The Rebel Alliance fights valiantly against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. Each new victory brings the Rebels hope, and each heroic sacrifice strengthens their resolve. Still, the Empire’s resources are vast, and the firepower of its Empire Navy is unmatched. With neither side willing to accept defeat, their war rages across the galaxy…
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. In this easy-to-learn game, you and your opponent each choose a side, playing as either the Empire or the Rebels, and as the game progresses you both strengthen the power of your starting decks and work to destroy each other’s bases. The first player to destroy three of their opponent’s bases wins the game!
I played this game recently with my husband and we both like it a lot even though luck can make a big difference when it comes to which card will come out.
The dynamic is good, and there can be many variations in how to build your deck/strategy to win. I was expecting it to take longer until you can destroy an opponent's planet, but the game can be quite quick, especially if you only play with 2 or 3 planets. We usually play 5 planets as it allows us to build our deck properly and exile some of the weaker cards. Overall quite a cool and not too complicated Star Wars deck builder. Maybe some expansions coming up soon?
