Thanks for asking… I had to go back and check my notes on this one. (We played Star Realms in January for the 2021 Decathlon which seems like a looooong time ago!)
Back then, my research lead me to the conclusion that the common consensus was that Bases & Battleships evens out some imbalances in the base set, so that was my recommendation.
As always, it will be up to each table group to decide on expansions, but let’s go with the same recommendation as last year - Base Set + Bases & Battleships.
Hop on over to the Decathlon Practice Arena if you want to get in a game while we wait for these Le Havre stragglers to bring their ships into port!
