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…

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.

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.

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.
