GAME SYSTEM This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages. Star Wars: Destiny is a collectible dice and card game of battles between iconic heroes and villains that encompasses characters, locations, and themes from the entire Star Wars saga. In Star Wars: Destiny, two players engage in a fast-paced duel, each striving to eliminate the other's characters first. The game's innovative mechanisms combine dice-driven combat with faction-driven hand management. Straightforward rules make the game easy to learn, but also enable deep strategic thinking and clever deck-building. Players can create decks that include characters from every faction and any era, as long as heroes and villains are on opposite sides of the fight. For example, Padmé Amidala might fight alongside Rey and Finn, taking on Jabba the Hutt, Kylo Ren, and Jango Fett. Each round, you use your characters' abilities, an assortment of dice, and a carefully constructed thirty-card deck filled with events, upgrades, and supports. You and your opponent alternate actions: activating your dice, playing cards from your hand, attacking your foes, and claiming the battlefield. You need to prove your skills and defeat your opponent's characters to claim your destiny! At launch in November 2016, Star Wars: Destiny consists of two starter sets — Rey and Kylo Ren, each with nine dice and 24 cards — and the Awakenings booster packs, each containing one die and five cards. —description from the publisher

Even in the darkest of times, the spark of hope can be found in the Star Wars galaxy, lit by those who dream of a better place. In the era of the Clone Wars, Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi fought against the darkness of the Separatist army. Jyn Erso and Luke Skywalker led a tiny band of Rebels against a Galactic Empire, and when the First Order rose to power, the Resistance stood up as the spark of hope that would burn it down. Find your own path in Spark of Hope, a 160-card set of booster packs for Star Wars: Destiny! Spark of Hope continues the themes introduced in Convergence, with an emphasis on subtypes, downgrades, and new plots that change the way you construct your deck! Look for Red villain cards that empty your opponent's hand, a new set of moves and masteries for Blue heroes, new Bounty Hunters for Yellow villains, and more! —description from the publisher

Description from the publisher: “This is a rebellion, isn’t it?” –Jyn Erso, Rogue One The Star Wars saga has always centered on the timeless struggle between good and evil. At different points throughout the saga, evil may be lurking in the shadows or controlling an oppressive, galaxy-spanning Empire. Yet there must always be balance in the Force, and whenever the dark side rises, a spirit of rebellion begins to light the way forward. With the new Spirit of Rebellion Booster Pack for Star Wars: Destiny, 160 brand-new cards enter the game, incorporating elements from every movie in the saga, but with a special focus on the newest Star Wars movie: Rogue One. You’ll find plenty of characters from Rogue One within this set, including Jyn Erso, Chirrut Îmwe, Mon Mothma, and Director Krennic, alongside other iconic characters from across the Star Wars story. The spirit of rebellion has ignited, so prepare to bring the feverish battles and kinetic action of Rogue One to your games of Star Wars: Destiny! Every booster pack includes five randomized cards and one premium die, broken down into three common cards, one uncommon card, and one rare or legendary card with a corresponding die. All cards that feature a corresponding die are either rare or legendary cards. With every booster pack, you’ll find new characters, supports, upgrades, or events, along with new ways to enter the Star Wars galaxy and fight for your chosen side!

Hmmm... I am intrigued! I am NOT a fan of "collectible" games, but like the idea of this - I like the idea of all the new canon/movie characters (there aren't too many games available where you can possibly get Dooku, Grevious, Qui-Gon, etc); I like the fact that it is a short game (I love the LCG and like Imp Assault, but they can be a little long if looking for a "filler" game); and it looks like boosters will be pretty cheap. As far as some of the initial hating on this for being "collectible", I don't have a problem with that since there are already many great SW games from FFG which are not collectible (Armada, LCG, IA, etc), so if someone loves SW but doesn't like collectible, there are still plenty of good options! 😛

This looks like a game I am ready to commit to and learn from the start--the range of options, combinations, and characters available see just right for a CCG! I can't wait for November!
