DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL — UNITED IN ONE ECOSYSTEM

Star Squadrons connects the digital and physical worlds of a trading card game:

  • Play-2-Claim: Digital achievements can unlock real, limited-edition Star Squadrons promo cards.

  • Your digital Star Squadrons account will eventually allow you to register for local events and tournaments.

  • Your results at physical events are planned to be credited to your digital account with an additional multiplier.

  • Digital and physical players will become part of one shared ranking, event and reward system.

REGULAR LIVESTREAMS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS

Experience regular gameplay livestreams, developer sessions, giveaways and community events through our CosmicCards livestream format on Twitch. Follow the development of the game and connect directly with our team and community.

THE FIRST STAR SQUADRONS KICKSTARTER

Our first Kickstarter will introduce three fully playable, tournament-ready pre-constructed decks:

  • Military

  • Pirates

  • Aliens

These three tournament decks will form the foundation for local events and are intended to remain eligible for official play for at least two years. During this period, we will continue developing the complete digital TCG together with our community.

After the first full digital season, the first annual physical edition will follow and is planned to become available through local game stores. The later retail version will follow the traditional TCG model of individual deckbuilding and booster packs — expanded through new concepts that connect digital and physical play.

ROADMAP 2026/2027

The digital version of Star Squadrons will remain completely free to play throughout this stage of development.
