Since its debut in 1977, Star Wars has gone from one movie into a full-blown pop culture phenomenon with a successful film franchise, animated series like “The Bad Batch” and “The Clone Wars,” video games, action figures and toys, holiday gifts and even tabletop trading card games.
Available for pre-order for $34.99 at Asmodee, “Star Wars: Unlimited – Spark of Rebellion” is a fast-paced trading card game that’s suitable for players ages 12 and up. It’s a two-player game where players go head-to-head in battles that are full of Star Wars characters, like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Boba Fett, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and others.
Here’s a general overview of how to play: Players build a 50-card deck with one leader card, like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader, and one base card, like Command Center or Administrator’s Tower. The object of the game is to gather resource cards, gain experience cards and draw attack cards to deplete the number value of your opponents base card.
Meanwhile, tokens are used to upgrade the values of your cards. “Spark of the Rebellion” is the first set in a new trilogy of card games, while it features characters from the beginning of the Galactic Civil War with characters and locations from the original “Star Wars” trilogy, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” “Star Wars: Rebels” and others storylines.
The other parts of the tabletop card game trilogy “Shadows of the Galaxy” and “Twilight of the Republic” are set for release later in 2024. Once you’ve mastered how to play, you can expand your card collection with the “Spark of Rebellion”
