Forge your own star realm! Build up your military through shipping and trade, then use your mighty fleet of warships to protect what’s yours and take what isn’t!
Designed by Magic hall-of-famers Darwin Kastle and Rob Dougherty, Star Realms combines the fun of deckbuilding games with the interactivity of trading card game-style combat. As you play, use trade to add new ships and bases to your deck. When played, those ships and bases generate powerful effects, additional trade, and combat to attack your opponent and their bases. If you reduce your opponent’s score to zero, you win!
The Star Realms Box Set includes all of the cards from the Star Realms Core Set and Gambit Set, plus a game board and two additional starting decks, providing awesome gameplay for 2-4 players. And The Pirates of the Dark Star and the Nemesis Beast challenge cards provide additional solo and cooperative play options! Each box is a complete 4-player game containing rules and 162 cards.
Gameplay
Star Realms is a 2 player deckbuilding card game, which also has a very nice solo and 4 player variants.
The goal of the game is to beat your opponents authority to zero. Youeach start with a deck containing only combat or trade. Combat attacks the other players authority and trade lets you buy new cards from the pool, making your deck better towards the end of the game.
New cards will be added to your discard pile, when your deck runs out, you shuffle your discard pile into a new deck.
There are four different factions:
The Trade Federation, regaining you authority and providing trade,
The Blobs, for massive amounts of combat,
The Star Empire, for combat and card drawing or
The Machine Cult, letting your remove undesirable cards from your deck
Thoughts
Star realms is my favourite two player game. It is small, easy to learn and I love the deckbuilding mechanism.
There is a big deck of cards, so you don't get to see each card every game. This makes every game unique and ensures a lot of replayability.
Because of the different factions you can try a lot of different strategies, although I must say I tend to really like scrapping cards early in the game..
There is also an app available, which has tournaments each week. I enter almost every week to play my games!
If you like two player games that have a lovely build up, and you like the space theme (a bit), you should really try this game!!
