Yeah, despite the number of Trek boardgames that have been made, there are not a lot that try to simulate an actual scenario from the episodes in this way. Most of them tend to be 4x, or a fairly abstract ruleset with the Trek theme pasted on.
But this game is so specificity trying to emulate the feel of those episodes that I have to imagine it was what the designers set out to do.
The strangest thing about it is that those episodes aired in 2018, and the game took this long to hit the shelves. I know Trek that Trek licensing can be kind of slow, but this seems extreme.

Right? Its not bad that its Discovery. Its bad that it is an isolated story from the first season that aired very long ago and is concluded. Of which the only ramification was the emporer coming with to the prime universe and thats that.

Also, it’s bad because it’s Discovery

It's good that it's a concluded S1 storyline since a lot of us still have a lot of catching up left to do of Discovery. I just started S02E08.
