![]() ![]() In both cases, you are playing against an AI opponent. The two that I have played, Pirates of the Dark Star and Nemesis Beast, come from the Gambit expansion pack (N.B.: this is different from another expansion called Cosmic Gambit, so be careful when you buy!). ![]() In addition to its standard two-player mode, Star Realms offers some solo scenarios. Outposts are particularly useful, because once you have placed one, your opponent cannot directly attack you until they have destroyed it. Ships generate money or attack power, while bases are permanent cards that sit in your display until they are defeated (while also providing many gameplay benefits). Your cards are also a combination of bases and ships. Players buy cards off of a center row that is replenished from the draw pile after each purchase. There are four different factions to choose from when buying cards, and it's highly satisfying to create combinations with them. You play as space empires trying to expand your intergalactic authority, and your goal is to attack each other until one of the players has gone from 50 authority points to 0. Star Realms is not a complicated game: It's a fun, quick deck builder for two players, or for one if you purchase a small expansion. While the mechanical challenges of a game like Dominion appeal to me, there are fortunately other deck builders out there that play faster, are more aggressive, and have more theme. I enjoy board games of almost all kinds, but I have a special love for deck builders. ![]()
