Fantasy Flight Games_Star Wars Destiny Announcement

“Luke, you can destroy the Emperor. He has foreseen this. It is your destiny.”
–Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Star Wars™: Destiny, a collectible dice and card game of saga-spanning, “what if” battles for two players!

Count Dooku and Kylo Ren against Leia Organa and Han Solo. Luke Skywalker and Qui-Gon Jinn against Jango Fett and Jabba the Hutt. The entire Star Wars saga is open for you to explore and experience in the fast-paced, epic battles of Star Wars: Destiny. Now, you can choose a team of unique, famous characters from across the Star Wars universe and battle your opponent with large, full-color, premium dice, a deck of cards, and your characters’ unique, defining abilities. (For more information on how our premium dice are made and how they’re different than other dice, click here!) The last player with characters left standing wins the game!

With an array of characters that spans the saga from The Phantom Menace to The Force Awakens, Star Wars: Destiny gives you freedom to play out any battle you can imagine. Innovative gameplay blends dice and cards as you strategize exactly how to defeat your opponent’s characters. Finally, the game’s collectible model invites you to enter the game at whatever pace you choose, tweaking your decks with the addition of new cards and dice from booster packs. You’ll have the chance to demo the game and receive an exclusive, extended-art promo card at Gen Con Indy 2016 next week, but for now, watch the trailer below or on YouTube and read on for more information.

One Galaxy, Countless Heroes

“The belonging you seek is not behind you… it is ahead. I am no Jedi, but I know the Force. It moves through and surrounds every living thing.”
–Maz Kanata, Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars: Destiny offers you a game that truly spans the entire Star Wars canon—from the opening crawl of The Phantom Menace to the dramatic reveal of Luke Skywalker at the end of The Force Awakens.

Dozens of characters join the battle from across the Star Wars galaxy, and before your game begins, you’ll gather a team of iconic heroes or villains to face your enemies on the field of battle. The only rule is that your team cannot include both heroes and villains fighting alongside each other!

Both heroes and villains are divided into three distinct factions: Force, Command, and Rogue. You may learn the ways of the Force alongside characters like Count Dooku (Awakenings, 9) or Luke Skywalker (Awakenings, 35).

You can take command of a military machine with Captain Phasma (Awakenings, 1) or Leia Organa (Awakenings, 28).

Or, you can become a rogue and make your own way in the galaxy by choosing characters like Jango Fett (Awakenings, 21) or Finn (Awakenings, 45).

Each character card shows the character’s health, the symbols on its die, any special abilities, and its point values for constructing your team. We’ll explore each of these in much more detail in a future preview.

The saga-spanning nature of Star Wars: Destiny invites you to stage countless “what if” battles between your favorite heroes and villains. You’ll choose your team from these characters, and they also form the crux of your strategy. Each character has its health listed in the upper right-hand corner of the card. If you deal enough damage to defeat a character, that character is removed from the game, and if you defeat all of your opponent’s characters, you win! Though your objective is easy to understand, it’s difficult to achieve, and you have plenty of ways to disrupt your opponent’s plans.

Your primary way to attack your enemies is by using the premium dice that correspond to your characters. You and your opponent will alternate taking turns, spending your dice to damage your enemies, shield your own characters, gain resources, manipulate the dice, and trigger special abilities—we’ll take a closer look at the dice of Star Wars: Destiny in a future preview, and you can also learn more on the Star Wars: Destiny minisite.

Support Your Team

“Become my apprentice. Learn to use the dark side of the Force. There’s no turning back now.”
–Darth Sidious, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

In addition to your characters and their dice, you also have a thirty-card deck of event, support, and upgrade cards that you’ll use to enhance your characters and turn the tables in your favor. Events like The Best Defense… (Awakenings, 75) are played from your hand to immediately alter your fortunes,

Fantasy Flight Games_Star Wars Destiny Announcement 11

whereas upgrades are permanently attached to your characters to enhance their personal abilities. Support cards like the Millennium Falcon (Awakenings, 49) also remain in play,

Fantasy Flight Games_Star Wars Destiny Announcement 12

but they are not tied to any one character, meaning they won’t leave play if one of your characters is defeated.

Many upgrade cards and support cards also have corresponding dice. Whenever you play these cards from your hand, you’ll take the card’s die and place it on the card. Then, you’ll be able to use that die to battle your opponent in future rounds. Gaining more dice is crucial to increasing your team’s prowess and an event can quickly turn a bad situation into victory, so you must carefully consider which events, supports, and upgrades to include in your deck.

Fantasy Flight Games_Star Wars Destiny Announcement 13

When you activate Luke Skywalker, you roll the dice for Luke and any attached upgrades, like Force Training. These dice can be used on a later turn by spending an action!

There’s one more card in Star Wars: Destiny that can shape the entire game: the battlefield. You and your opponent each bring a battlefield to your game, and before the first turn, there’s a roll-off to decide which battlefield will set the stage for your duels. During the game, you may claim the battlefield as an action, taking the card and placing it in front of you. If you claim the battlefield, you trigger its power and guarantee that you’ll have initiative next round, but you also forfeit your ability to take any more actions for the duration of this round! Deciding when to claim the battlefield and if it’s worth sacrificing part of your turn is a crucial piece of strategy in every game of Destiny.

Why collectible?

About the collectible model of Star Wars: Destiny, game designer Lukas Litzsinger said, “We haven’t made a collectible game in years, even though many gamers enjoy this format’s aspects of discovery and trading. Star Wars: Destiny is a game that could only exist within this category, and we’re excited to reenter the collectible marketplace and start supporting fans of this genre once more.” For more information about the collectible aspect of the game, visit our description page.

Two starter sets offer an entry point to your games of Star Wars: Destiny—the Kylo Ren Starter Set and the Rey Starter Set. Each of these starter sets offers a fixed set of twenty-four cards with nine premium dice, a rulesheet, and all the tokens you need for one player to begin playing. Whether you cast your fortunes with Kylo Ren and the First Order or search for truth and purpose alongside Rey, these starter sets offer the ideal starting point for you and a friend to start enjoying Destiny.

Each Awakenings Booster Pack contains five randomized cards, one of which features a corresponding premium die!

Once you’ve gotten your starter set, you’ll want to add to your forces with new events, upgrades, supports, and characters. You can find all of these by growing your collection with randomized booster packs from the Awakenings set. Each booster pack offers five cards, one of which features a corresponding premium die included in the booster pack. These randomized booster packs allow you to enter the game at your own pace and invite you to experience the thrill of discovery or search for a particularly rare card.

What makes the dice different?

Unlike many games, the dice in Star Wars: Destiny do not use stickers. Instead, the dice are plastic-injected like normal dice and rolled in a tumbler to add a fine, smooth polish to every die. The images on each side are then physically heat-pressed onto the dice, essentially printing the artwork directly onto the plastic. Finally, the die is covered in a scratch-resistant coating, allowing you to roll these dice without their quality deteriorating.

It Is Your Destiny

“You cannot escape your destiny. You must face Darth Vader again.”
–Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

From the Trade Federation’s blockade of Naboo to the Resistance’s heroic attack on Starkiller Base, there’s no part of the Star Wars saga that you can’t encounter in Star Wars: Destiny. Choose your team of characters and grab your dice—you can demo Star Wars: Destiny next week at Gen Con Indy 2016! What’s more, we’ll have two exclusive, extended-art promotional cards (shown below) for you to pick up after a demo of the game. Choose your side carefully: each player will only receive the promo card that corresponds to the side played in the demo.

  • Ein Hybrid aus CCG und Würfelspiel? Also ich weis nicht. Mich spricht das jetzt nicht wirklich an, Vor allem scheint das Spiel ja nur daraus zu bestehen, dass sich zwei Heldengruppen gegenseitig auf die Mütze geben. Da hatte ich weiland aber mit dem guten alten Star Wars CCG in den 1990er weitaus mehr Spaß, würde ich spontan vermuten…

  • riecht so „auf den ersten schnüpper“ gerade schwer nach nem dice-masters-klon/konkurrenten; ich mag völlig falsch liegen aber zumindest der eindruck entsteht da mMn.
    mal abwarten und tee trinken. insgeheim hoffe ich, dass es nix wird. schlimm genug, dass all die anderen ffg-spiele UND dice-masters mein geld fressen.. brauch ich nicht noch ein (vermutlich besseres) DM aus dem hause ffg.. ;-D

    • Stimmt genau… Das ist mittlerweile auch für mich ein KO-Kriterium. Sammeln in allen Ehren, aber dann schon lieber Raritäten als absichtlich verknappte Rares, die spielentscheidend sind. Pay-to-win in analoger Form. 😀 Ohne mich.

  • Irgendwie klebt FFG gerade auf jedes mögliche Spielsystem das Star Wars logo und schmeißt es auf den Markt: X-Wing, Armada, Imperial Assault, Rebellion …. man kann ein Brand auch irgendwann zu tode melken … sogar SW 🙁

    • Wenn Sie denn dann wenigstens Dust nehmen würden und dort den Star Wars Stempel aufdrücken, wäre ich recht erfreut. Dann gäbe es mal n vernünftiges Star Wars Boden TT. Warum gibt es keinen Hersteller der das Potential in einem auf Bodenschlachten basierendes, GUTES TT im Star Wars Universum erkennt. Das wäre eine Gelddruckmaschine wie X-Wing…

    • Für mich ist das bei FFG schon lange geschehen. Nicht erst seit Star Wars.
      Ich mache schon ein Weilchen einen Bogen um FFG releases, weil die jede Lizenz dermaßen ausquetschen das es nicht mehr schön ist. Leider ist das, aus meiner Sicht, in der Regel auch der Qualität des Spielerlebnisses abträglich.

      • Leider. Mir gefallen die vielen kleinen Erweiterungen auch nicht. Früher gabs hält nur Boxen mit allem drinnen. Heute gibts allein für Descent und Imperial Assault an die hundert Claimpacks die nochmal richtig Geld kosten. Von den PoDs will ich erst gar nicht reden.
