Releasing next year, Star Wars: Unlimited is described as a fast-pace game complete with famous faces, places, and even vehicles. Its big selling feature is the use of both planetside combat as the likes of the Jedi and the Sith, and space-bound combat full of TIE-Fighters and X-Wings to capture every aspect of the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars: Unlimited – Prerelease Box
Perfect for making a sealed deck or joining in with your game store’s prelease events, this box includes six packs and everything you need to enjoy the limited environment of Star Wars: Unlimited.
Spark of Rebellion will include three products at launch. A Prerelease Box costs $29.99,and includes six booster packs and two promo cards (that are yet to be revealed). It also comes with all the things you need to get playing, like a deck box, a guide on building your deck, damage counters, and a rulebook.
This is primarily designed for limited play in game stores a week before its still unannounced launch date, but can still be used to simply crack packs or play at home if you prefer.
Star Wars: Unlimited – Two-Player Starter Kit
A quick way to start playing, the Starter Kit includes two decks, based on Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. It also includes cards not found anywhere else in Spark of Rebellion.
Next, there’s the Two-Player Starter deck, costing $34.99. This is more designed for players getting into a TCG for the first time, with two 50-card decks already made and ready to play.
While the contents of the decks haven’t been revealed, outside of exclusive cards not found elsewhere, it appears to be focused on Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, matching one of the wider themes of the set. It also includes two paper playmats to map out the various zones on the table, deck boxes, damage counters, and rulebooks.
Star Wars: Unlimited - Booster Pack
A single pack of Star Wars: Unlimited will come with 16 randomised cards, ranging across four rarities. Whether you’re cracking them for your collection, playing in a limited game, or juist want to find some new toys for your deck, this is the cheapest way to get your hands on cards without buying an entire kit. A store-display booster box will cost more, and comes with 24 packs.
Finally, there’s the actual Spark of Rebellion booster packs. Costing $4.99 each, these contain 16 cards (more than other games likeMagic: The Gatheringand Pokemon). Rarity breakdowns haven’t been revealed yet, but the face characters on the booster packs give us an interesting look at what the set will include.
Not only does it include series legends Luke, Chewbacca, and Leia, but also Thrawn, who has been a long-running part of the Legends series of extended works, but only made his live-action debut recently in theDisney+ Ahsoka series.
All three products give us an intriguing look into what we can expect from Star Wars: Unlimited. The prerelease kit shows a commitment to local game stores and in-person play, while the starter decks’ exclusive cards also cater to the collectors and the endless hunger for exclusive cards. Even the pack art’s inclusion of a relatively obscure character like Thrawn shows we can expect more from Unlimited than just the movies, really living up to its Unlimited name.
Star Wars: Unlimited – Spark Of Rebellion is due to launch sometime in 2024.
