SUMMARY

The Enterorise crew are again tormented by Q. This time, he tries to tempt Riker with the promise of godlike powers and forces the rest of the crew to take part in a game with no fixed rules and clear outcome. But even when his captain orders him not to use the new powers granted to him, will Riker be strong enough to obey?
