Reviewing this game as a whole.
First of all I'd like to say I am reviewing this game as a whole I am not specifying to any particular core for expansion. Star Realms is one of my favorite deckbuilding games. It is best with two players, however you can play with more. I personally do not like playing with any more than 3 players, as the game does slow down when more players are added. Aside from deck building the combinations that are possible in this game are through the roof and I absolutely love that part of this game. This was the first deck building game I played that introduced defense to a deck building game for me. I'm sure there are plenty of others that have defense in them however this is the one I was first introduced defense. Most of the deck building games I have played before was simply deck build, collect points, and/or destroy the other players.

Strategic Unique Deck Building Game
Very interesting deckbuilding game. This game ventures away a little bit from traditional deckbuilding games. Available cards to purchase are arranged in a pyramid with only being able to purchase from the bottom row only. Making purchases from the bottom of the pyramid allow cards from the top of the pyramid to fall to the bottom of the pyramid for purchasing. Certain cards can change the rules as many games do, such as purchasing cards any where on the pyramid.

Entombing is a new feature to this genre of games that really sets this deckbuilder apart from the rest. Entombing is actually set collecting within this deckbuilder. To entomb a card you simply put it aside in a pile to no longer use for the rest of the game. By entombing a card you can not use it's value for purchasing or it's special actions.

End game is based on how many cards you have entombed. The more sets you collect the more vp you score.

This game works best with 2-3 in my opinion, however this one of my favorite go to solo games.

The first at something isn't usually the best at it.
There are much better versions out there now. This was the first of it's kind, he invented the genre, and it's a great genre. But I would bet if he attempted this again he'd change a lot of things. The theme is barely there, as far as deck builders go, I much prefer Lewis and Clark which has an amazing theme and multi use cards which is amazing as well. Clank is also a much better version. My wife likes this game much better than I do.

Aww. But this is my favorite! Maybe it' a sense of nostalgia for me? It was the first deck builder I played.
