Fantasy Flight Games Reveals More Information Regarding STAR WARS: UNLIMITED TCG
Earlier this year, Fantasy Flight Games announced a new Star Wars trading card game called Star Wars: Unlimited. Since then some additional details have come to light, including official quickstart rules! More recently, the team revealed a new teaser trailer for the game which is set to launch next year on March 8, 2024. In the trailer we get a look at some of the cards.
In addition, Fantasy Flight Games and Asmodee have released a complete product line-up and card breakdown for the upcoming Booster Packs on the official website. I’ll do my best to give a quick rundown of what you can look forward to. The first set for Star Wars: Unlimited will be called Spark of Rebellion and there are four main types of products that will be released.
To start, you have your traditional Booster Packs (although these will have 16 cards!) with a mix of Common, Uncommon, Rare/Legendary card, leader, base, and a foil. Each display box will contain 24 Booster Packs. You can expect each pack to retail for $4.99. It’s important to note that any card in the set can be the foil no matter the rarity. Also, any card has the chance to be a Hyperspace variant which has a different frame that shows a bit more of the art. If that’s not enough, leaders have the chance to come in a Showcase variant with alternate art, alternate frame, and special foil treatment. The odds for these kinds of things can be found below:
Foil Card = 1 in every pack
Legendary = ~1 in 8 packs
Hyperspace = ~2 in 3 packs
Hyperspace Rare/Legendary = ~1 in 15 packs
Showcase = ~1 in 12 boxes
There will also be a Two-Player Starter which includes two pre-build decks (50 cards each) designed to get you and a friend playing immediately. You’ll also get damage counters, paper playmats, and folded deckboxes. As an added bonus, there are 10 cards in the decks that are not available in the Spark of Rebellion Booster Packs. This will retail for $34.99.
If you’re really hyped for Star Wars: Unlimited and live somewhere with a game store participating in events, you can grab a Prerelease Box. This box will cost you $29.99 and includes 6 Sparks of Rebellion Booster Packs, 2 promo cards, rules, damage counters, a deckbuilding guide, and a deckbox. This is designed for prerelease tournaments held by your local game store as a jumping off point.
The final type of product for Star Wars: Unlimited are the Casual Play Kits. These are various kits for stores to get to aid in running Organized Play events. They have prize packs, a kit to be used to make sure that anyone can play in events, etc.
This is not the first time that Star Wars has gotten a TCG and it probably won’t be the last. What do you think though? Does Star Wars: Unlimited have your attention?
