Star Realms is a fast-paced deck-building card game that throws you into the heart of explosive spaceship combat. Blending the strategic depth of classic deck-building games with the immediacy and tension of trading card game combat, Star Realms delivers thrilling head-to-head battles where every decision matters. Build your personal deck, deploy powerful starships, establish defensive bases and unleash devastating attacks as you race to reduce your opponent’s Authority to zero.
 
As you play, Ships and Bases generate Trade to expand your deck or Combat to pressure your rival and tear down their defenses. Cards belong to four distinct factions, each offering unique strengths and explosive Ally abilities that reward clever synergy. Mixing factions is always an option, but mastering their combinations can turn a modest deck into a finely tuned war machine. Bases remain in play, shaping the battlefield turn after turn, while heavily defended Outposts demand attention before you can strike directly at your opponent.
 
Star Realms is easy to learn and lightning fast to play, yet packed with meaningful choices that reward skill and foresight. Every turn challenges you to balance economy and aggression, deny key cards to your opponent and adapt your strategy as the market shifts. Whether you’re new to deck-building games or a seasoned strategist, the depth and replayability keep each match feeling fresh and fiercely competitive.
 
This complete set includes everything needed for two players and can be expanded with additional copies or standalone expansions like Colony Wars and Frontiers to support larger multiplayer battles. From tense duels to chaotic free-for-all clashes and team play, Star Realms stands out as a must-own deck-building card game for fans of strategy, science fiction and high-energy tabletop combat.
