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. The fate of the galaxy is in your hands. An epic struggle between good and evil continues, and now you must take a side - the light side or the dark side. The Star Wars trading card game lets you and a friend engage in full-scale battles. You can choose to embrace the power of the Sith Lords or to align yourself with the Jedi Knights and use the Force for a higher purpose. Star Wars: Trading Card Game is not all that different from Magic:TG. Like many TCGs, Star Wars comes in two player starter packs, individual deck starters, and the obvious booster packs. Cards include characters, ships, devices, and all of the original, first edition decks deal with Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. To play your first real game you will need to collect (or print out) two decks of 60 cards, a set of six sided dices, a set of damage counters, two force meters and a playmat with 3 battle zones(space, ground and character areas).
