Star Realms: Admiral's Tabletop Promo Card

Description

--- "Admiral's Tabletop" is a promotional event card from Tabletop Day 2016 offering players a strategic choice between deck refresh or Authority gain. Key mechanics include: - *Optional deck refresh* Each player may shuffle their discard pile into their deck. - *Alternative reward* If declining refresh, players gain 5 Authority points. - *Event resolution* Triggers immediately upon entering the trade row, then scraps itself. Admiral's Tabletop serves as a special promotional Event card distributed at Tabletop Day 2016, introducing a pivotal decision point in gameplay. Upon entering the trade row, it immediately prompts every player with the option to shuffle their entire discard pile back into their deck, effectively recycling played cards for renewed strategic potential and hand cycling. Players who opt out of this refresh instead receive 5 Authority, a valuable resource likely used for purchases, abilities, or victory conditions. This binary choice demands careful evaluation of current deck state, hand quality, and resource needs, fostering tactical depth in deck-building dynamics. The card's inherent mechanic—resolving its effect instantly upon trade row entry before self-scraping—ensures one-time, game-altering impact without lingering presence, emphasizing ephemeral opportunities in the trade row system. ---
