Star Fleet Battles (SFB) is a
tactical strategy board wargame set in an offshoot of the
Star Trek setting called the
Star Fleet Universe. Originally created in
1979 by
Stephen V. Cole; it has had four major editions. The current edition is published by
Amarillo Design Bureau Inc. as Star Fleet Battles, Captain's Edition. Star Fleet Battles was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming, Arts, & Design Hall of Fame in 2005 where they stated that "Star Fleet Battles literally defined the genre of spaceship combat games in the early 1980s, and was the first game that combined a major license with 'high re-playability'."
