At the end of last year my colleagues and family alike all shared the sentiment “I’m glad thís year is over! It was truly hectic”.

Star Realms is a super fun two-player card game. The only downside is that when we put on the card protector sleeves, they wouldn’t fit into the original box. And the life counters. The life counter cards don’t work. We had received the game as a gift, and included in the gift were two sets of 10-sided die. But we didn’t like this as life counters either.
So, lots of issues with Star Realms. The solutions?
First off, a new box:
