About the game
What you do in a play session
Starfighter is a two-player space combat game where you need to assemble card combinations to attack your opponent. The twist here is that card effects trigger not only when you play them but also when they become visible again after being covered. This opens up room for crazy combos and surprise moves! The game is quick (30 minutes) and has a fun 'take that' vibe. If you like card games with direct strategy and a touch of controlled chaos, Starfighter might be your jam.
