About the game
What you do in a play session
Star Trek™: Star Realms® brings the classic deck‑building experience to the beloved sci‑fi franchise. Each player starts with a tiny personal deck representing their initial fleet, featuring Romulan, Klingon, Dominion and Federation ships. On your turn you play cards to generate Trade (to buy new ships and locations), Combat (to attack opponents or their sites) and Authority, which acts as your health. The goal is straightforward: bring your opponent’s Authority down to zero. The game supports 2‑4 players, offering head‑to‑head and cooperative modes, and it is fully compatible with other Star Realms expansions, letting you mix cards from different sets. The Delayed Purchase mechanic means bought cards enter your deck for later use, encouraging long‑term planning. Games run about 20 minutes and have a gentle learning curve, perfect for deck‑building newcomers while still rewarding veterans who enjoy space combat strategy. Components include well‑illustrated cards, authority tokens, and a concise rule sheet. In short, Star Trek: Star Realms blends the familiar Trek universe with smooth deck‑building, delivering intense, replayable bouts.
