Star realms
This has to be one of the easiest and best two-player games ever! Star Realms from White Wizard Games takes a couple of minutes to set-up and learn and then provides so much fun that you will want to play again and again, straight after finishing the first bout.
It includes the classic deck builder mechanism where you both start off with the same cards and shuffle, deal and build your space arsenal from there. There are four different factions that you can buy up as and when they become available in the a market. Each of them giving you different advantages and abilities. You're free to buy any of the cards from any factions but the more of one faction you have helps you in chaining card abilities together for a longer and stronger attack.
Your health starts out at 50 and is knocked down or healed up using the clever double-sided Health Point cards. Space Bases and defences will help you a long the way, that is until your opponent delivers the motherland of an attack and destroys them and injures as well in the process.
What to play this game with four of you? No problem, buy and extra pack and add them both together as this game scales for complete galactic carnage! A good recommendation on this would be to get Star Realms and (its sequel) and smash them together!
The art and design is on point, keeping the players immersed in the sci-fi theme, and with so many smaller expansions for this game that bring in new twists and space blob turns, this is a game with tons of cosmic replay-ability within it. So much game for so small a price tag! Do it!

The Dice Cup Shipping, Delivery & Collection Terms:
We post to the UK only. We also offer collection from the store.
We aim to post all orders received before 12 noon on the following day.
New releases will be shipped, at latest, one day after we have received them into our stock.
During the run up to Christmas and during other busy periods (including when we have a sale) there may be short delays in dispatching goods due to the volume of orders.
Games are sent by Royal Mail or DPD Local Courier for heavier orders.
All orders over 2 Kilos will be sent by DPD. DPD is a next working day delivery service (i.e. Monday to Friday). The charge is based on the rate for the weight of the games. We will confirm that the games have been shipped by email.
In most cases deliveries should arrive one working day after the order is placed (during the Christmas period deliveries may take longer to arrive). If there are postal strikes or severe weather these times can be significantly longer. We reserve the right to substitute one mail service for another if it is equivalent and will result in the games being delivered faster than by Royal Mail. Please note that all orders for large quantities of games will ship by courier.
The collection option is only available for those that are able to come to the store during our opening hours.
Please check Facebook for what these are as they will change as Covid restrictions change. Currently we are open AT LEAST from 11am-6pm each day. Please bring some ID as well as proof of purchase when picking up your games.
We reserve the right to change the method of shipment and there may be a surcharge if the actual delivery cost is great than the amount charged.
