Clue

The Star Trek Tokens collection, which includes the Clue card numbered 22, was produced in the mid-1990s during a peak era of Star Trek merchandising. These tokens were issued as promotional collectibles, designed to capture the interest of fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the broader franchise. They reflect the era's trend of using small, tactile items to foster community among science fiction enthusiasts, acting as both game pieces and standalone keepsakes.

The design of these tokens leaned into the aesthetic established by the television series, utilizing iconography and terminology familiar to viewers of the era. While individual illustrators are rarely credited for these promotional sets, the art direction was supervised by corporate design teams aiming for consistent branding across Paramount’s licensing efforts. The collection was generally received as a modest but earnest contribution to the dense market of franchise memorabilia.
