Star Realms

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Star Realms is a card-based, deck-building science-fiction tabletop game designed by Rob Dougherty and Darwin Kastle and published in 2014 by Wise Wizard Games. It began as a Kickstarter campaign in 2013. Players try to destroy their opponents by buying cards with trade points and using those cards to attack an opponent's authority with combat points. The setting is a distant future in which factions compete for resources and trade to become ruler of the galaxy. It is similar to other deck-building games such as Ascension and Dominion, comes in a small box with only cards and no dice or markers, and in 2016 Wise Wizard Games published a fantasy version called Hero Realms.
