Star Realms is a spaceship combat deck-building game by Magic Hall of Famers Darwin Kastle (The Battle for Hill 218) and Rob Dougherty (Ascension Co-designer).
Star Realms is a fast paced deck-building card game of outer space combat. It combines the fun of a deck-building game with the interactivity of Trading Card Game style combat. As you play, you make use of Trade to acquire new Ships and Bases from the cards being turned face up in the Trade Row from the Trade Deck. You use the Ships and Bases you acquire to either generate more Trade or to generate Combat to attack your opponent and their bases. When you reduce your opponent’s score (called Authority) to zero, you win! The re-skinned game features the same strategic gameplay from the classic game. However, it replaces the Star Realms factions with Star Trek factions, including the Romulans, Klingons, Dominion, and Starfleet.
The game box comes with 130 game cards, a point counter, a playmat, and a rulebook. Star Trek: Star Realms is for two to four players ages 14 and up.
