Card Extra

1,000 Tribbles from Kathy McCracken (06/15/2000)

Tribbles are well-known for their soothing effects on the nervous system. So soothing are they that 1,000 of them just might soothe your opponent's personnel into forgetting their most important skills while they stop to pet the tribbles. They'll be scrambling to either get rid of the tribbles or to scrape up enough skills to pass dilemmas and solve a mission.

And if you've ever watched your opponent fill his hand with cards by encountering a self-seeded Ooby Dooby with a shipload of kids, you'll appreciate the distracting effect that 1,000 Tribbles can have on kids - why, they'll just forget all about drawing all those cards!

Combos:

• 1,000 Tribbles + Trouble ... in the Engine Room: That many tribbles will gum up your engines so you can hardly move, unless you have lots of ENGINEERS. Too bad that Geordi and Scotty aren't "double ENGINEERS" right now when you need it most.
• 1,000 Tribbles + opponent's mission specialist deck: Now what happened to that skill you were going to score bonus points from?
