Pros

  • For 2-4 players, **Star Realms** is neat, and should fit in a stocking.
  • We used to play Star Realms back in the day when we went out to lunch, but I lost my copy and now there are like 10 versions it looks like on Amazon, so I am not sure what I would need to buy again (please let me know!!).
  • Favourites as of now: ... Star Realms
  • Star Realms uses a pair of cards. One card has 0 to 9 printed down the middle in a column. The other card has multiples of 10 on each of the four sides (0, 10, 20, 30).
  • Star Realms, Flip 7

Cons

  • Games I Dislike and Don't Play: Arkham Horror, LotR LCG, Ascension, Star Realms
  • Star Realms, Hero Realms, and Shards of Infinity are all extremely similar games (maybe too similar).
  • Whereas in Star Realms, all of my decisions are short-term because I don't know what I'll have access to next turn. It's random whether I get a chance to pick up a deck-thinning card or not, and it's really frustrating when your opponent...

I love Star Realms and Hero Realms, but I will only buy retail from them.

I have backed all the early Star realms and hero realms games which I enjoyed.

Least expensive that was not free - I got Star Realms with cosmetic damage to the box for £4 at a show.
