Star Realms: Command Deck – The Union

Having all the same starting decks every game got really old. The same 8 Scouts and 2 Vipers every game. Scrap them all the first chance you get. Rinse and repeat. These Command Decks were a desperately needed expansion.

I've tried all the command decks once so far (either playing as or against) and they're a great way to play with more experienced players to get in to the action quicker. I'm not sure yet witch ones I prefere.

Yellow/green starting deck (12 cards + 2 gambits + 2 score cards), and 1 dual-faction ship for the Trade Deck. The deck consists of 2 ships for both factions, 4 Scouts, 1 Viper, and 3 other unaligned ships. Replaces the original starting deck, which is a very refreshing change, and also speeds up the game. Also, this is the way gambits should have been done the first time.

Our favorite head-to-head/attacking two-player deck building game (along with Hero Realms). Tons of variety can be added with the many available expansions. The command decks are well balanced and add a nice change to the game.

Starting deck with two colors and matching gambit cards. More powerful than regular start cards, so both players have to use command decks.
