    I'm new to TCGs, and this game has me and a bunch of fellas hooked. Love going to our local brewery sitting down talking cards and playing matches.

    Can you guys do me a big one and share the setup you're using for the top-down view of the gametable? I've been looking to get something sturdy yet mobile and compact. Yours looks like it might just fit the bill!

    • @SWU_KTOD

      IG-11 will be in the next set and absolutely have a "when defeated" ability to deal damage to other units...🤣

  • @M3_22
    @M3_22 10 месяцев назад

    I do have one question I still have yet to find the answer to, let’s say Luke Skywalker shields 3 different units and then you put in a unit that gives two exp upgrades. Is there a limit? Am I technically able to carry as many shield/exp upgrades as I want?

    • @SWU_KTOD
      @SWU_KTOD  10 месяцев назад +1

      I have yet to see a rule that limits upgrades. You can even have multiple shields.

    • @gloth
      @gloth 10 месяцев назад +1

      saboteur text is also "defeat the defender's shieldS", so it was always on the designers mind that you can have multiple. It's not very thematic having one unit with 4 lightsabers :D but sometimes thematic options have to be sacrificed for a cleaner, simpler ruleset

  • @Wosho1982
    @Wosho1982 10 месяцев назад +1

    Such nice chance to ask some good question.. Did they provided you with what you can ask or what?
    1.Why Boba fet has such stats and comes at turn 5 while similar stats heroes comes in 6 like Jyn or Casian for example?
    2.Which hero is that one to work with Galactic ambition?
    3.Will there be more cards like Slave 1 that are really strong in specific heroes, so works kinda like specialization??
    4.Will you be brininging force speed to ruin game again?...
    5.How soon will we have space leaders?
    6.Will Mando be a hero or villain? Or both? or there will be two versions?
    7.Will there be new types of cards like artifacts/enchantment that you are not playing on units?

    • @SWU_KTOD
      @SWU_KTOD  10 месяцев назад

      All good questions, we tried to keep it casual and not ask anything that might make Danny uncomfortable. We didn't get any restrictions

    • @MrOrzeker
      @MrOrzeker 10 месяцев назад +1

      Some of these are baffling, like wtf were they thinking when they chose boba stats, power, cost etc...
      Or not having leaders like han, thrawn or tarkin be able to deploy in space (they're kinda known for that).

  • @rebelresource
    @rebelresource 10 месяцев назад +1

    There is so much in this video… I feel like he was hinting at what leaders will be good without saying it. Could be reading into it but I think Vader might become one of the best leaders.

    Recruit feels like a great card in Boba, especially for players like me that have a small collection. Boba being able to get me that resource back or Bib Fortuna making Recruit free, really helps me dig to the best units I happen to own. Someday I hope to use Recruit to dig for the best unit for the situation 😂

    Interesting that Iden was thought to be strong early doors. Personally I think that she's a bit over-hyped compared to Krennic.
    In the Aggro or Boba match up she is good but she is far too susceptible to takedown.
