Star Wars: Epic Duels
Pick a Jedi or Sith, build around their unique deck, and duel across famous Star Wars arenas.
Who it's for
You love Star Wars and want a skirmish game that uses its characters in a way that feels like the films. Great for two players who want a duel, or a boisterous group of friends.
Not for you if…
You are not a Star Wars fan, or you want a balanced, competitive tournament game. Part of the draw is the theme, and the matchups differ in strength.
Vibe's take
Cinematic and fairly quick: each side has its own deck personality and the cards push you to play like the character would. Free-for-all games get messy and fun.
About this game
Famous Star Wars duels as a card-and-miniatures battle. Each player picks a major character, such as a Jedi or Sith, who comes with one or two minor characters, and each set has its own deck of cards for attacking, defending, and special abilities. The decks are tailored to the characters, so Darth Vader feels very different from Yoda. Fights take place on boards modeled after places like the Geonosis Arena, the Emperor's Throne Room, the Carbon-Freezing Chamber, and the Kamino Platform. Play one-on-one, in teams of up to three, or as a free-for-all for up to six. The box holds 31 figures from across the saga.
