Star Wars: Unlimited is a new trading card game (TCG) set in the Star Wars universe, developed by Fantasy Flight Games in collaboration with Lucasfilm Ltd. Scheduled for a 2024 release, the game features characters, ships, and settings from across the entire Star Wars franchise, including movies, TV series, comics, and video games.
Gameplay Overview
In Star Wars: Unlimited, the main objective is to destroy your opponent's base before they destroy yours. Players build a 50-card deck consisting of a variety of cards, including units, leaders, and bases. The gameplay is dynamic and strategic, with players alternating turns to perform actions such as playing cards, attacking, and activating abilities.
- Unique Features
1. Two Arenas: Battles take place in two distinct arenas: the ground arena and the space arena, each requiring different strategies and unit placements. - 2. Resource Management: Cards can be used as resources, similar to games like Disney Lorcana, adding a layer of strategic depth as players must decide whether to play a card or use it to generate resources.
- 3. Leaders and Bases: Each deck features a leader card with both undeployed and deployed sides, influencing gameplay significantly. The leader can affect units in both arenas, offering versatile strategic options.
Art and Design
The game features entirely new artwork, created specifically for Star Wars: Unlimited. This approach ensures a cohesive and fresh visual style throughout the game, moving away from using stills from films or older artworks.
Organized Play
Fantasy Flight Games has emphasized a robust Organized Play structure from the outset. This includes casual events for newcomers and more competitive tournaments for seasoned players. Points earned in competitive play can lead to invitations to the Galactic Championship, providing a broad spectrum of play opportunities.
