Red Shirts, the game?
There should be a board game, video game, or RPG called "Red Shirts."
You would be the humanoid, monster, or killer plant on an unexplored planet, and Kirk, Spock, and McCoy beam down with a complement of red shirts. Your goal is to stab, eat, poison, or vaporize all the red shirts before the main characters take you down.
You might be able to wound major characters, but of course, not kill them.
You would play a different menace in each level, and the number of main characters and red shirts would change.
