Star Wars Unlimited
Fantasy Flight Games is thrilled to announce Star Wars™: Unlimited, a brand-new trading card game of endless possibilities!
This is a fast-paced, strategic card game for everyone, whether you are a hardcore Star Wars fan, a longtime player of trading card games (TCGs), or anywhere in between! In this game, you build a deck using cards you acquire from randomized booster packs, and each of those cards has different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. The game is called “Unlimited” for a reason; with over 200 cards in the first set - Spark of Rebellion - alone, there are countless strategies and combinations just waiting to be discovered. Choose your leader, build your deck, expand your collection, and launch yourself into a galaxy of unlimited potential!

Infinite Ways to Play
We’ll go into more detail about deckbuilding at a later date; for now, all you need to know is that your deck consists of cards that you draw and play, your leader, and your base.
Each round consists of you and your opponent alternating back and forth, performing a single action each turn. Almost everything you do in the game is an action, such as playing a card, attacking with a unit, activating an ability, etc. Figuring out which action to use at a given time is a huge part of the game’s strategy, and since your opponent can potentially respond to anything you do with their action, each round is dynamic and impossible to predict!
Another strategic element to the game relates to your play area, which is divided into two different arenas: a ground arena and a space arena. Each unit can only be played into one or the other, which means every battle in Star Wars: Unlimited takes place on two separate fronts.
Some cards are able to affect units in either arena. For example, many leaders - such as Luke Skywalker (Spark of Rebellion 5) and Darth Vader (Spark of Rebellion 10) - have abilities that can affect any unit, regardless of arena. Leaders are powerful cards that can act as a centerpiece to your deck. A typical leader has both an “undeployed” side (where it starts the game) and a “deployed” side, which is also a unit. We’ll go more into detail about leader deployment at a later date, as well as show off who some of the leaders are, so stay tuned!
This game has something for everyone, whether you focus on constructed play or dive headfirst into draft and sealed events.
