"Do not pass Go! Do not collect $200!" But do make sure you listen to this episode of TrekRanks covering the "Top 5 Games and Gaming References" throughout the history of Star Trek! From Kal-toh to Kadis-kot to Kotra (try to keep those three straight!), our Trek panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Jenn Tifft, Caleb Dorsch and Patrick Carlin have a great time spinning the wheel and rolling dice and shuffling the cards on all the fun gaming options featured in Trek. This one is a stone cold TrekRanks classic. One of our favorites! Game on!

Episode Rundown:

• Diagnostic Cycle: A quick review of exactly why we went with the cumbersome "games and gaming references" title, and how this episode is actually a sequel to Episode 104 of Trek Ranks: the Top 5 Sports References.
• Prime Directive: We get into each player's strategy for game play and how they narrowed down their picks!
• The Order of Things: All the picks are revealed with the TrekRanks' original "Five word summary and a hashtag," along with one episode that helps frame their choice.
• Secondary Systems: For a few extra picks that just missed our final list.
• Regeneration Cycle: The panel recaps their picks and we dissect some of the interesting statistical anomalies that arose from the discussion.
• Temporal Inversion: We flashback to a previous episode of TrekRanks and relay some of the feedback received from listeners.
