Alrightgames: Star Realms – Scenarios

Star Realms: Scenarios

2018 / Deckbuilding card game supplement / 2-4 players / USA

***

Part of the limited appeal of Star Realms is its honed efficiency, so while it's always nice to have more cards, I've never been interested in extortionate expansion packs that add complications for the sake of grifting gullible and/or compulsive fans.

But then Rarewaves was flogging a bunch of unsold packs, and this one seemed like it could be a worthwhile addition to mix things up / ruin games at a reasonable 8.5p per card. Admittedly still more expensive than just writing the rule variants down on a piece of paper and pointing at one randomly, but where does that DIY route end?

It's the most optional of extras, but they fit nicely into the box. When I'm grasping at compliments like that, you know it's a winner!
