Imagine playing a game of chess where each player could select from 1000 pieces, each of which moved differently. You would select your 16 pieces in secret, and so would your opponent. Sitting opposite him, surveying the board, you would make your attacks based on the pieces you selected, and form your defenses based on the pieces your opponent selected. Of course, you'd have to change your strategy and pieces from time to time, otherwise your opponent would always know what's coming and he could prepare for it by selecting different pieces! It would never get boring, that's for sure!

The cards themselves are spectacular. The images have been pulled straight from the Star Wars film trilogy and have been retouched and refined by our art department, and printed on the highest-quality cardstock available. Also, most cards have 'lore' explaining the character or situation. Even characters only glimpsed for a few seconds have lore officially approved by Lucasfilm Ltd.

How do you play?
In Star Wars CCG, you can take on the role of either the Rebellion or the Empire, and try to deplete your opponent's 'Life Force' by battling him on the ground and in space. Stormtroopers, X-Wings, aliens, droids, and the Death Star itself are under your control as you learn and master the Force and free the Galaxy from Imperial Tyranny -- or as you try to put an end to this 'insignificant rebellion!'

You'll never run out of new ideas or new ways to play. The possibilities and strategies for Star Wars CCG are infinite!

The best way for a new player to learn the game is by playing. But sometimes beginners playing Star Wars CCG can get lost in the complexity of strategy and basic knowledge ofthe game. That's why it is so helpful to have a "step by step" insight on gameplay.

The games really do play like a movie!

You can make the game as difficult as you want. Can't understand a rule? Play a different strategy! Find the Interrupt cards confusing? Play without them for a few games! It's your game, and you can play it any way you want to.
