This new edition draws on the events of the Clone Wars, providing both a standalone game experience and an opportunity for integration with the original deckbuilding game.

The Clone Wars Edition is designed to be accessible to newcomers as it does not require the original game to play. It also offers current players of Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game the option to integrate with the existing game, adding new cards and strategies.

Players can align with either the Galactic Republic or the Separatist Confederacy, starting with specific decks that include characters and units relevant to their factions. The game’s objective is to outstrategize the opponent using a mix of tactics and card interactions.

The game introduces 90 new cards divided equally among Republic, Separatist, and neutral factions. The card mechanics are designed to reflect the strategies and alliances of the Clone Wars era. Republic decks focus on synergy between Jedi and clone troopers, while Separatist decks utilize an “exile” mechanic that allows for strategic card removal and retrieval, affecting gameplay and decision-making.

Neutral cards feature a range of characters and entities, providing versatile strategies and interactions within the game.

This edition maintains the capability to be mixed with cards from the original game, allowing players to customize their decks further and explore different combinations and strategies.

The Clone Wars Edition of Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is scheduled for release in August, with pre-orders available through various channels, including online retailers and local game stores.

Unexpected Games Announces New Star Wars Themed Board Game “The Mandalorian: Adventures” https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/unexpected-games-announces-new-star-wars-themed-board-game-the-mandalorian-adventures/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/unexpected-games-announces-new-star-wars-themed-board-game-the-mandalorian-adventures/#respond Thu, 25 Apr 2024 22:47:05 +0000 https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/?p=16370 Unexpected Games has announced the release of their latest board game, The Mandalorian: Adventures, designed by Corey Konieczka. This cooperative board game draws inspiration from the first season of the popular Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.”

Corey Konieczka shared his thoughts on the project: “I’ve always dreamed of making more Star Wars games, and The Mandalorian was the perfect inspiration. I think we really captured the spirit of the show in a compelling way, and I can’t wait for folks to play the game!”

The Mandalorian: Adventures allows players to embody one of eight characters from the series, each with a unique set of skill cards that define their strategic options. Players must collaborate to complete missions, tackle enemies, and resolve dilemmas, each contributing to the overall objectives of the missions.

The game is played on an illustrated map book that helps players visualize the scenarios and settings from the series. It is designed to be intuitive and accessible for newcomers but adds complexity and new elements such as additional rules and components as players progress through the game.

The game introduces a variety of gameplay mechanics, including over 210 cards, 142 tokens, and a hidden traitor mechanic that can alter the dynamics of gameplay, adding an element of surprise and requiring adaptation.

The Mandalorian: Adventures is set to be available in stores later this year at a price of $49.99, and can already be pre-ordered on the Asmondee store.

Fans of the iconic Star Wars franchise can enjoy a fast-paced tabletop game that brings the conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance to life.

In the game, two players select a side to play, either as the Empire or the Rebels. Each player works to strengthen the power of their starting decks and destroy their opponent’s bases. The first player to destroy three bases of their opponent wins the game. With over 50 different cards to play, participants can take control of their favorite Star Wars characters, vehicles, and starships, each with thematic abilities.

Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game also introduces three unique mechanics that are new to the deckbuilding genre. The game includes bases instead of scoring points at the end of the game, bounty hunting or sabotage, and a balance of the Force track that adds an extra level of strategy to gameplay.

Asmodee and Z-Man Games Announce Star Wars: The Clone Wars Board Game https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/asmodee-and-z-man-games-announce-star-wars-the-clone-wars-board-game/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/asmodee-and-z-man-games-announce-star-wars-the-clone-wars-board-game/#respond Wed, 21 Sep 2022 12:43:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=2210 You’ve (probably) played Pandemic before, but not in a galaxy far, far away (again, probably). But soon, you can. Asmodee and Z-Man Games have announced a partnership to create Star Wars: The Clone Wars board game using the popular Pandemic system.

From the article:

Traverse a galaxy where iconic Jedi heroes utilize the familiar gameplay mechanics of the Pandemic series. These, combined with the beloved story and character elements of Star Wars, bring you a unique experience with Star Wars™: The Clone Wars.

Planets under siege populate the game board as players take on the role of legendary Jedi traveling from battle to battle, teaming up and fighting off the Separatist threat. Battle droids attack on sight, and a planet invaded by too many will fall under a blockade, hindering Jedi from liberating it from the enemy or accomplishing missions.

Players must work together to confront the onslaught of droids by moving into their spaces and engaging them in combat, utilizing dice and Squad Cards to deal damage and push back the threat. In between battles, players move from planet to planet, battling more droids, crushing blockades, completing missions to turn the tide of war, and facing off against iconic villains.

Fantasy Flight Games Announces Star Wars: Outer Rim Board Game https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/fantasy-flight-games-announces-star-wars-outer-rim-board-game/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/fantasy-flight-games-announces-star-wars-outer-rim-board-game/#respond Mon, 11 Feb 2019 19:15:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=2596 Out on the fringes of the galaxy lies the Outer Rim. Most people think that it’s nothing but a hive of scum and villainy… and they’re right! But it’s your hive of scum and villainy, and you’re going to become the scummiest scum and most villainous villain that you can, all while operating out on the very edge of soceity. In Star Wars: Outer Rim, a new board game coming from Fantasy Flight, become a smuggler, bounty hunter, or other sort of cast-off from society and make your name in a galaxy that isn’t a fan of your very existence.

From the website:

Far from the shadows of Coruscant’s skyscrapers lies the dangerous Outer Rim. To many citizens, the galaxy’s edge represents a hive of scum and villainy that is better left ignored. But to the scoundrels of the galaxy, the Outer Rim represents opportunity. If you can survive the harsh conditions of the edge of space, you may just find yourself emerging from the grime of the underworld as one of the most famous scoundrels in the galaxy.

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Star Wars™: Outer Rim, a game of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers for one to four players!

In Outer Rim, you take on the role of an underworld denizen, setting out to make your mark on the galaxy. You’ll travel the Outer Rim in your personal ship, hire legendary Star Wars characters to join your crew, and try to become the most famous (or infamous) outlaw in the galaxy!

But it won’t be easy. The warring factions of the galaxy roam the Outer Rim, hunting down the scum that have proven to be a thorn in their side, and other scoundrels looking to make their mark see you as the perfect target to bring down and bolster their own reputation. Do you have what it takes to survive in the Outer Rim and become a living legend?

Location dossiers for iconic worlds such as Alderaan, Jedha, Dathomir, and more contribute terrific source material for your tales of danger and adventure. Additionally, extensive information on every level of the organization of the Empire gives players and Game Masters a solid background foundation for stories of desperate fringers, brave Rebels, or nascent Force-users.
