Product Information

In this easy-to-learn game, you and your opponent each choose a side, playing either the Empire or the Rebels, and as the game progresses, you both build up the power of your starting decks and work to destroy each other's bases. Can I take a Hammerhead Corvette and use it to smash two Imperial Star Destroyers together, sacrificing the cruiser in the process? For example, Rebel cards will always face the Rebel player as they can’t be added to the Empire player’s deck. The goal is to build a powerful deck of cards that can defeat your opponent’s deck and emerge victorious in battle.

Next month, Fantasy Flight is launching Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game offering newcomers and old gamers alike something new to enjoy.

Deckbuilding,” in this context, refers not to building a deck of cards before play, as one might do in, say, Magic: The Gathering. There’s a lot to keep in mind, but the way the game plays out, as you slowly build up your deck turn after turn, none of the elements feel overwhelming either. Star Wars The Deckbuilding Game takes full advantage of this fact and enables players to purchase such characters as Boba Fett, IG-88, Lando Calrissian and many, many more. While it left my bases with far fewer defenses for a few rounds, it kept my forces from being overwhelmed early on as well.

Whenever you attack a card in the ‘Galaxy Row’ and discard it you will gain When a card is played, you collect the number of resource counters based on how much resource each card generates.The game certainly takes a ton of inspiration from Star Realms, but from where I’m sitting, Star Wars: TDG has one-upped it. Early cards generate resources when played that you can use to purchase more powerful cards from Galaxy Row. The Empire deck focuses on controlling the state of Galaxy Row while also buffing its wall of ships, vehicles, and troops. The fact that Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is a self-contained experience is both a blessing and a curse.

Though my deck was still meager at the time, I through everything I had at the card and was able to successfully defeat it. Parfois, il n’est pas nécessaire de tout réinventer pour tenir un bon jeu, il suffit d’apporter quelques petits suppléments d’âmes qui apportent des saveurs nouvelles ! For Star Wars fans there is a lot of fun to be had with sending your operatives out into the action; one decisive victory came about after Jabba the Hutt launched an attack on the Imperial base on Coruscant!From simple things like using Sabotage or Bounty Hunting when referring to player actions, to the impressive artwork and descriptions on the cards, it all flows together to make you feel like you’re fighting it out withing Star Wars. The player may only select from cards of their faction, and the galaxy row is reconstituted with cards from the "galaxy deck". Empire cards in the galaxy row are turned to face the Empire player while the Rebel cards are turned to face the Rebel player (neutral cards are turned sideways so both players can read them easily). This shared space features cards from both factions – as well as neutral cards – that players can acquire if they have the appropriate number of resources.

Players take turns purchasing cards from the galaxy row, expanding their own personal deck and then using it to attack each other’s bases.

In Star Wars™: The Deckbuilding Game, a new head-to-head game for two players, the galaxy-spanning war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance comes alive on your tabletop.
