Talked about many times, my Breakfast Pack Co-Host and Card Squadron winger Gregory ‘Gains Bounty’ Cass from @eyeoncanon returns to talk about Fantasy Flight Game’s foray back into the world of TCG’s - STAR WARS UNLIMITED.

In late 2023 Fantasy Flight games, no stranger to Star Wars card games, released Star Wars Unlimited, a new collectible card game that pits two or more players in combat to see who can outwit and outlast the other. Chosing a Leader and a base, players build decks around different aspects and square off against each other using ground and space units, upgrades, events bounties and smuggling in attempt to destroy their opponent’s base. Each round, players draw cards, add resources to play more powerful cards, counter their opponents moves and ready leaders to turn the tide of the game.
Since this is a collectible card game like Magic, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, you can begin with a starter deck and build decks of your own through booster packs and boxes. Stores can host events with special pack giveaways and major conventions across the U.S. have seen event exclusives which lure collectors in droves.
The first set, Spark of the Rebellion quickly became popular and hard to find soon after its release. The second set, Shadows of the Galaxy has explained the gameplay somewhat, and has helped sustain the game’s popularity. FFG did put out a roadmap earlier and announced their development schedule which puts about 3 sets or seasons out per year.
In November we will return to the prequels with ‘Twilight of the Republic.
In 2025 the three sets announced are Jump to Lightspeed, Legends of the Force, and Secrets of Power.
