Index -> Interface -> Main Lobby
Welcome to Star Chamber! After logging in, you will be taken to the Main Lobby. From here, you can access any of the game's various lobbies and features, including game and story information.
At the lower-center part of the screen are the main navigation buttons.
Casual Games takes you to the Casual Games Lobby, where you can create and join casual games, chat with players, or observe games in progress. If you're new to the game, you can go here and try a game or two with your starter deck (though you should first go to your Collection to open your deck).
Tournaments takes you to the Tournament Lobby, where you can join rated tournaments. There are scheduled events happening most days of the week, plus on-demand tournaments that kick off whenever enough players join.
Leagues takes you to the Leagues Lobby, where you can participate in organized competitive play on a less rigid schedule than tournaments.
Campaigns takes you to the connected series of single-player missions, including the Tutorials.
Skirmish Mode allows you to play a single, stand-alone game against the computer.
Deck Builder takes you to the Deck Builder screen, where you can assemble decks for casual games and constructed deck tournaments, or just view your cards to learn more about them.
Collection takes you to the Collection Manager screen, where you can view your cards and decide which ones you'd like visible during trade sessions with other players. You can also open starter decks and booster packs here. If this is your first time online, you will want to go here first to open your starter deck. (Though if you wish to dive right into tournament play, you may wish to keep your starter deck unopened for use in a Sealed Tournament.)
Trade takes you to the Trade Lobby, where you can arrange one-on-one trade sessions with other players. This lets you peruse their collections and offer up trade proposals.
Guilds accesses the Guilds interface, where you can create or join a special player-made group.
Store opens the Online Store in your default web browser, where you can purchase starter decks, booster packs, event tickets, and other Star Chamber products.
The upper-left corner of the Main Lobby contains the Message of the Day. Here you'll find reminders about upcoming events, releases, and promotions.
The top-center section of the screen contains four important links for learning more about Star Chamber.
Strategies opens a window in your default web browser listing strategy articles about Star Chamber. There you�ll find advice for new players and veterans alike.
Articles opens a window in your default web browser listing designer articles, spoilers of upcoming sets, tournament reports, and other pieces (many submitted by players) about the game and its community.
FAQ/Help opens a window in your default web browser to the Frequently Asked Questions page.
Preferences opens the Preferences dialog box. Here you can enter personal information for other players to view (like your contact info), change your sound and display settings, and manage your buddy and ignore status with other players.
The lower-left section of the Main Lobby contains the Races and Lore links. You can click on any of the ten races in the game to open a window in your default web browser that summarizes the race's strengths and weaknesses.
If you would like to learn more about the Star Chamber story, click on any of the expansion set names listed to the right of the races (such as Origins, Incursions, etc.). This will open an html version of the story for that set.
If you�d like to log out of Star Chamber, simply click on the Log Out button located in the upper-right corner of the Main Lobby.
