About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to step into the shoes of a legendary commander in the Star Realms universe with the command decks! This expansion, usable with the base game or Star Realms: Frontiers, adds a new layer of strategy and customization. Each of these 18-card packs lets you embody a unique hero, complete with a Commander card that defines your starting hand size and Authority. You also get two score cards to track game progress and two exclusive Gambit cards, which can turn the tide in your favor. The highlight is a mighty 8-cost mega-ship, ready to wreak havoc. And the best part: your custom 12-card starting deck includes cards from your commander's two favored factions. With this power, you can challenge other commanders in epic duels or even act as a raid boss, taking on multiple players with standard decks. It's your chance to upgrade your Star Realms experience and engage in even more intense and personalized space battles!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions

Do I need the base Star Realms game to use these decks?

Yes! These are expansion decks and require Star Realms (or Star Realms: Frontiers) to be played.

How many cards are in each command deck?

Each individual command deck contains 18 cards.

Can I mix cards from different command decks?

Yes, you can mix and match to create your ultimate commander, but each deck is designed to work well on its own.

What is the average playtime with these decks?

Star Realms games are generally quick, around 20 minutes, but with the added complexity of commanders, it might vary slightly.

Are these decks difficult to learn?

The core mechanics of Star Realms are accessible, but each commander brings its own cards and strategies, adding a learning curve. There's a high language dependency, so having translated cards helps a lot.

How many players can participate?

Star Realms is typically for 2 players, but some decks and expansions support up to 4 players. Check the specific details for your command deck.
