Players take on the roles of the Rebellion or the Empire, building a 60-card deck from over 3000 cards. Using mechanics like Area Majority, Hand Management, and Variable Player Powers, players battle on ground and in space to deplete their opponent's life force. Cards representing locations, characters, ships, and equipment are strategically placed. Games last about 60 minutes and require strategic planning and adaptation.
Who Is This Game For?

How It Works

Multi-Use Cards and variable player powers create diverse strategies. Hand Management is key to effectively playing cards and reducing the opponent’s life force.
