Fun for beginners and seasoned players alike, the beautifully illustrated decks let you concoct your own adventures with some surprisingly deep and interesting possibilities<\/p>\n

One of the most appealing aspects of games set in the Star Wars universe is that you get to concoct scenes and stories we would never see in the movies. Whether you\u2019re playing Knights of the Old Republic, Jedi: Fallen Order or the old Star Wars role-playing board game designed by Greg Costikyan in the 1990s, there will be individual moments unrepeatable on the big screen. I know this, because I just won a round of the new trading card game Star Wars Unlimited thanks to a heroic C-3PO wielding Luke Skywalker\u2019s lightsaber.<\/p>\n

On a basic level, Star Wars Unlimited works like most modern trading card games, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering. You and an opponent each have a deck of cards, most of which feature a single character or vehicle, with a number for health and another number for power\/damage. Usually the character will also have special abilities described on the face of the card, which add strategic depth. Players then take it in turns to place cards into the arena and attack their opponent\u2019s forces, and the winner is the player who destroys their rival\u2019s base. Star Wars Unlimited\u2019s starter kit gives you two complete decks, one of imperial forces and one of the rebels, but you can also buy booster packs to start customising your army and creating your own themed decks.<\/p>\n
