I'm Obsessed with the new Star Wars Unlimited Card Game

[@projared]

Any of you trying out the Star Wars Unlimited card game at all? I did a $5,000 tournament a week back and took... 9th. Tiebreakers kept me out of Top 8. 😭

[@simplegarak]

Pro tip for you Jared (at least this is what I do) - when you need to set your hand aside to do thing, place the cards facedown on your deck, but rotate them 90 degrees. Keeps them from getting mixed up with resources or other stuff.

[@lyvekis8824]

I like the concept. The limited amount however will probably hurt it in the longterm if not changed.

[@kerolothdernoth]

Hey man, glad you're enjoying it. I picked up a few boosters randomly at launch because I'm a cardboard crack addict of course, and a starter deck later I got hooked and got a few friends hooked as well. We now regularly have a group of 12-22ppl at our LGS, and with the SHD pre-release coming up I'm hyped beyond compare for the Jabba Showcase.

I heard "both players alternate between actions" and nearly made a "it's just like modern Yu-Gi-Oh" joke, but hearing that there are no interrupts put an end to that.

I'm still crying the death of Now in the 90s, but it's great to see you interested in this game. I've been loving it since way before it was even released, watching KZbin videos about it since last November. This is such a good game. It is so well built. No losing to being mana short. It all comes down to your playing, deck-building and resourcing skills.

[@HoroiceX]

Man, hearing that any card can be a resource made nostalgic about Duel Master. This looks very fun I would like to try it but i have nobody to play with

My main complaint about all these cool card games is that I don't live near people who actually play them. Only Pokemon, Yugioh, Digimon and Magic are played within 2 hours of where I live.

[@Chozo_hybrid]

Yup, it's hard for new card games to take hold. I went all in on the Transformers one from a few years back, we even had a local scene. But Hasbro pulled the plug two years in because it wasn't making MtG numbers...

[@bcharizard1]

Call your closest game stores and just ask if they do events. SWU is all about fun events and since the new set comes out soon, tons of places are having prereleases.

[@Kyle-e8r]

Was the same in my area until we started going to stores and showing them the game. Now have 6 stores within an hour supporting it. Even Star City Games is supporting it with tournaments now.

[@robertnomok9750]

So FOUR games? lucky you. I live in a country in a city where nearest boardgame club is half a day away. And they propbaly just playing munchkin and monopoly there.

Running red green tarkin aggro and double yellow boba! Huge fan of the game; played it first at Pax East!

[@sylinmino]

Bamboozle is one of my favorite art pieces in the game right now, and I will fight you on that lmao. It's a fantastic caricature because it hilariously captures the vibes of the original scene. And that's what's most important for me.

[@MrSkerpentine]

As someone that hasn’t watched a Disney movie since the first Wreck-It Ralph, they’ve been *killing* it with their tabletop and TCG stuff lately. The Villainous games are a special favorite of mine solely with their art direction. I even got into the homebrewing scene!

[@Christina_Rose]

This game is so fun and the way you demonstrated the gameplay is fantastic! I love playing a Leia deck 😊

[@Labergemusic]

"Oh wow this looks cool I wonder where I can buy it" SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE (lol)

[@Kyle-e8r]

Set 1 and 2 they wasn’t able to do anything with the print run. They couldn’t imagine how popular it was going to be. Set 1 reprints coming before the holiday and they was able to double set 3 print before it left the factory. The rares and down are extremely cheap so I’d start with those. Most Legendary’s are really expensive though.

[@AniGaAG]

You're a seriously inspiring and talented man, Jared. The passion always leaps off the screen when you talk about something you enjoy, it's really palpable. And your skill at speaking and presenting has come impressive distances since the ol' days of reviews like Two Worlds and PS Move. Always glad to be here for your uploads, my man, now as back then!

This game is amazing! I'm lucky enough to have bought starter decks and 2 booster boxes of Spark. These are HARD to find now! Can't wait to play the Shadows set!

[@thmsdrew]

This game is getting popular at my LGS and this is the exact type of vid I was looking for to understand it a bit better, thanks!

[@GreatWhiteElf]

I saw a stack of these cards on the counter in my LGS, and was immediately interested. And now thanks to Jared I have an idea of how to play!

[@christopherpoet458]

So, correction unless I am mistaken. Taking the Innicitive and Passing are both actions. Doing either does not eliminate you from taking further actions. You just have to spend an action for either function.

[@dango5928]

I don't care for Star Wars. I don't care for card games. But yes, I will listen to Jared ramble because I've been binging his content lately anyway.

[@rokucam1958]

Same

[@gurvmlk]

Also same. Besides that, I love how rational his points are whenever he both praises, and criticizes things. So even if it's not something I particularly care about, I still enjoying hearing his oftentimes very reasonable thoughts regarding the topic. Because he's seldom overly adoring or hateful about the things he discusses, and even when he is, he always presents a good reason for those feelings. Rather than just praising or hating for the sake of it, like I feel other KZbinrs have a tendency to do.

[@Arsilfarid]

I'm glad you found a card game you love! Flesh and Blood is that for me; I had to stop playing for a couple of years to sort out some financial things, but I'm getting back into it now and I'm so unbelievably excited! It's a game that's very close to my heart now, so I understand how wonderful it is to find a TCG that is truly special to you.

[@fastpuppy2000]

I tried Flesh and Blood and I found it so damn stressful, man. It looks cool, but I'm not wired right for it. Everything down to the draw step being where it is makes me sweat that I'm not using my cards right, which is a thing in every TCG, but FaB makes it visceral to me for some reason. By the time the games end I feel like I need a smoke. I'm in a terrible place where the perfect game for me was Magic circa 2014/15 or so, and I don't know any game that's similar enough to Magic, but not taking inspiration from Commander. Magic feels like the soul died a corporate death, but other people who might agree with me there would pin that blame on wokeness or something. I don't wanna be in those guys's camp.

SWU player here. Mainly Bossk Green and Mandalorian Blue, with Boba Green on the side when it’s time to get serious. Dropping Firespray when they’re only on 5 resources is literally like throwing a brick at their face. I hope it’s not too late to say that I’d love to see more SWU content from you, especially with set 3 around the corner and the distribution of set 2 being so much better than set 1.

[@rebelresource]

[@darkdistroi]

Fantasy Flight just knows how to make games. I've been playing their LCGs for a decade now, and they're all excellent. I miss Warhammer: 40k Conquest so much, but each new game is still excellently made and well thought out. Glad to see one finally getting more popular, as that was the fate of most of their card games, unfortunately. This is a lot simpler than many of their other entries, but I think that's why it's catching on so well. It's much easier to explain and get into. Glad to see you're hooked!

[@ChirpOTK]

I think the meta for this game is pretty solved until set 2 comes out. Boba decks have over a 60% tournament win rate, at least that's the info from limitlesstcg.

[@CTBD09]

Boba is the best leader in the game but there are decks that beat him pretty consistently.

[@bcharizard1]

[@Delfino711]

Watching this video gave me the push to go pick up the Spark of Rebellion starter decks. I've heard nothing but positivity about this game from everywhere. I'm excited to play but cautious about going all-in on this game given the lack of supply anywhere and how quickly Star Wars Destiny (their last card game) died off. But this one really does seem like it's got the legs to take off and last a while!

[@Makxii]

I haven't had enough time to play this game as much as I want to, but from the 3ish games that I've played, I love it!

[@plvto1]

this reminds me a little bit of Genius Invokation, and I LOVE this turn system as opposed to the other one where only one person acts and then the other one acts.

[@cal5365]

Reminds me very much of the Standalone Gwent game, same style of constructing themed decks, hitpoints etc. An actual digital version of this game would probably be immensely popular and alleviate the issue of actually low phsycal card production

[@WindmageZyphos]

I’ve never been that much into Star Wars, but this card game looks pretty tight. The back and forth nature so you can’t build an unbreakable board on your first turn is appealing. Hopefully other companies will learn that no one enjoys playing against floodgates.

Im so glad that newer card games are taking on the Yu-Gi-Oh idea where both players interact with each other back and forth no matter who's turn it is. I feel like card games that dont do this are kinda archaic now

[@Erick7Greenday]

I mean that's because some decks do play on your turn. The back and forth comes from from LoR I believe.

[@Level_1_Frog]

I don't really understand what the 'yugioh idea' is you're talking about- do you mean just the ability to play cards and activate abilities on your opponent's turn? Cuz Magic the Gathering has done that since... 1993.

I just wanted some clarification about what op meant by 'back and forth no matter who's turn it is'.

[@fastpuppy2000]

I don't know a ton about Versus, but I think Duel Masters started the cards as resource thing. For some reason my heart belongs to lands and mana, but it's cool to see these design ideas come and go and come back again like that. That being said, I had no idea Versus was so innovative with the turn structure; that's super cool. I kind of thought that Runeterra started that deal. Also, holy crap, Upper Deck didn't go bankrupt? I thought they died.

[@solidscorpion]

In regards to the art, FF has said that the art is inconsistent with the first few sets, but they really lean into a specific style down the road.

[@austintate662]

I love this game, it's consistently fun and most of the time when I win or lose, it feels deserved. I'm currently maining a Luke/Green deck. Luke's not really played in my local stores too often (mostly Palps, Bobas, and Sabines) so I'm often catching people off guard when I start controlling the board with shielded sentinels and big heals/damage with Lukes, Home One, and Relentless. My main complaint about SWU is probably the artwork. I hope that when they reprint set 1, they add alternate art versions in the mix.

Between this and Disney Lorcana, I like that playing any card as a resource has become a popular "fix" for the mana system. MTG's mana/land complexity is part of it's depth, but there's so much RNG to it that I have trouble saying it's a better system now.

[@_korbo_]

Well mtg has had the double sided lands for a while as well which is Basically the same as being able to play your cards as resources, it's just not All cards. This sounds fun but it also inevitably makes decks a lot more consistent, which narrows the design space a little bit since introducing cards that are "hard to play" becomes a lot less risky.

[@Valtharr]
