I’m pleased to announce that we’re just a couple days away from the BGG Star Realms League – the oldest running Star Realms competition – beginning its 50th season of play on 1 July. This is not only a major milestone for the League, but it also marks the implementation of the biggest set of changes to the League during my tenure as League Commissioner and possibly in the entire history of the League.
WWG recently ran an online Star Realms Legends Series Event, on June 20, 2020. While there have been a couple online Legends events in the past (which were fan-run), this was WWG’s first official foray into the online tournament scene.
It began with 125 players battling through 7 Swiss rounds, after which the Top 8 would advance to a final single elimination round. The winner of that final single elimination round would be crowned the newest Legend!
After the 7 Swiss rounds, a clear Top 8 emerged…no tie-breakers needed. Continue reading

In part 1, (which you can find Here) we talked about having a healthy approach to gaming, and how that pertained to your approach to any given game of Star Realms outside of an actual game.
Today, we are going to focus more on some facets that relate directly to any given game of Star Realms you might play.
Each month we will post an update on what’s happening in the world of online leagues/tournaments.

Rob and Debbie of White Wizard Games (WWG) announced the next “big thing” for Star Realms during their April 28, 2020 live stream:
A competitive 2-player legacy-style game with the working title, “Rise of Empire.”
Rise of Empire will be a prequel to the original Base Set, focusing on the birth of the Star Empire faction and its rebellion from the Trade Federation. Rise of Empire hits Kickstarter in Fall 2020, according to Rob.

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.
