Star Quest, also called Star Quest: The Regency Wars is an out-of-print collectible card game.[2][3]
Publication history
[edit]It was published by Comic Images and was released in August 1995.[2] The first set, titled The Regency Wars, had 325 cards sold in 53-card starter decks and 15-card booster packs.[4] Cards signed by the artist were also randomly inserted into some booster packs, and all starter decks included a random foil Homeworld card.[4] It featured art from Frank Frazetta, Luis Royo, and Ken Barr among others.[2] An expansion called Origins was planned for a January 1996 release but never materialized.[2]
Reception
[edit]Allen Varney of The Duelist said it was a "worse clone" of Magic: the Gathering.[5]
