Fantasy Flight Games has recently announced the “Clone Wars Edition” of Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game. 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.
