Star Squadrons: Galactic Trading Card Game

PLAY NOW — FREE IN YOUR BROWSER AND SOON ON STEAM

Star Squadrons is a fast-paced, tactical sci-fi trading card game that brings the focus back to playing with each other — not just alongside each other.

No mana. No traditional life points. Maximum player interaction.

Choose your starting hand, deploy your squadron face down and fight for control across five locations on changing battlefields. The Browser Alpha is playable now for free. Star Squadrons launches on Steam on November 2, 2026 with full crossplay between Steam and browser.

PLAY THE FREE ALPHA

No download. No installation. No purchase required.

Play against other players or bots while Star Squadrons continues to expand toward its complete digital version. The digital version will remain completely free to play for at least one year and will provide unrestricted access to the full tournament version of Star Squadrons, including preconstructed decks.

This is not a limited free demo — our game is being built to remain fully playable for free during this period.

WHY STAR SQUADRONS HITS DIFFERENT

• Victory through tactics, not destruction

  — reach 7 Victory Points and hold your lead until the start of your next turn.

• Card placement without mana restrictions

  — ships, traps and other cards can enter the battlefield face down, forcing opponents to read the board before committing.

• Combat is driven by initiative and reactions

  — tactical ship combat keeps both players constantly involved in every engagement.

• No stalemates. No downtime.

  — the unique victory condition allows a win as early as turn one and keeps every match on a knife's edge.

PLAY-2-CLAIM — DIGITAL PLAY. PHYSICAL REWARDS.

Play-2-Claim connects Ranked digital gameplay directly with real physical Star Squadrons collectible cards.

Ranked Play is already live in the browser and Steam. During each Play-2-Claim Test Month in October and November 2026, complete at least 20 Ranked Matches to qualify for physical card rewards:

• Top 25 qualified players receive a guaranteed physical Star Squadrons card
• 25 additional cards are raffled among the remaining qualified players
• Wins are not required to qualify

The first official Play-2-Claim Season launches in December 2026, followed by monthly Play-2-Claim seasons.

DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL — ONE CONNECTED TCG ECOSYSTEM

Star Squadrons is being built as one connected digital and physical Trading Card Game.

Your digital Star Squadrons account is designed to follow you into local stores and physical tournaments. Results from sanctioned physical play will be credited back to your digital account with an additional progression multiplier, rewarding players for competing both online and at real-world events.

Play-2-Claim rewards, Ranked competition, physical cards, local tournaments and player progression all become part of the same connected ecosystem.

Digital battles. Physical competition. One connected TCG universe.
