## Description
You know that moment in a Star Realms match where the game follows a predictable rhythm and you feel something is missing to spice things up? That's exactly where Crisis – Events comes in. This expansion doesn't overhaul the basic rules, but it injects a massive dose of unpredictability into the board through a new card type: Events. Unlike ships and bases that you buy to build your army, Events are immediate-effect cards. As soon as they appear in the Trade Row, the effect triggers instantly, without anyone needing to purchase them first. Imagine the scene: you're setting up your perfect strategy and, out of nowhere, a Black Hole or a Supernova appears and turns the tables. This dynamism forces players to react quickly to the environment, as the luck of the market can benefit or screw over everyone simultaneously. With only 12 cards, the expansion is compact, but the impact is huge. You'll find everything from Trade Missions that give an extra breath of cards to Bombardments that destroy enemy bases. It's the ideal complement for those who have already mastered the base game and want to add layers of tension and tactical surprises. If you love that 'what's going to happen next?' feeling, this expansion is indispensable. It transforms the Trade Row into a minefield where every new card revealed can completely change the course of the space battle. Get ready to laugh at others' misfortune or lament the sudden destruction of your fleet, all while trying to build the most efficient deck in the galaxy.
