	The Trouble with Tribbles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "trouble" with the tribbles is that they reproduce far too quickly; in the words of Dr.
		Just before departing, all tribbles that were on the Enterprise are beamed onto the Klingon ship by Scotty, where, in his words, they will be "no tribble at all".
		The word "tribble" was a deliberate, friendly tip of the hat to science fiction fans extraordinaire, Bjo and John Trimble, for their advocacy campaign that led to the series' renewal for its third year.

	Tribble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tribbles are small, soft, gentle fictional animals in the Star Trek universe whose cute appearance and soothing purring endears them to every sentient race which encounters them—with one notable exception: Klingons.
		Another possible inspiration for the story is the trouble that Australia had with imported rabbits, which overran the continent causing serious ecological damage, and which were finally controlled somewhat in 1951 by introducing the disease myxomatosis (see Rabbits in Australia).
		This is because they were "ecological disasters", and emitted a loud shrieking noise instead of their normal soothing purr in the presence of Klingons (this may be due to the tribbles reacting to the Klingon's reptilian ancestry, similar to the tribble's natural enemy).

	The Trouble With Tribbles - Articles
		From the very beginning of development on The Trouble With Tribbles expansion, Product Development was looking to put three major "themes" into the set: a time travel/kill Kirk storyline, a self-sufficient "original series" deck option, and of course, the Tribbles themselves.
		You either had to double the number of Tribbles there by downloading new Tribbles from your side deck (1 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 16, etc.) or watch your Tribbles "starve" -- half the number of cards there would be discarded (random selection).
		With a new card type in place, the rules for moving and beaming tribbles could be taken off "The Trouble With Tribbles" incident card (which was then scrapped), and put on the rules sheet.

		It occurred to the designers that their new Tribbles card type could, with one or two minor cosmetic alterations, be the basis for a separate game of its own.
		Tribbles is a trick-taking game that uses the Tribble cards--and only the Tribble cards--from the Trouble with Tribbles expansion (the first set released under Decipher's new licensing agreement, which granted them the rights to make games based on the original series).
		Players are free to construct decks built from these "regular" Tribbles (which come in amounts of 1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000 and 100,000), but the easiest way to learn the game is by picking up the boxed edition.

		The most interesting change between the Trek episode and the DS9 episode, is that in the Trek episode after Kirk sits on the tribble in his captain's chair he first looks to his left (our right) looking amazed and then quickly to his right.
