8329]

Yes! Here we go. I cannot wait for this game. Bring on the 'how to play' and more videos!

[@Elgrun23]

My favourite Sisko moment is the whole „Far beyond the stars“ episode. Really looking forward to this game. My universe is big enough for classic Star Wars and classic Star Trek.

[@crimsonorc]

This looks fantastic and I hope the rules are as easy as Attack Wing. Really looking forward to the Klingon faction expansion coming out. I hope there's scope to bring this to the TOS tv and movie eras as well.

[@dynestis2875]

Klingon faction expansion?? Tell me more

[@Agamembar]

Looking forward to it, looking at the size of the big ships they almost seem in scale to the old Eaglemoss ship models. When I have it in hand and can check I will have to see could I suddenly have a spare galaxy class and jem Hdar battleship to play with haha

[@BK_AFK]

So excited for this! My son and I play the heck of Armada, and we've been eagerly awaiting a Trek version. Favorite Sisko moments are his various appearances in the episode "The Visitor." I was finally able to enjoy this episode with my teenage son, and it opened up some great dialog between us.

[@joegroves2517]

Mine just arrived and I'm super impressed just looking at the components. Some seam issues with the battle cruiser, but it's huge! Honestly, fixing that and figuring out some further details to add will be fun. I mean if that ship suffers a bit for getting more detail on the ships with more screen time it's a good tradeoff. The amount of detail on the Galaxy, Constellation, and Defiant are great. I was thinking the Jem'Hadar fighters would be the same mold as in Attack Wing, but even those have a lot more paneling. Honestly, the quality meets or exceeds what we got with X-wing, so I'm also hoping that this is a big step up for WizKids as a whole. They've definitely stepped things up with the final Attack Wing releases too. I was surprised not to get more TNG crew, but maybe if they add in a Nebula then we could get Data and some others? Actually, the Battle Cruiser is so big I mistook it for the Battleship from the Valiant episode. I wonder if they could make something even bigger? But man, if the gameplay shows anything like the care they've put into all the pieces this game is going to be amazing. As for Sisko, I've been thinking about him and the Bell Riots a lot lately for obvious reasons.

[@omgitslolman]

Yeah I will probably get this! Might wait a bit for more ships to come out though.

[@Salty_Sassenach]

I only found out about this game yesterday & resumed the search today. Christmas has come early for Crabbok, dusting off his sweater for the occasion 🎄🎄🎄 The miniatures look gorgeous 👍

[@jamesschofield4255]

Wow that’s one stuffed core set box! Looks awesome. Big question is how much?

[@danherve8172]

A bit weird to have a Hathaway with no Riker and La Forge; looking forward to them in a future set.

[@jlimbac0]

Favorite Sisko moment was when he was rubber-banding through time, attached to Jake. Amazing episode.

[@stlgraywolf4283]

one of the best Sisko moments is the end of In the Pale Moonlight when he realizes that he can live with everything he has done because it will change the tide of the war.

[@jockcop4205]

I love a bunch of Sisko moments. Too many to count. “Fortune favours the bold” comes to mind.

[@cameronseverin7111]

There are so many great Sisko moments, I think my favorite has to be when he decks Q though. After watching TNG and wishing for so long someone would do that it instantly made me love Sisko!

[@ajlynch123]

Is there a release date yet???

[@Crabbok]

Like I said in the opening of the video, there is no release date yet. I have to imagine that it’s going to be very soon!

[@ajlynch123]

@ Sorry I immediately asked before watching the video. I really, really, really hope I can find this game under the Christmas tree. Then I can start handing over all my money to WizKids on expansions 🤣🤣🤣

[@anthonymaravola3966]

So many great Sisko moments. There are 2 that define him as the greatest of all Starfleet captains. From In The Pale Moonlight: "I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damaging thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing, a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant." And then, probably one of the greatest episodes of television, Far Beyond the Stars: "Calm never got me a damn thing!" I love TNG, but DS9 is not only the best Star Trek series, it stands up there with the best science fiction writing ever.

[@hellsfirefreedomtube6984]

9:29 Are they going to come out with other Galaxy class ships with different names other than Enterprise? Or Defiant class ships with different names and the same with the constellation class?

[@danherve8172]

The first expansion is going to have the Valiant, another Defiant class ship, as well as a Miranda (along with some Klingon stuff). So yes, there is precedent for other named vessels of a previously released class.

[@dynestis2875]

​@@danherve8172that sounds great, can you tell me where to find more news about that expansion???

[@dynestis2875]

​@@danherve8172hey, could you tell us where to find information about upcoming expansions?

[@Get_off_my_bridge]

Picard: "Get off my bridge!"

[@lordcypher7922]

This does look cool and if it’s gets more support from the manufacturer than armada it could be the next big thing as sci if fans love space battles!

[@theglorioussweatward6390]

Honestly with the fate of armada im so pumped for this game, just don't generally pre-order things these days due to cancellation fear but will definitely get a copy when its released haha

[@JasonLandis-uz4nc]

Just got my notification that my preorder is shipping. Can’t wait!

[@joshuagardner3789]

so excited for this looks to be a great game!

[@risantia]

Really looking forward to seeing how this plays. It's come a long way since Fleet Captains.

[@Mooney1138]

Favorite Sisko moment, other than going full bald, doesn't even have him in the scene. When the Dominion takes over the station, and Dukat sits down in the commendants office, and you see that Benjamin has left his baseball, so you know he'll be coming back to get it.

[@DarkAutumnScribe]

So looking forward to this!

[@grovermoore4071]

The Defiant's scale changed so many times its interesting to see what each company thinks.

[@dracolic]

Those ships look great. Initially, I had no interest in this, but now I hope it does well and gets more expansions. Although I still want to try the game before I buy it.

[@benjamingrams333]

I liked The Father Moments of Sisko, like early season when he is still weary of Nog and the looks for them in the night to find them in a Cargo Bay with Jake teaching Nog how to read and you see how proud he is of Jake The Game look soooo sick but I'm a little worried how complex it seems and how textheavy

[@nicholasflores4932]

I picked up a preview kit to learn to play but the core box coming will make the wait well worth it!!!!

[@jimseibyl5140]

Cool! I just ordered this one hoping it is as good as it looks!

[@Vornakk]

One of my favorite Sisko moments is his struggle to come to terms with being outsmarted by Eddington during the punching bag scene with Dax. "He played me all right. And what is my excuse? Is he a Changeling? No! Is he a being with seven lifetimes of experience? No! Is he a wormhole alien? No! He's just a man, like me - arrgh! And he beat me!" Sisko REALLY doesn't like losing.

[@SgtSiler24]

Huge DS9 fan. The models look great. Definitely going to be looking into getting this someday.

[@Grey-n6d]

Cannot wait to get my hands on this game!

[@paulgibbons2320]

Ben Sisko says , " Where the hell is my baseball." 😂 Looks great. Im in aww of the art work. That is a very nice standard. Better book a month off work to read the rules 😂.😊

[@davidachs8935]

Looks awesome, can't wait to get my hands on that set.

[@saintcalibre]

One of the best Sisko moments is from "Little Green Men" when Nog is looking at a picture of Gabriel Bell and its Sisko from "Past Tense". And also Sisko giving no f***s about messing up the time line by meeting Kirk and bragging about it to the temporal affairs guys.

[@joeswift403]

When Sisko went back to the Bell riots, that was a real turning point for the character in my opinion

[@jaimesanchez5129]

I am so excited to play with the Enterprise as well!!! Can't wait for the game to release to play it!

[@joshgregory3102]

This looks amazing. The details on the ship is great especially on the small ships. My only geeky problem is the USS ENTERPRISE D was destroyed 2 years before the start of the dominion war.

[@mikenapier3598]

So excited for this game. Making room in the game room for my fleets!

[@mynameisfurstandiamfunky616]

I loved it when Sisko pummeled Q. (Stoked for this game!)

[@stlgraywolf4283]

The ships look so good! I can't wait!

[@ev17dan]

Game looks nice, but my favorite Worf moment is when they were playing baseball, when they didn't make thr call Nog asks what to do and Worf says, "Find them and kill them!"

[@allnitedj72]

wow.. those models look good.

[@stormwalker628]

I'm leaning a lot more towards getting the set as well. I do hope we get some of the original series (The Constitution Class Refit from the movies is still my favorite version of the Enterprise) ships and characters. For Sisko, my favorite moment was his interaction with Q, which really set him apart from Picard (there were a lot of comparisons when DS9 first came out) but the one that I always remember was from the end of the episode Babel, where once again the replicators are malfunctioning and he gets this exasperated look and yells out "O'Brien!"

[@Helmsknight1]

Ok, now This is a must buy!

[@SWIFTO_SCYTHE]

Oh man right in the box set you get Sisko's Pimp Hand - the Defiant and Picard's Galaxy Hotel Enrerprise-D !!!

[@carter358]

I would love to we them make an Enterprise-E in that scale with that level of detail and quality.
