Star Wars Miniatures
Pre-painted Star Wars figures, stat cards and point-built squads clash on a square grid in this collectible skirmish game.

Take the Star Wars cast, put them on a square grid as pre-painted miniatures, and let two players fight it out. Star Wars Miniatures from 2004 was Wizards of the Coast's answer to its own D&D miniatures line: every figure comes with a stat card, and you build a squad up to an agreed point total, usually around one of nine factions. Then you skirmish across a modular board, rolling dice to hit and moving your figures one square at a time. The twist is that figures were sold in themed sets, so your collection decides what squads you can field. It is a character-driven skirmish game, not a space-fleet battle.
Who it's for
You love Star Wars, enjoy building a squad from a collection, and have a regular opponent for a two-player duel.
Not for you if…
You do not want to buy collectible figures to play or you prefer a single box that contains everything. This is a collection game.
Vibe's take
Tactical and character-driven. You think about positioning and which of your figures can survive a round, and the dice add the usual drama when a hero lands a lucky hit.
