A Handful of Stars
Players lead competing interstellar factions, exploring star systems, expanding their influence, and fighting for control of resources and territory. Gameplay centers on deck-building: players acquire cards, customize their fleets and abilities, and play hands to perform actions such as movement, combat, colonization, and development. Rounds blend strategic planning with tactical card play as players balance exploration, military pressure, and economic growth across a shared map of star systems.
