Following Ashes of the Empire, the new Star Wars: Unlimited Homeworlds places a spotlight on alien creatures and the invading armies that threaten them with fan favourites Chewbacca and Grand Moff Tarkin featuring as the new deck leaders.
With over 260 new cards, Homeworlds is the biggest set to date, adding to the gameplay. For the first time since launch, Star Wars: Unlimited introduces a keyword that lets players ‘fortify’ their own base, opening up entirely new defensive strategies for deckbuilders.
For players, the new Star Wars™: Unlimited decks feature a card pool of 272 cards in total including fan favourites from the Rebels and Empire. Key features of Star Wars™: Unlimited Homeworlds include:
• Fortify – a brand-new keyword and the headline mechanic of the set, allowing players to attach upgrade cards to their base instead of a unit for the first time in Star Wars™: Unlimited history.
• Chewbacca – the first new Spotlight Deck leader, arriving as a Command and Heroism leader who lets friendly units attack even while exhausted, with a deck built around low-cost Ewok units and Rebel companions.
• Grand Moff Tarkin – a Vigilance and Villainy leader built entirely around Fortify, who ignores aspect penalties on Fortify upgrades and can flip into a playable Death Star once a player reaches 9 resources – capable of destroying an opposing base outright.
• Two new token types – Beast tokens – 3 power/3 HP units, the largest tokens in the game so far – and Weakness tokens, which inflict a -1/-1 penalty on enemy units.
• A card pool of 272 cards in total, including 18 Leaders, 16 Bases, 180 Units, 27 Upgrades and 31 Events, with 20 Legendary and 58 Rare cards among them.
Each Spotlight Deck ships as a ready-to-play 50-card deck complete with leader, base, token cards and a Homeworlds booster pack, making it easy for both new and existing TCG players to jump straight into the new set.
Roger Martin, Marketing Director at asmodee said: “Homeworlds is one of the most ambitious sets we’ve brought to Star Wars™: Unlimited yet. Fortify gives players a genuinely new way to think about defence and pairing that with leaders like Grand Moff Tarkin and Chewbacca means there’s a fresh angle for both competitive deckbuilders and TCG players that are just getting started. We can’t wait to see what the community builds now they can get their hands on it from today.”
Happy hunting!
