So what do i mean when i say the game is good for what it is. Its a 2 player deck building duelling game, there's only so much you can do with that at its size and price point. Does the star wars deck building game blaze a new trail of invention, no, its a pretty by the numbers deck builder. Is it just star realms reskinned, again no. It has it's own wrinkles, and lets not act like Star Realms is that original to start with. Deck building as a mechanic inevitably creates a samey experience, its one reason why the mechanic is never one of my favs. But this, this is fine. Good even and im keeping my copy
This is my first deck building game. And, as a Star Wars aficionado, I really like it. Normally I prefer maps, marching armies I can see, or space ships and minis, etc. but, I brought it with me on a trip to the in-laws and found a young nephew that really likes it too. He won the first game, so, I’m sure I have him hooked for the week.
Good review! I was wondering of this was different enough from Star Realms to add to my collection. I think I will hold off for the moment as this doesn't re invent the wheel and I may already have too many deck builders.
This honestly looks perfect to me, but I never get competitive two player games played in my house. Seems like a great intro deck building dueler for fans of Star Wars. Cool little game it seems.

Appreciate your transparency
Due to time code I sometimes leave stuff out of the video. There's almost always an extra comment down here with some extra thoughts.

Nice. There's somethign genuinely great about how well this plays with 2 people and how fast and full on it is. Glad you're enjoying it

The audio for the first section was much quieter than the rest of the video. Headphone warning!
Yeah, that line accidentally ended up on the soundtrack track which is -30DB to the Voice track which is at 0db. 100% an error on my part.

Bought it. I love all my Star Wars games
Reminds me a little to Rune Age
How does it compare to Radlands?
Not a clue. As far as i'm aware Radlandz is a tabletop skirmish game i designed for my friends a decade ago. So, nothing at all remotely like that?
@@3MBG I was meaning the dueling card game by Daniel Piechnick that came out in 2021
Not played it sorry.
This game seems very unbalanced to me… about 20 plays with different people, and the rebels always win, no matter who is playing.
Weird, i only played it 4 times to review it, but it was 2 to 2.
Good to know someone has actually won!
I would have liked a LCG to be honest. This is a pass for me.
That's like looking at a motor scooter and complaining its not a Truck, lol.
@@3MBG I am complaining? Weird take on that haha.
Seemed like you were complaining that the game isn't something else. I'm not sure how else to read that comment.
Pretty sure Fantasy Flight already made a Star Wars LCG years ago...
RIP LCG Star Wars game. They did do it, but they're not supporting it. Not good for a LCG
