In the cold, unforgiving battlefield of space, a cunning Gambit can prove to be the most powerful weapon in your arsenal. This pack contains 15 cards for use with the Star Realms Deckbuilding Game and/or the Colony Wars expansion.

Each pack contains:

  • 1 Rules Card
  • 1 Secret Outpost Base Card
  • 13 Gambit Cards: 1 Acceptable Losses, 2 Asteroid Mining, 1 Blackmarket, 2 Exploration, 1 Hidden Base, 2 Rapid Deployment, 1 Triumphant Return, 1 Two-Pronged Attack, 1 Veteran Pilots, 1 Wild Gambit

Gambit cards are dealt face down to players at the beginning of the game. You choose each number of Gambits every player will get, or you can give fewer Gambit cards to some players as a handicap. The extra (unclaimed) cards are set aside outside of the game in a face down pile. Players keep their Gambit cards face down in front of them until they choose to reveal them. Gambit cards never go into the trade deck, your hand, or your personal deck. They have silver borders to make it easier to keep them separate from your other cards. 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.

Amelia V. ★★★★★

Didn't think 15 little cards could shake up our game night this much. The Gambit cards add a layer of bluffing that catches everyone off guard, especially when someone saves a nasty one for the final turn.

Hazel E. ★★★★★

Grabbed this to spice up our two-player games and the new Gambit cards add just the right amount of chaos. Fifteen cards doesn't sound like much, but they shift how you plan your whole deck.

Sofia Y. ★★★★★

The 15-card pack slots straight into the core game with zero fuss, and the gambit mechanic really shakes up the opening draw—my first game had me planning two turns ahead just to use it right. Perfect for anyone who’s played the base set to death and wants fresh tactical layers without learning new
