Gambit Expansion
In the fall of 2014 we released “Gambit, ” our first expansion to the physical card game. We’re excited to announce that you can now get an enhanced version of that set in your digital app too! Our fans have asked us to bring the expansion to our digital platform, and we’re done that and more. Star Realms: Gambit incorporates both the Gambit set and the Year One organized play promo cards from the physical card game.
The game changes in powerful ways with a new type of card — the Gambit. There are nine of them, and each player is given two of them at random to begin the game. When do you use your Gambits? When do you make your move? The war continues, and now the stakes are even higher!
The expansion contains 18 cards: one base and one ship per faction, nine Gambits, and one unaligned ship. It also contains thirteen new missions spread across two new campaigns.
Gambits
The stakes have been raised.
Gambits provide an exciting new way to play Star Realms. Each player is dealt two random Gambits to begin the game. When you need them, they help give you a big boost. Will you Rise to Power? Will you make a Smuggling Run? Or will you unleash a Surprise Assault?
For most of the Gambits, you can use them once and then they are gone. Timing is everything!
Year One Promos
More power, more tricks, more strategy.
The ships and bases that come with the digital Gambit Expansion are ships that were originally given away at tournaments and events as promotional cards.
Highly sought after, these powerful cards add more variety to the trade deck, and can be used together with the Gambit cards, or separate.
Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause. – Voltaire
For a good fleet commander, everything is an opportunity…and at times of war the law falls silent. Take every advantage you can with Gambits, the first expansion for the award-winning Star Realms Deckbuilding Game.
Gambit cards are dealt face down to players at the beginning of the game. You choose each number of Gambits every player will get (usually two), or you can give fewer Gambit cards to some players as a handicap. Players keep their Gambit cards face down in front of them until they choose to reveal them. Players may reveal Gambits at the start of the game or during their main phase. To reveal a Gambit, turn it face up. When a Gambit is revealed, you get powerful one-time or continuous abilities that can help lead you to victory.
