The game is very good, it is a classic deck building game like dominion but with theme and is quicker and less combo heavy. You start with only two different basic card types, a 1 point attack ship, and a 1 coin trade ship. Play cards to attack but also the important bit to add up you trade ships to buy better new attack/trade or both ships. Like other deck builders it is important to scrap the starter ships as you build your fleet so you increase the chance of drawing your best ships and the game has ships that scrap others.
Great overview KC! I’ve played the original Star Realms but have yet to dive into what Frontiers adds. Looking forward to it. I take it you still enjoy it? :)
Saw this Game on TableTop and just bought the Basic Deck and Frontier expansion. I think this game will be good for playing Via Zoom during Corona Quarantine
Both this and Sentinels of the Multiverse have a free digital demo and also a cheap option to buy the full digital version of the games, great for a try before you buy. So cheaper and easier to play this digitally but not the tactile feel of a physical game. For pc and IOS and android game is identical multiplayer and solo and scenarios and reasonable AI for the solo games. Edited after Rolling's comment below.
Hello Kneecapper! Digital certainly is a great option however many may prefer the tactile use of physical cards. As long as you’ve found what works for you, that’s awesome! Cheers!
Agreed, I have both digital and physical. I play the physical one if a friend is round, but for solo I like the ease of setup etc of digital, not that there is much setup. I probably over emphasized the digital but wanted to let folks know it exists. Same for Sentinials of the Multiverse. I edited my original comment to cover your comment. Thanks for all the videos and keep up the good work!
100% the digital is super handy. Similiar to how I play Warhammer Champions. I much prefer the app for one off battles online. No downtime to wait, just action and then I can put it down. Will do KC! :)
Hello, great video! I would like to ask you two questions? First, do you recommend getting all three base sets to have more variability? Second, what are the precise dimensions of this box? It looks quite different from SR and SR:CW! Thank you!
I already have the base game. Do you combine these cards with the base game cards for gameplay, mainly multi player such as 4 players? For Multi player ( more than 2 players) would I be better off with this frontiers expansion or should I just buy the Colony Wars expansion?
This looks really cool. Plus it's both small box and has a very low price on Great Boardgames. Might consider picking it up, but after I do some research into how it plays!
Looks really nice, like you say, really vibrant! I love Sci-fi so I’ll be researching how it plays and I still need to listen to the Solosaurus review. Will you be doing a play through video Adam?
I love Star Realms and I have collected pretty much everything. But as a solo/coop game it is... boring. :/ It’s a 1v1 game at heart and that is where it shines.
This was my first star realms purchase. It’s great solo and multiplayer.
Very cool! Good luck on future adventures!

@@RollingSolo Yes, but I must admit that I only have the original plus the old expansions, not the Frontiers.
Gotcha. Should be interesting to see what Frontiers adds to the game.

Hope you enjoy it! ;D
Just played it on tabletop today and I’m looking at buying it as we speak 😂

Wish we had gotten some gameplay. You should revisit this one. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the feedback Fredo! Can't make any promises but it's noted.

More variability is certainly nice. Do I recommend it? I’d say get one and see what you think. If you want more, you’ll know. 😄
this is my favorite card game hands down. so worth it.
Hey Borden! It's a solid game, good choice. :)
Great video! I will be getting this for sure.
Charlie! How’s it going? Glad to hear this strikes a chord

Hey! I believe you can combine no problem at that player count. As to which is better, I can’t say exactly as I never played with that many players.
For the challenge cards what types of sleeves work? I think someone mention maybe Dixit Sleeves.
Ooo good question! I don’t know off hand as I don’t have this one sleeved. BGG should have the answer though!
Ok
This looks really cool. Plus it's both small box and has a very low price on Great Boardgames. Might consider picking it up, but after I do some research into how it plays!
That’s one of the best features. Small and compact size! Research is key! Dig in :)
Very tempting. Currently have no solo sci-fi game in my collection. What would you recommend?
K. Polok Haven’t player this, but Tiny Epic Galaxies is my solo sci-fi game. :)
That’s a great comparable suggestion! Depends what your after K Polok.
is the box the same size as Hero Realms?
Yep! They’re a similar size.
Not for me but the artwork looks great and even if I don't buy a game I still enjoy looking at them and watching playthroughs. Thanks Adam
No problem Trevor! Glad I can help show you the game. :)
The artwork is done very good, bout buying a game just for the artwork like buying a car so it will stand in a garage
100% agree. It certainly makes me take notice but doesn’t make me open my wallet. :)
Planning to get it.
Awesome! Glad I could help you see what's in store. See you around PJ :)
@@RollingSolo no one's called me PJ before. But I like it.
PumpkinJack88 haha Just shortened your username. You’re welcome ;p
Solo deckbuilder? Try Aeon’s end
That’s why it’s in my Top 10 videos and I also did a Showcase on it ;)
Looks really nice, like you say, really vibrant! I love Sci-fi so I’ll be researching how it plays and I still need to listen to the Solosaurus review.
Will you be doing a play through video Adam?
I’d love to promise you but we’ll have to see. I have others before it. It may find a slot. Thanks for watching Matt! :)

It’s a 1v1 game at heart and that is where it shines.
Hey Jens! I can agree with you that what I’ve played 1 vs 1 is certainly where the game shines. Looking forward to seeing how solo stacks up.
That's a very useful information .
Glad to help you out!
Very cool ))) Very nice )))
Thanks! Glad you like it. Have a good one!
Mmm mmm too fast paced for my group. Too much thinking. Lol
Glad to help Ian!
