Star Realms: Rise of Empire – Backer Promo Pack
2024 / Deckbuilding card game expansion pack / 2+ players
****
I've got no interest in starting over with new factions in Star Realms' legacy game, but fortunately they recognised this when making the latest generous assortment of briefly-exclusive ships and bases for their loyal Kickstarter backers more of the same old shit instead. Hooray! These made their way to an apathetic eBay before long, where a seller perhaps disappointedly accepted my offer for cheaper than a standard base set.
This is mainly variety for its own sake, but Hero cards are new to me, since I'd avoided having people in my spaceship game before, and it's nice to see more docking action and double faction bonuses. Along with the Frontiers Promos, I've now got enough nu-school cards to separate the two eras (pre- and post-Frontiers) to suit almost imperceptibly different moods.
