Star Realms: Gambit Set

About this expansion

Star Realms: Gambit Set is a 2014 expansion for 1–6 players, with games lasting about 20 minutes. It adds new cards, special abilities, and challenges for solo, cooperative, and multiplayer play.

The set contains 18 new cards, including two Solo Challenge cards and two Cooperative Challenge cards. Solo players can face the Nemesis Beast or the Pirates of the Dark Star, while cooperative players can team up against these dangerous opponents.

Twelve Gambit cards give players special abilities they can unleash during the game. These cards add a range of new possibilities to Star Realms without requiring a separate game system.

• Solo challenges: Nemesis Beast and Pirates of the Dark Star
• Cooperative challenges: Nemesis Beast and Pirates of the Dark Star
• Merc Cruiser cards: ships that can act as an ally for any faction
• Gambit cards: options including Bold Raid, Energy Shield, Frontier Fleet, Political Maneuver, Rise to Power, Salvage Operation, Smuggling Run, Surprise Assault, and Unlikely Alliance

The 2014 Gen Con Gambit Set update adds two further cards: one additional Merc Cruiser and one Wild Gambit. Together, the contents combine Promo Set 1 and Promo Set 2, bringing their solo encounters, cooperative threats, faction-flexible ships, and special Gambit abilities into one expansion.

Whether you want to test your skills alone, cooperate against a shared enemy, or add more card variety to a multiplayer session, Star Realms: Gambit Set expands the game with compact challenges and new ways to influence play.
