What Is Star Wars™: Unlimited?

Launch into a game of endless possibilities with Star Wars™: Unlimited! If you’re a fan of Star Wars, card games, or both, then this fast-paced, easy-to-learn trading card game is for you. Choose a leader from dozens of fan-favorite Star Wars heroes and villains, build a deck that fits your preferred strategy, then face off against an opponent.

The goal of the game is to destroy your opponent’s base before they can destroy yours. At the core of your deck is your leader card, whose aspects and abilities will shape your deck’s strategy and deckbuilding restrictions. Combat is split between two arenas: ground and space, and units in one arena (usually) can’t attack units in the other arena. Turns alternate one action at a time, keeping you on your toes as the battlefield shifts.

A Galaxy of Stories

The game is called “Unlimited” for a reason. You’ll find characters, ships, and captured moments from across all corners of the Star Wars franchise, spanning the films, animated series, the High Republic books, and more. You’ll even find characters from various Star Wars video games, such as Cal Kestis and BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Darth Revan from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

Icons is the Perfect Place to Start

Sound exciting? Well, you’re in luck, because now is the perfect time to jump into the game with the Icons 2027 Edition set, which releases on November 20, 2026. Icons focuses entirely on fan-favorite characters and straightforward mechanics, making it a fantastic entry point for newcomers and returning players alike. If you’re looking for a good place to start, look no further than the Icons Starter Box, which provides you and a friend with two pre-built decks—one featuring Princess Leia as its leader, and the other featuring Darth Vader. There’s no better way to learn the game than trying it out for yourself!

Expand Your Galaxy

Once you've got a handle on things with the Icons set, you can expand your collection with one of the many other sets that have already released. The most recent of these sets is Homeworlds, the game’s ninth set, which released this October. This set is all about the various planets of the Star Wars galaxy, the cultures that inhabit them, and the conflicts that shape them.

If you’re looking for another pre-built experience to whet your appetite, try one of the Homeworlds Chewbacca or Tarkin/Death Star Spotlight Decks! These 50-card decks are ready to play from the moment you open the box.

Play Your Way

There are over 250 cards to collect in Homeworlds alone, with many, many more to look forward to in future sets. Once you have cards and played a few games, it's time to continue your journey. Take on the competitive scene with the Premier format, engage in draft or sealed nights at your local game store, or just have some casual fun with Twin Suns, which turns the game from a head-to-head clash into a mayhem-fueled multiplayer free-for-all!

Between connecting with an ever-growing community, collecting cards of your favorite Star Wars characters and starships, and competing in events all over the world, Star Wars: Unlimited has something for everyone. Visit your friendly local game store today to start collecting and playing.
