Hot on the heels of the ‘X-Wing’ miniatures game and the Beta of the new Star Wars roleplaying game ‘Edge of the Empire’, comes Star Wars: The Card Game!
It was initially delayed, but now they confirm that the game will start shipping in the fourth quarter of 2012 – sounds like it would make a cracking Christmas present! Although I already know what Luke Skywalker is getting for Christmas, because I felt his presents. Badum-tish.
From the website:
The Imperial fleet sifts through the galaxy for signs of the Rebel Alliance’s hidden base, hoping to obliterate it with one powerful blast from their newly constructed Death Star. As the Empire’s imposing Star Destroyers draw near, the Rebellion’s greatest heroes realize there is no time to spare, so they mobilize for a desperate attack…
Star Wars: The Card Game is coming! Scheduled to release in the fourth quarter of 2012, Star Wars: The Card Game is a head-to-head Living Card Game® of tactical combat and strategic planning that allows two players to wage cinematic battles between the most memorable characters and starships from both the light and dark sides of the Force.
In February, we explained why we chose to take our initial prototype back to the drawing board. Now we are proud to announce that the redesign by Eric M. Lang is complete, and we intend to make Star Wars: The Card Game available to retailers everywhere later this year!
