Where do you get your ideas?

When we think of a game or product that we would love to buy or own ourselves, but nobody else makes or sells.

When will you be creating [insert suggestion] ?

We are designing new products all the time, but we will only announce each one after it has been fully completed, licensed and is ready to ship. We don’t believe in teasing you with product ideas that are not ready to market.

How should I interpret inverted cards?

Many readers generally take their meaning as being lessened, without necessarily becoming the strict opposite. Certain cards can have their own distinct inverted meanings. But this is very much a matter of personal style, and should be left up to the reader.

How do stardates work?

Stardates were originally created as a subtle reminder that every Star Trek episode unfolds in the future, without being tied to any specific calendar date. They weren’t initially intended to be examined in close detail. The producers of the original series just picked some starting number and increased it by an arbitrary amount each episode. They didn’t anticipate that the episodes wouldn’t be shown in the order in which they were filmed, and they certainly never expected the fan scrutiny that they have undergone since then.

From The Next Generation onward, stardates have been treated much more carefully. For the full details of the current system, see Mike and Denise Okuda’s book, Star Trek Chronology.

Does a flush beat a straight?

Yes. Winning poker hands, in order, are:

• Royal Flush
• Straight Flush
• Four of a Kind
• Full House
• Flush
• Straight
• Three of a Kind
• Two Pair
• One Pair
• High Card

If two hands match, break ties with the highest card, then second highest card, etc. Suits do not matter.
