Star Trek: Star Realms Core Set (2024)

About this game

STAR TREK™: Star Realms® is a complete star ship combat deck-building game for 2-4 players. Build your fleet! Romulan, Klingon, Dominion, and Federation ships are yours to command. Play head-to-head or up to four players in multiplayer modes that offer versus and cooperative experiences. STAR TREK™: Star Realms® is fully compatible with other Star Realms® products. In STAR TREK™: Star Realms®, you start with a Personal Deck of cards representing your armada. On your turn you will play cards from your hand to gain Trade, Combat, Authority, and other effects. Trade is used to buy ship and Location cards. Combat is used to attack your opponent and their Locations. Authority is your score. The first player to reduce their opponent’s Authority to zero wins the game!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
