I like to think I’m not one sided and only show my glorious victories. I also show when I get crushed as well. This new video is one of the later ones where I lose. Big time. I think this is probably my biggest loss in a few years. It’s total humiliation.

Star Realms: Shock and awe – another nearly perfect game aka how I passed luck off as skill
As you may have guessed after the previous game I followed it up with an even better game. This hardly ever happens, usually I manage to grab defeat from victory. But as this Facebook message from Scott shows after one turn, the cards aligned for me.
So here is this miracle game…

Star Realms a long overdue near perfect game
Yet more Star Realms game play to help you get over that bout of insomnia.
All Signed Up
I wasn’t going to do it, I really wasn’t. But after trolling publishers like White Wizard Games about the US focus of events like their 2 upcoming European Legendary Series events plus an Epic Worlds Qualifying event.
It would have been a tad hypocritical of me not to take part in one of those events that are being held in the UK. Specifically they are being held at this years UKGE
The winners of the Legendary Series events will get immortalised on a card within Star Realms or Hero Realms depending on the event they win.
So I’ve signed up for the grand entry fee of £7 to the Star Realms event to see if against the odds I can join the ranks of the games elite players with my image in the game. But let’s face it the odds are going to be very remote. Luckily it’s the taking part and playing that I enjoy and not just the winning. See the mantra of the first losers club, of which I’m an honorary member.
Star Realms Scott’s Revenge
Continuing my recent series of boring Star Realms games, this one has Scott returning to form and annihilate me.
If that didn’t put you off the game the latest update adds another expansion. I’m not too bothered with the campaign side, I don’t play it. But the extra cards I’ll gladly take.
WWG added in-app tournaments which is going to be interesting to see how this develops, and what sort of costs are involved.
The initial tournament is 20 units of the in game currency an attempt, which is approximately 25 cents if my calculations are correct.
Looking at the prices below depending on the cost of other events I’m reasonably happy with the charges being made to buy the in game currency.
Considering I have won one game and got a reward of 3 credits, the temptation to keep playing to get those foils is tempting. It helps that the cost to enter is low. But is that because WWG want to draw people in to get them used to paying to play? If WWG keep the prices low, then I can see this taking off. But if they get the pricing wrong, and try to milk the players I won’t be using this.
What would you buy? A Star Realms Question
Scott does this sort of post on the Star Realms Facebook from time to time. So I thought I’d copy him.
In the discard and draw piles you have the usual scouts and vipers, plus a Cutter and Mech World.
So what would you buy?
I went for the Embassy Yacht, and hit Scott for 6 damage. Was that the right thing to do this early on in the game?
Scott Schools me in Star Realms
In an ever escalating war of friendly banter I just put up the last 2 games of Star Realms Scott and I played. Sadly the Star Realms app didn’t have the game available that started this off from the start of the week. So no seeing me get my butt handed to me by Scott. But don’t worry I’m sure there will be an opportunity for me to put one of those games up soon enough. After all our stats against each other show that Scott is the better player.

Another short Star Realms video – 29 Life
Not exactly watched by anyone my gaming videos. But hey they entertain me! So continuing my clogging of the internet, and spamming YouTube with content that may just be better than the majority of stuff Amazon Prime seems to be recommending, here is another Star Realms video.
Another Star Realms video treat!
Following on from yesterday’s viral hits, thought I’d show that even with 30 Authority you may not be around long enough to play another turn or two.
A short Star Realms movie
The description for this video over on YouTube says it all really. But I suppose I better repeat what I said there, here because I suppose unless you click through you will never get to read my words of wisdom, and reflections on the human condition.
Over there I said the following:
“I’m just testing the screen recording on the iPad Pro, so thought I’d do a Star Realms game I played recently. Gman usually gets the better of me in our match ups. I’ll put up the other game we had going at the same time where he totally owned me, big time.
Anyway I’ve been in this situation before and the cards have not been kind, and I get killed. This time things went my way…”
UPDATE: I’ve added the promised video of me getting my butt handed to me to the end of this post.
