A new digital Star Realms set entered Open Beta yesterday: Frontiers Events!
Frontiers Events was a promotional set of 8 new Event cards included with the Frontiers Kickstarter. This article introduces the Community to these new Events, with a few thoughts on each.
The Endurance Challenge, one of several fan-made Star Realms Leagues, just wrapped up its 4th Season.
What’s in a Season: A Season consists of 5 separate Endurance Challenge (EC) events, followed by an Endurance Invitation Challenge (EIC) which includes the top 32 performers over the 5 events of that season.
The Season 4 results!
Season 4 Invitational (EIC 4) Winner: Hypaspist
EIC 4 was a 3-stage event that included the top 32 performers of the 5 events of Season 4.
In Stage 1, the 32 players were organized into 8 groups of 4. Players played each other player in their group once. The 12 players with the lowest cumulative point differential among all their games were eliminated.
In Stage 2, the remaining 20 players were matched up against another player according to Swiss-like pairings (e.g., 2 players with the highest cumulative point differential are matched up, etc.). Beginning after round 2, the 4 players with the lowest cumulative point differential are eliminated, until only 4 players remain.
In Stage 3, the final 4 players play each other 3 times. The player with the highest cumulative point differential from all 9 games is the winner.
In EIC 4, Hypaspist was joined by stips, nearlygod, & Bungo in Stage 3. Hypaspist took first place, with nearlygod coming in second.
Winners of EC 16-20
Season 4 also included 5 individual Endurance Challenge events…EC 16 thru EC 20. Here are the results of those events.

We all love Star Realms, but most of us primarily play online. In fact, there is a whole lot of the community that either don’t own the physical cards, or if they do, have only touched them to sleeve them and put them away for safe keeping. Which is fine. But what happens when you go to a live tournament? What happens when you want to win a playmat, some cash, or even your face on a card at Origins or Gen Con?
Whether you realize it or not, playing the physical game is a much different experience than playing online. So, how can you prepare? How can you transition from being a great player online to a great player in the real world? Hopefully, this article can help with that.
White Wizard Games just announced via email a new Star Realms Kickstarter launching at 10 am EST on Wednesday, Jan. 15th, 2020:

With the release of Stellar Allies to the digital app on Dec. 4, 2019; we have updated the card tier list to include the cards from Stellar Allies.
The quick access card tier “app” as also been updated. That “app” can be accessed here.
This update includes one set:
Previous Updates:
Before we get to the updated card tier lists, let’s talk quickly about the cards introduced with the Stellar Allies expansion.
If you refer to the Megahaulin Card Tier List from time to time, we’ve created a quick access “app” you can save to your phone/tablet (or access via a browser on your computer). Here are a few screenshots.
For access, simply click this link. It will open in a browser, from which you can add the list as an icon to your home screen (see example above). Here are instructions if you’re not sure how to do that.
No, it’s not actually an “app”; you can’t find it in the app store and it’s not installed. But it’s designed for phones and you can save it to your home screen so it opens on your phone like an app.
Suggestions for features for the “app”? Let us know in the comments below.
Look for Stellar Allies to be added to the Card Tier List soon!
