Manual — Star Realms: Command Deck – The Alliance

Alliance Command Deck
Rules (Part 1 of 3)

When playing with the Alliance Command Deck, you are Fleet Director
Nandi, legendary commander of the Alliance. While you will be able to
acquire and play cards of any faction, your starting deck and gambits
work particularly well with ✪ and ⊕ cards.

This Command Deck may be played one-on-one against any other
Command Deck, or, you can use it to take on two players playing
standard starting decks!

2 vs 1
When playing against two players, those players use standard
starting decks (eight Scout and two Viper cards). They play as a
Hydra team with a total of 75 ✪. Hydra teams share a turn, may
share trade and combat, but have separate decks and ally triggers
(see Star Realms Rulebook, Formats section).

Setup
At the start of the game, place your Fleet Director Nandi card, along
with your Alliance Procurement and Nandi's Onslaught gambit cards,
face up in front of you.

Note: Your Fleet Director Nandi card is for reference, and does not
count as a ✪ or ⊕ card in play for triggering Ally Abilities.

Alliance Command Deck
Rules (Part 2 of 3)

Setup (Cont.)
You have a hand size of five cards and start with 68 ✪. You may
track your Authority with the included scorecards.

Rotate and/or
flip this card to
represent a change
in the tens digit

Slide and/or flip
this card to repre-
sent a change in
the ones digit. Add
the two numbers in
the circle to get
your Authority
score. This shows a
score of 68.

Shuffle the Super Freighter card into the Trade Deck before laying out
the starting Trade Row. This would be a great card for you to buy, but
watch out, your opponents are allowed to acquire it as well!

Shuffle the other 12 cards (Cargo Boat, Diplomatic Shuttle,
Federation Scout, Imperial Viper, Ranger, [4] Scout, Stellar Falcon,
Tribute Transport and Viper) to create your Personal Deck. When
playing first you get a three card starting hand, and when going
second you get a five card starting hand.

Alliance Command Deck
Rules (Part 3 of 3)

Alliance Faction Symbol
This faction symbol represents both ✪ and ⊕.
Super Freighter counts as a card of both factions, and will trigger the
Ally Abilities of either. Its own Ally Ability can be triggered by either a
✪ or ⊕ card.

Alliance Procurement
This gambit remains face up in front of you all game. It may be used
once on each of your turns, at any time during your Main Phase. When
you use it, decide whether to gain 2 ✪ or put the next ship or base
you acquire on top of your deck.

Nandi's Onslaught
This gambit remains face up in front of you until you use it. You may
do this by scrapping it at any time during your Main Phase. When you
use it, you count as having an additional ⊕ and ✪ card in play
that turn for triggering Ally Abilities.
