  • Love that there is a podcast

    I have been playing Star Realms on paper for over a year and after a recent run in with Birdlaw have been loving Hero Realms as my app game. Cool that there is a podcast so I can listen to it while I work… and play my 50 ongoing 48 hour matches. Keep up the great work and loving all the Realm Rising content.
