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.
This week Dustin and Rick talk about the Online Legends Series, Hunting Unicorns, Ways to look at your Star Realms progress, Star Realms Glossary Updates and the current state of Online competitive Star Realms.
Each month we will post an update on what’s happening in the world of online leagues/tournaments.
Interested in joining any of these leagues? Check out our prior post, Guide to Online Leagues, for a description of each league and how to join.
WWG has announced an online Legends Tournament for June 20, 2020. Click here for more details, and instructions on how to join.

Hi everyone! It’s Hypaspist here (aka Ryan Powell) I’d like to talk to you today about something that I find deeply interesting, and lies outside the remit of the traditional strategic articles you see in the community.
It’s not limited to Star Realms, though it definitely applies here.
I’m going to talk through a few categories that I feel are important to getting the most out of enjoying your play and hopefully you find them useful.
We are going to start (in part 1) with broad-brush topics like psychographics, commitment and understanding which talk more about your relationship with games in general and then dive into some topics that apply more *within* any one game you might play.
A lot of what I’m going to talk about requires a lot of introspection and self-honesty to get the most out of and for me, the bottom line is that we play games to ENJOY ourselves. If we aren’t enjoying it, we should look to change something about our relationship with the game.
Defined as the study of personality, values, opinions, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles when we use psychographics in the gaming world, we are really talking about what makes individual players tick. What do they want to get out of a game?
This week Rick and Dustin cover a TON of news. New cards. New Events in the Digital App. News on the online competitive scene and MORE!
This week we pull a previously unreleased interview back from the historical tapes and present it for you. Derek “Aldaryn” Thompson is a long time member of the Star Realms online community and a guy with a lot of opinion that Rick assures me are correct. Listen in for some great insights from a top Star Realms Player!
November of 2014 was the birth of one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on to date. During that month, I had discovered the online Star Realms app and was desperate to talk with other folks who were as obsessed with the game as I was. Thus was Megahaulin born.
We started off humbly enough, but probably broke some copyright rules and as such elected to take down our older episodes till we could get those things sorted out.
Megahaulin Classics is a labor of love that will take some time. I’m working out a mechanism to simplify, but in the end, it is a lot of work to produce even a few of these episodes. I’ve recorded a brief intro to the project and hope that you all enjoy revisiting this wonderful time in the history of online Star Realms.
Megahaulin is back with a discussion around the newly announced Star Realms expansion: RISE OF EMPIRE. Rick and Dustin discuss a wide range of topics include Rick’s HERO Realms Champion Card, MEGAHAULIN Classic Episodes and the current state of online competitive Star Realms!
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.
