Star Realms: Frontiers – Card Game Expansion for Adults and Kids – 1-4 Players – Card Games for Family – 20-45 Mins of Gameplay – Games for Family Game Night – Card Games for Kids and Adults Ages 12+

Really nice and fun game with lots of variety.

After watching a YouTube video and a few practice rounds we really started to enjoy this game!

Pretty great more duplicates than colony wars so a little less variety , play style is geared more towards using one main faction but over fun and 4 can play so hey why not? Boss cards look cool too

Had a great time.

Ive played a few deck builders that are mainly going for the most points, this is head to head (with rules for free-for-all and teams). Pretty well balanced, interesting mechanics, and fun!

Great expansion for a great game. Really expands on the differences between the factions.

This is perfect, whether you like the base game and want to add to it or its a perfect stand alone game, definitely recommend!!!

really good card game for 2

Great game for solo play

This game packs a LOT of value in a small box! Its a deck building game where all players start with decks of the same weak cards. Some cards give you points to buy better cards, some give you points to use against the enemy, some give you more life points. The better cards are in a row of five on the table and each player during their turn can use whatever buying points they have to buy whatever they can afford. Whenever a card is bought, it is immediately replaced by a new card from the large deck of purchase cards, so the purchase row is never empty. Then the player uses their attack points on the enemy. This goes on until the enemy is defeated or the last player is. This version of Star Realms includes several cards that set up an enemy to defeat and rules for how it acts during its turn. This allows you to play solo games against these various threats. Groups can also play against these threats, so each player is fighting a common enemy instead of fighting against each other. This co-op style of play can help avoid any hurt feelings or resentment if you have kids (or even adults) who might get grumpy about losing often. If they get knocked out of the game, it was the common enemy that did them in - not someone sitting at the table with them. Or 2 to 4 players can have a good time just battling each other. Ive never been in a game with more than 2 players, so cant comment on how it plays with 3 or 4. This is a nice small-box game that stores easily but contains a good bit of variety in its gameplay. Easy to take with you to a friends house or to a coffee shop or on vacation! There are a few reasonably priced expansions you can buy in the future if you feel like adding more variety, but this set contains everything you need to have a lot of fun for a great price.
