About the game
If you're a Star Realms enthusiast who loves to 'level up' their deck, the Star Realms: Starmarket promotional card is a real find! Originally released at Gen Con in 2014, it adds a Trade Federation base, the Starmarket, to your arsenal. This special base, which costs 4 trade to acquire and has 6 defense, brings a super flexible effect to your strategy: if you played any base this turn (including Starmarket itself), you can choose between gaining 5 authority or 3 trade. It's one of those cards that gives you valuable options, whether to heal up a bit or to accelerate the purchase of more powerful cards. Think of it as a wild card that adapts to what you need most at the moment. It's worth noting that an alternate art version was released in the Star Realms: Promo Pack I, for those who enjoy collecting different editions. Essentially, it's a small but impactful addition that can turn the tide of the game at crucial moments, offering that extra dose of versatility every good deckbuilder loves. It's a card that gives you a strategic 'boost,' perfect for those who want to refine their tactics and surprise opponents with clever choices in the heat of space battle.
