The boss packs and campaign deck are scheduled to be released next year, but the base game and the five class packs recently arrived in my mailbox along with the Hero Realms Promo Pack that I’ll explain shortly. I backed Hero Realms on Kickstarter at the level that would include the base game but also five class packs, two boss packs, and a campaign deck. Also at Gen Con, White Wizard was sharing details about a fantasy card game that shared almost the same rules as Star Realms, but this game would also have an RPG element using class packs. The game mechanics were fairly straightforward and easy to pick up, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at its replayability with the various expansion packs and rule variants.
I’d gotten to play it at Gen Con 2016, and I felt it was something my oldest son (age 9) would enjoy. A few months back, I wrote about the Star Realms deck-building game from White Wizard Games.
