Halo: Starside
Designer Xahn Borealis
Date 3/11/2008
Players 2+
This is an unfinished deck. It is incomplete, and is not playable.
To play Dvorak: Draw five cards each and leave the rest as a draw pile. On your turn, draw a card from the draw pile and play one Thing and/or one Action. (See the full rules.)

This deck is under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more.

This is a deck based around the space combat that takes place in the Halo novels and the limitations of that universe(Slipspace, nukes, shields, prowlers, etc). This is my first deck, so any help would be appreciated.

One more thing...no Halo Installations, Flood, Master Chief or Forerunners(maybe). It would just complicate things to try and tie this in with the whole Halo story arc.


Special Rules

A player must choose a race and allegiance at the start of the game. These are: Human(UNSC), Human(Insurrection), Covenant(Sangheili/Elites) and Covenant(Jiralhanae/Brutes) Each race has card limitations and advantages, i.e. the Insurrectionists cannot use Spartan teams or prowlers, but can use the Black Market or Piracy to easily procure ships.

Then draw until you have three ships if you are Covenant, four if you are Human. This balances out the whole Covenant-has-shields-and-plasma-weapons against the Humans-have-nukes-and-not-many thing.


Card List

WSD = With shields dissipated. WSA = With shields active
card cornervalues represent ship strength
