If you're a fan of strategy card games and Star Wars, Amazon's current deal on the official Star Wars deckbuilding game is something you shouldn't miss. Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is now available for just $16.67, marking the lowest price this year. Originally released by Fantasy Flight Games in 2023 with a $38 MSRP, this game typically sells for around $30, making Amazon's offer particularly attractive.
This two-player card game adapts the Galactic Civil War from the original Star Wars trilogy, with one player taking control of the Galactic Empire and the other leading the Rebel Alliance. Players build custom decks using cards featuring iconic Star Wars characters, vehicles, and locations, and engage in head-to-head matches that usually last about 30 minutes. The game's objective is to determine the fate of the galaxy.
Everything required to play is included in the box, such as 140 cards for deck creation, a rulebook, damage and resource counters, and a gameboard to track each player's progress. This game would make an excellent gift for any Star Wars enthusiast this holiday season. For fans of the Clone Wars, there's also the Clone Wars Edition of this deckbuilder, released by Fantasy Flight in August. Although it carries a $38 list price, it hasn't been discounted yet.
Fantasy Flight Games has also ventured into other Star Wars card games. Earlier this year, they launched Star Wars: Unlimited TCG, set in the Star Wars universe. The game debuted in March with Spark of the Rebellion, followed by Shadows of the Galaxy in July, and the latest set, Twilight of the Republic, was released on November 8. Twilight of the Republic focuses on the Clone Wars and features characters like General Grievous, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, and Captain Rex. The art style of the Unlimited cards is reminiscent of animated Star Wars TV shows.
Currently, Amazon offers deals on booster boxes and starter sets, including discounts of $25-$30 on Shadows of the Galaxy and Twilight of the Republic Booster Boxes. Each box contains 24 packs with 16 cards per pack, totaling 384 cards. All three starter sets are also available on Amazon, each including two pre-made decks, themed deck boxes, poster playmats, counters, and the rulebook. Notably, each starter deck features 10 exclusive cards. Star Wars: Unlimited is designed for players aged 12 and up and offers fast-paced gameplay with matches typically lasting less than 30 minutes.
Fantasy Flight has announced three expansions for next year: Jump to Lightspeed, Legends of the Force, and Secrets of Power.
