About This Game

Star Squadrons: Galactic Trading Card Game is a fast, tactical sci-fi TCG that connects two worlds at once: digitally on PC and as a physical card game. Both versions share the same unique ruleset — no mana, hidden card placement, tactical zone control, and monthly rotating battlefields.

Choose your opening hand, outplay opponents through timing, bluffing and positioning, and fight across shifting strategic battlefields.

🚀 A Hybrid TCG Across Digital and Physical Play

Star Squadrons aims to become the first fully connected digital + physical TCG ecosystem:

• Play digitally on Steam
  and earn physical rewards through digital performance.

• Play physically at local events
  and later sync your local competitive success into the global online ranking.

Digital play builds skill, visibility, and rankings — physical play builds community, events, and progression.
Both sides reinforce each other and form one unified trading card game experience.

🧠 Pure Strategy — Without Resource Frustration

• No mana

• No resource system

• No dead draws and minimal downtime

• Hidden card placement = constant mindgames

• Players choose their opening hand

• Victory comes from tactical zone superiority, not lifepoints

🌌 Monthly Rotating Battlefields

Each month introduces a new battlefield with changing tactical zones that influence combat and strategy — keeping the meta fresh, competitive, and evolving.
