Proof that cheap doesn’t mean shallow, Star Realms is an excellent sci-fi deckbuilder that pits two players against each other in fast-paced space combat. It’s simple to understand, but there’s a satisfying tactical depth to the gameplay and universe as players purchase new bases and ships and boost their trade or combat prowess in an attempt to whittle their opponent’s authority down to zero. What’s even better is that the sets can be combined to support up to six players and two-player matches can be completed in 20 minutes, making it an ideal travel game, too.
