Star Wars: Unlimited – Spark of Rebellion First Impressions
Star Wars: Unlimited is a collectable card game.
Will join the light or dark side to join to destroy the opponent’s base.
A fast-paced, dynamic game that is both easy to learn and strategically deep. This game features iconic heroes, villains, ships, and settings from all facets of the legendary Star Wars franchise.
Star Wars: Unlimited Game Overview
Quick Rules Summary
At the start of a round, players draw 2 cards and may play 1 face down into their play area as a resource.
Players take turns taking one action, using resources to play cards, attack the opponent’s units and base with their own units or claim initiative for the next round.
Once per game, you can summon your main character into the fight.
How do you win?
Destroy the opponent’s base to win.
Main Mechanisms
This is a collectible card game so you will collect and build a deck before a game.
USP
I don’t think this is the first Star Wars CCG, especially if you include the dice game Destiny.
Theme
Star Wars obviously.
Setup
Once you’ve created your deck, you put your main guy and base on the table and shuffle the deck, job done.
Components & Artwork
The cards were sleeved and we used the premium tokens which can be bought separately so I have no idea what the base components are for this game.
I’m not too into the artwork.
Ease of Teaching
It is an easy-to-teach game but as with any CCG, as the cards are different you need to help newer players get used to a deck.
Similar Games
I’ve already mentioned one other Star Wars CCG but any other CCG would work. Magic the Gathering, Pokemon or Disney’s Lorcana for example.
Star Wars: Unlimited Review
Positives
Nice and simple gameplay.
The base decks that come in the starter set seem to be quite good.
Negatives
I’m not a fan of the attacker deciding what to attack, I prefer that the defender chooses how to block as in Magic the Gathering.
In this game I played I never felt like I had enough options, none of the cards in my deck drew more cards which didn’t help.
Summary
One for Star Wars fans and Star Wars fans only I would think.
