Description

--- "Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game" is a two-player, head-to-head deck-building game pitting the Galactic Empire against the Rebel Alliance in a battle to destroy bases. Key mechanics include: - *Deck-building* Players start with a unique 10-card deck and acquire new cards from a galaxy row using resources. - *Asymmetric factions* Rebel and Empire players access faction-specific cards; neutrals available to both. - *Base destruction* First to destroy three opponent bases wins; destroyed bases replaced from deck with special abilities. - *Attack and acquisition* Use attack power to eliminate opponent cards for rewards; buy non-opponent cards. - *Capital ship defense* Ships absorb damage intended for bases. - *Force track control* Compete for bonuses like extra resources or "If the Force is with you..." abilities. Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is an easy-to-learn, two-player head-to-head deck-builder recreating the galactic war between the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire. Players choose sides, starting with a 10-card deck (seven resource cards) and work to strengthen decks while destroying opponent bases—first to three wins. A galaxy row displays six cards (faction-specific or neutral sideways), where players spend resources to acquire non-opponent cards or use attack power to remove opponent cards for rewards. Initial bases (Dantooine for Rebels, Lothal for Empire) lack abilities but are replaced upon destruction with special-ability bases from a deck; capital ships protect bases by absorbing damage. Players vie for Force track control to gain resources or activate conditional abilities, emphasizing strategic deck growth, base management, and countering opponent plans amid the Empire's vast resources versus Rebel heroism. ---
