White Wizard Games Star Realms: Colony Wars

Its a good idea to get this expansion when buying the original. Having the expansion allows you to play with 3 to 4 players. Plus the game gets more interesting when there are more than 2 players.

Family really like Star Realms, so got this expansion so we could play 3 or 4 players or 2 games with 2 players. Pretty much the same game as Star Realms with a little variation with the ships and base/outposts. Like the theme of the game and the graphics on the cards are good. Like that you can win with different factions and faction combos (no one faction is overpowering), so games are usually different. Only issues are that the card stock is lower quality and more flimsy than the Star Realm cards I already have. I like and dont like the card box. It is nice because it is very portable but it is not great quality and after a few weeks am already taping the box to keep it together. Would like something more study to protect the cards. Overall, it is an enjoyable game.

Loved the original Star Realms so this was a must have. As you could guess by the name, this set is base heavy, and after mixing the two together, found it very balanced.. though the deck was quite large.

Easy to play and very simple to learn.

Very entertaining game, this is my second deck so I can play with more than two people.

it came intact but damaged

Well balenced, easy enough to learn, in-depth and evolving strategy

I think I preferred the original more, but I do like how I can either play it as a standalone or as an expansion to the original game. Keeps a lot of the original ideas around, while having more balance and variations on existing and new cards. Getting this expansion also helps when filling out players more than 2, and is definitely worth the purchase.

Excellent

One of the best, short play time strategy games out there. I have been very impressed. I was specifically looking for a 2-person strategy game that we could take on the go without bringing a massive box with us everywhere we went. This definitely achieved that. Can see us playing this for years to come. Highly recommended. I bought a second set so we could play with 4 people and that is amazing gameplay as well.
