Star Squadrons: Galactic Trading Card Game

Star Squadrons: Galactic Trading Card Game is a fast, tactical sci-fi TCG that connects two worlds at once: a digital PC version on Steam and a physical competitive 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 is built to become one connected digital + physical ecosystem:

• Play digitally on Steam to practice, compete, and climb.

• Play physically at local events and community tournaments.

• Earn physical collector rewards through digital performance (Play-2-Claim).

Both sides reinforce each other and form one unified TCG experience.

🧠 Pure Strategy — Without Resource Frustration

• No mana / no resource system

• Minimal downtime, no “dead draw” gameplay

• Hidden card placement = constant mindgames

• Players choose their opening hand

• Win through tactical zone superiority

🌌 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.

🏆 Online Play & Ranked Competition (Planned)

• Fast online matches

• Private matches

• Competitive ladders & leaderboards

• Seasonal resets

Target: Ranked ladder + leaderboards go live in Q4 2026.

📦 Play-2-Claim Physical Rewards (Q4 2026)

In Q4 2026, Star Squadrons will activate Play-2-Claim:
the Top 50 players worldwide earn real, limited physical promo cards via reward codes they can redeem (or trade).

All promo rewards are:

• high-quality, foil-finished

• strictly limited & collectible

• non-pay-to-win
