Star Wars: The Card Game
The game is downright fun! No matter what side you choose, you feel like the decisions you make are affecting the Star Wars universe. The game draws you in by having a good mix of iconic characters/events (Darth Vader, Luke, Obi-wan, etc.) and supporting characters/events that are less well known.
The replay value of this game is great! The base set has enough mix and match possibilities. Even if you don’t want to customize your cards, the base set comes with 6 different factions to use (Jedi, Sith, Empire, Rebels, Scum/villains, smugglers). You can use those to easily build 4 distinct starter decks. On a personal note, this game plays very well over video calls because the other players cards rarely need to interact with your cards in a way that cannot be worked around.
The components are mostly the cards which look great. You also have several tokens that are needed to mark damage and exhaustion.
This game is difficult to learn if you don’t have previous experience with longer turns that are broken into phases and steps. But if you are prepared for that, and can play through a couple of games, the turns begin to move much quicker. But initially, be prepared to take your time as you and your opponent make decisions.
Overall, a really nice game. Looking forward to getting expansions as they come out.
