What this is
In Star Realms, players compete head-to-head to create the most powerful deck of spaceships and bases. Players use the Ships and Bases they acquire to either generate more Trade or to generate Combat to attack their opponent and their bases. As they play, they make use of Trade to acquire new Ships and Bases from the cards being turned face up in the Trade Row from the Trade Deck.
