This has to be one of the easiest and best two-player games ever! Star Realms from White Wizard Games takes a couple of minutes to set-up and learn and then provides so much fun that you will want to play again and again, straight after finishing the first bout.Â
It includes the classic deck builder mechanism where you both start off with the same cards and shuffle, deal and build your space arsenal from there. There are four different factions that you can buy up as and when they become available in the a market. Each of them giving you different advantages and abilities. You’re free to buy any of the cards from any factions but the more of one faction you have helps you in chaining card abilities together for a longer and stronger attack.
Your health starts out at 50 and is knocked down or healed up using the clever double-sided Health Point cards. Space Bases and defences will help you a long the way, that is until your opponent delivers the motherland of an attack and destroys them and injures as well in the process.
What to play this game with four of you? No problem, buy and extra pack and add them both together as this game scales for complete galactic carnage! A good recommendation on this would be to get Star Realms and Colony Wars (its sequel) and smash them together!
The art and design is on point, keeping the players immersed in the sci-fi theme, and with so many smaller expansions for this game that bring in new twists and space blob turns, this is a game with tons of cosmic replay-ability within it. So much game for so small a price tag! Do it!Â
