Learn how to store and organize your Star Realms cards with the Flipbox Deckbox. Step-by-step guide with tips for sleeved decks.

Quick Answer

The Star Realms Flipbox Deckbox is a compact plastic case with two slots that each hold a sleeved base set. Use the included dividers to separate cards by type or faction, and keep the Mercenary Garrison promo card handy as a bonus.

What the Flipbox Deckbox Includes

The Flipbox Deckbox is a lightweight plastic box measuring 4.25 x 4 x 3 inches and weighing only 4 ounces. It comes with two plastic dividers and one exclusive Mercenary Garrison promo card. The two slots are designed to hold a sleeved Star Realms base set — so if you use standard card sleeves, your cards will fit snugly without being crushed.

Limitations to Know Before You Start

This box holds exactly one sleeved base set. If you own multiple expansions or want to carry several decks at once, consider a larger storage solution. The dividers are basic plastic sheets with no printed labels, so you may want to add your own markings for quick identification.

How to Store Your Cards in the Flipbox Deckbox

1. Prepare your cards: Remove your Star Realms base set from any old packaging. If you use card sleeves, sleeve each card now. The slots are sized for sleeved cards, so unsleeved cards may shift during transport. Sleeves are optional but recommended to prevent edge wear.
2. Insert the dividers: Place one plastic divider into each slot. Position them so they separate your deck into two halves — for example, one side for your main deck and the other for your hand or discard pile. The dividers are not labeled, so consider using a marker or small sticker to mark them. Dividers keep your play areas organized but need manual labeling.
3. Load the cards: Slide your sleeved cards into the first slot. The box holds a full base set comfortably. Repeat for the second slot with the other half of your deck or a second deck if you have one. Do not overfill — the box should close without force. If the lid does not close easily, remove a few cards or check that sleeves are not bunched.
4. Store the promo card: Place the Mercenary Garrison promo card in one of the slots, or keep it separate in a sleeve. This card is exclusive to the Flipbox Deckbox and is a fun bonus for collectors. The promo card is a limited item — store it safely if you plan to keep it mint.
5. Close and carry: Snap the lid shut. The box is compact enough to fit in a backpack or game bag. When you open it, flip the lid all the way back so it stays out of the way during play. The lid stays open when fully flipped — no need to hold it.
