Quick Answer
To add the Starfall micro-expansion, shuffle the 25 new cards into their matching decks (or keep them as a separate draft pool) and follow the setup steps below. The included sleeves help protect the cards as you integrate them.
What the Starfall Micro-expansion Adds
The Starfall micro-expansion brings 25 cards plus sleeves to your Moonrakers game, with art and abilities inspired by Fractured Sky characters and artifacts. It is designed to slot into your existing setup without requiring new rules, so you can mix it into your standard game or use it as a curated draft pool.
Deciding How to Integrate the Cards
You have two clean ways to add these cards: shuffle them directly into the matching decks for a fully mixed experience, or keep them separate and draft them after the initial setup for a more curated feel. Both work, but the direct shuffle is quicker and keeps the game moving.
How to Add Starfall to Your Game
- Unbox and sort the cards: Open the Starfall micro-expansion and separate the 25 cards from the sleeves. Sort them by card type (e.g., missions, contracts, or events) so you know which deck each belongs to. Check that all 25 cards are present before you start.
- Sleeve the new cards: Apply the included sleeves to the Starfall cards. This keeps them consistent with your existing sleeved decks and prevents marked-card issues during shuffling. If you do not sleeve your other Moonrakers cards, consider doing so to keep the backs uniform.
- Choose your integration method: Either shuffle the new cards directly into their matching decks, or keep them aside as a separate draft pool to add after the initial setup. The direct method is faster; the draft pool gives you more control over which cards appear. Decide before you shuffle so you do not have to re-sort the cards later.
- Shuffle the combined decks: If adding directly, shuffle each deck thoroughly after mixing in the Starfall cards to ensure an even distribution. If using a draft pool, shuffle the 25 cards separately and deal them out according to your preferred draft rules. Aim for at least three full shuffles to avoid clumping.
- Set up the game as usual: Proceed with your normal Moonrakers setup, using the updated decks. The Starfall cards are designed to work with the existing rules, so no extra rulebook is needed. Announce to your group that the expansion is included so everyone knows to expect the new cards.
