## Description
Get ready for more stellar battles with Star Realms: Frontiers! This is a standalone game from the acclaimed Star Realms series, perfect for those who want to dive into the universe without needing other titles, but it also integrates wonderfully with the original Star Realms and Colony Wars for an even grander experience. Featuring a brand-new 80-card trade deck and updated scorecards, Frontiers is ready to take you to new galaxies.

At the heart of Star Realms, you'll find a fast-paced deck-building game full of space combat. The idea is simple and addictive: use your Trade points to buy ships and bases that appear in the Trade Row. Each card you acquire enters your deck, making it more powerful with each round. These new acquisitions can generate even more Trade to expand your fleet, or, what's more fun, generate Combat points to attack your opponents and their bases. The ultimate goal? Reduce your opponent's 'Authority' to zero! And the best part is that Frontiers isn't limited to the classic duel: you can challenge your friends in head-to-head confrontations or join forces in cooperative modes against the game itself. If you enjoy a good dose of science fiction, quick strategy, and the thrill of building an unbeatable deck, Star Realms: Frontiers is your next stop in space!
