    The latest Q-related dilemma may not be as difficult to pass as the original "Q", but it might prove tricky for some affiliations, notably the Federation. There are only two ways to get "over the wall," either with two Treachery (not the most common skill in a typical Federation deck) or with Mortal Qimage himself (who you won't want to play with if you're using a Q-Continuum side deck). If your opponent has Guinanimage or Madam Guinanimage in play, he then filters out one Treachery personnel (or Mortal Q) of his choice, making it a perfect setup for a number of dilemmas.

    If you don't care to have a Treachery personnel "stopped," you can take the nullification route instead, with Guinan or Madam Guinan in your Away Team or crew, or by playing Q2image.

    Combos:

    • Q Gets the Point + Center of Attentionimage: Center of Attention has tough requirements but it will fizzle completely if no Treachery or Greed is available. Q Gets the Point will practically ensure that treacherous target.
    • Q Gets the Point + In The Pale Moonlightimage: Your Federation opponent may manage to scrape up two Treachery, but more than likely at least one will be Non-Aligned. Make sure to "fork" the Affiliation Federation Treachery to stall him for another turn.
