Fantasy Flights Games Releases Stars Wars: Unlimited Trading Card Game
Fantasy Flight Games, the creators behind the popular trading card game Marvel Champions, is now set to enter a galaxy far, far away with the release of Star Wars: Unlimited.
The new trading card game will let players take on the role of “leaders” from the Star Wars universe who must rally their troops to defeat their opponents.
“Our team at Fantasy Flight Games has worked so hard to infuse the essence of the Star Wars saga into this game,” said Jim Cartwright, VP of Strategy at Fantasy Flight Games. “It’s action-packed and thematic while also being incredibly accessible to new players. The release of Star Wars: Unlimited signifies not just the culmination of our hard work but also the beginning of an expansive journey in gaming.”
How the Game Works
In the new game, players will draw from a 50-card deck. Each leader affects the battle passively at the start of the game before joining the fray towards the end. Matches in the game will take place either in space or on the ground, which will dictate whether each unit card will be useful.
The first set in the new Star Wars: Unlimited trading card game will be called Sparks of Rebellion and will include over 250 unique cards featuring units, events, and upgrades.
Fantasy Flight will then release three new sets annually. Using booster packs, players can build custom decks that must follow specific rules. The guidelines are laid out in the game’s 24-page rulebook.
“Releasing Star Wars: Unlimited invites players into a whole new galaxy of gaming . It’s a transformative moment for our industry,” said Julien Sharp, General Manager at Asmodee USA. “This game provides an entirely new way for fans to engage with the Star Wars franchise. With its groundbreaking mechanics and captivating characters, Star Wars: Unlimited is the definitive gaming experience for Star Wars and trading card game enthusiasts.”
Star Wars: Unlimited is now available to purchase on Amazon and other retailers.
