About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an extra dose of Star Realms action with the Command Decks! If you enjoy the Star Realms universe and want to spice up your games, this expansion brings 18 new cards for you to take on the role of a legendary Commander. Each of these decks, like 'The Coalition', gives you a custom 12-card starting deck, including cards from your commander's favorite factions, plus a powerful mega-ship and two unique Gambit cards to turn the tide.

And that's not all! You also receive a Commander card that sets your hand size and starting Authority, and two easy-to-use score trackers. With this arsenal, you can face other commanders in epic duels or even act as a raid boss, taking on multiple players with standard decks. It's a chance to dive even deeper into Star Realms strategy, experimenting with new tactics and challenges. Perfect for existing fans of the series looking for more variety and power in their space battles.
