Star Realms Academy^*

Star Realms Academy is the kid-friendly take on the popular spaceship deck-builder Star Realms, made for 2 players ages 7 and up. In about 20 minutes two fleets duel it out, with no reading required and far less math.

What's it about?

Two commanders face off and keep expanding their decks of ships and bases as the game goes on. Knock out your opponent's fleet first and you win. The icons are designed so that even pre-readers can jump straight in.

What's different from the original?

• No text on the cards, everything runs on clear symbols
• Less mental arithmetic and quick, readable turns
• A pure two-player duel, ideal for parent and child

Who it's for

A great on-ramp for families who want to introduce younger players to deck-building, and a natural bridge to the full Star Realms.

Conclusion

Star Realms Academy keeps the addictive duel at the original's core and makes it reachable for young players. Seasoned gamers will master it fast, but as a game to share across generations it does its job beautifully.
