Pressure or protection?
Move ships into Deep Space to launch an offensive, or keep them at your planets for defence. Damaged ships retain their firepower: repairing them can keep them in the fight longer.

01 / THE MISSION
One star system.
No room for hesitation.
Two commanders. Two fleets. Three planets to protect. Destroy your opponent’s three planets before your own homeworlds fall.
STARFRAY is a physical strategy card game. With three action points each turn, build your fleet, develop technology and choose when to strike. Powering damages your own ships too. Is the breakthrough worth the sacrifice?
Push your fleet forward, fortify your homeworlds or invest in technology. With three action points each turn, you decide where to gain the advantage.

MORE THAN FIREPOWER
Build a strategy.
Not just a fleet.
Your strongest move may not be an attack. Combine ships, Stations and Technologies to prepare your next breakthrough.
Give your fleet a home base.
Build Stations at your planets. Strengthen your defence with an Orbital Shield or support your ships with a Repair Dock. Where you build determines which homeworld gains that support.
Invest in your next move.
Technologies stay in play and give you lasting advantages. Improve your repairs with Nanofabrication, or prevent participation damage at the right moment with Reactive Plating.
02 / CHOOSE YOUR SIDE
Who will you command?
Plan your next move with the Terran Confederacy, or turn losses into opportunities with the Void Coalition. Choose your commander and shape your strategy.

Information is your advantage. Once per turn, look at one extra card when you EXPLORE. Choose the card that makes your next move possible.

Even a loss brings opportunity. Draw one card the first time each round one of your Fleets is destroyed. A sacrifice during your own attack counts too.

03 / YOUR FIRST TURNS
Start small.
Think far ahead.
Build your position
Start with five cards. Each turn gives you three AP. Deploy Fleets at your planets, build Stations and develop Technologies.
Choose your moment
Commit your fleet too soon and leave your worlds exposed. Wait too long and your opponent takes the initiative. Choose when to advance—and when to strike.
Break the defence
Bring your fleets together, overwhelm the enemy’s defences and strike at their worlds. Every planet that falls brings victory closer.
Your fleet protects your planets. Send too many ships to the front and you leave your homeworlds open to a counterattack. Find the balance between breaking through and holding your ground.

AP is the deploy cost. Power determines whether you hit. HP is how much damage a ship can take. Damaged ships keep their full Power.
