(I’ll note at this point that your units come in three flavors – one for each kind of zone. Now, the Dark player lays out a unit to one of the zones. It is usually better to take the mulligan than not to, as having more options in the setup phase can slant the game in your favor from the beginning. Each player, starting with Dark, may then ‘mulligan’ any battle or mission cards from his hand to his discard pile and fill his back up to seven cards. Each player draws seven cards from his shuffled deck. The battle phase is the most important phase, and where most of the game time takes place as your units fight against your opponent’s units.īefore normal game play begins, there is a special setup stage. Each turn, there is a ‘ready’ phase, then a ‘build’ phase, next comes the ‘retreat’ phase and finally the ‘battle’ phase.
STAR WARS STAR FILE CARDS SERIES
Gameplay consists of a series of simultaneous turns. You will deploy units to each of these zones and duke it out until one player has sole control of two of the three zones at the end of the turn. There are three zones – a character zone, a ground battle zone, and a space zone. In these scenes, there is typically a battle going on on a planet’s surface another battle in space and yet a third “character battle” of individual Jedis. The core conceit of the SW:TCG is that the game represents the final composite battle scene of the Star Wars movies.
STAR WARS STAR FILE CARDS FULL
(A full spoiler list, complete with card photos, is available in Issue 10 if Star Wars Gamer Magazine.) For example, would mean a unit has a build cost of 4, speed of 30, power of 2, and health of 1.) (Whenever I mention a unit card in this review, I will list these four number in brackets after it. There are two other types of cards in the game – battle and mission cards. I’ll cover some of these special abilities later.Ĭards also have an image of the unit centered on the card, and some italicized flavor text below that image. Many cards also have special game text on them. Just in case there were any doubt, however, Wizards has been thoughtful enough to place the letter S next to the speed rating, P next to the power rating, and H next to the health rating. The gambit works, and speed is never confused for power or health. The only reason I can tell for the multiplier is to keep speed easy to tell apart from power and health at a glance. Speed is doled out in multiples of 10, and ranges from 10 to 60. Power is how many dice of damage a unit does in an attack, and health is how many hits a unit can take before it gets discarded. Speed is how soon in a turn a unit moves. Down the left side are the units speed, power, and health. There are only three more relevant numbers on a unit card.

(As expected, you can’t mix Light and Dark cards in the same deck.) On the opposite corner is a light side, dark side, or neutral icon. In the top left corner of each unit is that unit’s build cost. SW:TCG cards are laid out very logically and in an easy to read fashion. These boosters contain no playmats, counters or even rules. The ‘advanced’ game is billed for experienced TCG gamers, and is distributed as two 40-card pre-built decks, which do not contain a playmat or counters, but does contain the game’s official rule book.įinally, ‘expert’ level boosters of 11 cards are being sold. It also contains six-sided dice, damage counters, and a force counter. The SW:TCG is distributed in three ‘levels’ of play: the beginner game box, which consists of a fold-out playmat with all the beginner rules on each side of the playmat and two thirty-card decks, one Light and one Dark. The first set for this TCG is the Attack of the Clones set, and it contains 180 cards, divided into Light Side, Dark Side and Neutral cards. This is a review of the Star Wars TCG released by Wizards of the Coast. It is much cheaper than I have found in stores and has a good thickness for these projects without being so thick that it jams the printer.The following review contains minor spoilers for Attack of the Clones, limited to vague name-dropping when referencing a card.
