Star Wars: The Card Game will surely be a huge seller for Fantasy Flight Games once it hits stores and, in anticipation of the release, FFG has made the rules to the game available online. The company claims the design is a radical departure for deck building games and here’s your opportunity to get a better feel if that claim is right on the money. You can download the rules here.

From FFG:

Star Wars: The Card Game is a head-to-head Living Card Game that allows two players to command the Star Wars universe’s most iconic heroes, villains, droids, and starfighters. Support the dark side’s conquest of the galaxy, or fight alongside the Rebel Alliance and its allies to keep the fires of freedom alive. Star Wars: The Card Game provides fast, tactical combats; dramatic edge battles; and a window into the struggles between the dark and light sides of the Force!

We’ve already explored how the game breaks new ground with its innovative model for deck-building. We’ve looked, too, at how designer Eric Lang focused on the game’s ability to create “cinematic moments.” Most recently, we’ve reviewed the dramatic bluffing, tension, and consequences of the game’s critical edge battles.

Now, the game’s rules (pdf, 9.9 MB) are available on its support page. Players at the FFG World Championship Weekend were the first to get their hands on the Star Wars Core Set and dive into the rules, but now you, too, can download and explore them. See for yourself how the game’s rules create tense conflicts and force players to make dynamic decisions about how to use the cards they have in their hands.

  1. Typical FFG massive rulebook.

    Love this line: “The Galactic empire has consolidated its dominion”

    I was thinking about building a case for mine too. Still one more set after Dark Ages to come out though.

    A radical departure for deck building, indeed 🙂
