Fantasy Flight Games Announces STAR WARS: UNLIMITED Trading Card Game
I’m a huge fan of trading card games (TCG). I’ve tried several and love playing a few of the big ones like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Magic: The Gathering. Recently, Fantasy Flight Games and Lucasfilm Ltd. announced a brand new TCG for Star Wars fans to enjoy called Star Wars: Unlimited. The game is described as “a fast-paced, dynamic game that is both easy to learn and strategically deep” and has been in development for three years. We know that Fantasy Flight Games plans on releasing three sets per year and organized play has been fully integrated from the beginning. If this has you excited, you can look forward to playing Star Wars: Unlimited in 2024 when it launches globally. Sadly, that’s everything we know about the game. We know nothing about gameplay yet, but I’m sure we’ll hear more about it later this year.
Talking about the game, Jim Cartwright of Fantasy Flight Games said:
Ensuring this game was accessible to all players was key for us, so whether you are a casual player, competitor, or collector, there’s something for everyone in this game. Straightforward mechanics are the driving force behind the design. It’s clean and concise with no gimmicks – a card game in its purest form.
Brian Schomburg, also of Fantasy Flight Games, added:
Having the opportunity to commission new art for every card in this game ensures there will be an exciting and cohesive style throughout. We really thought about what the cards would look like on the table next to one another. We’re proud to be creating something so unique with the legendary characters and settings that Lucasfilm has brought to life in the Star Wars franchise.
Fantasy Flight Games’ Chris Gerber shared his excitement as well:
Star Wars: Unlimited is the culmination of FFG’s rich history mixed with the celebrated Star Wars brand. As a studio, we are putting unprecedented resources across every department into this game. We could not be more excited to get this out into the world for everyone to experience. We can’t wait to show you more.
