■ Product Introduction

[Game worldview and objectives]

The game immerses players in an epic battle for the newly discovered outer world and its rich, untapped resources.
Each player has authority (similar to life force) at the start of the game, and the victory condition is to reduce the opponent's authority to 0.
Players will expand their fleet by making full use of the combat (attack power) generated by their ships (spaceships) and bases to attack enemy authorities and destroy enemy bases.
Strategic thinking and skillful deck management will be the keys to victory.

[Innovative deck building system]

The appeal of Star Realms: Colony Wars lies in its simple yet deep deck-building system.
Players start the game with a small fleet of 10 cards, consisting of 8 Scouts and 2 Vipers.
Scout provides 1 trade and Viper provides 1 combat.

As you progress through the game, you'll use trade points to acquire powerful ships and bases from the trade rows to add to your deck.
The acquired cards will be discarded, but when the deck runs out and the discard pile is shuffled, they will be incorporated into a new deck.
Through this cycle, you will gradually build your own powerful fleet.

[Strategic use of ships and bases]

There are two main types of cards in the game: ships and bases.
Once played, a ship has an effect and is then discarded at the end of that turn.
On the other hand, once you play a base, it stays in play and you can enjoy its benefits every turn until your opponent destroys it.

These cards provide a variety of effects, such as generating trade, providing combat, or increasing card draw.
Playing cards from the same faction together will activate additional effects (ally abilities), so considering faction unity when building a deck is also an important strategic element.

All-new cards and new strategies

Star Realms: Colony Wars includes 80 all-new trade deck cards.
These cards feature new ships and bases for factions featured in the base game, as well as introducing new abilities never before seen.

For existing Star Realms fans, the new strategic possibilities these new cards bring will be a big draw.
Additionally, even those new to the Star Realms series can enjoy the game's well-balanced content.
