Yet the Empire's resources are vast and the firepower of its Navy is unparalleled. With neither side willing to accept defeat, their war rages across the galaxy... In Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game, a two-player head-to-head game, the galaxy-spanning war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance comes to life on your tabletop. In this easy-to-learn game, you and your opponent each choose a side, playing as the Empire or the Rebels, and as the game progresses you both strengthen the power of your starting cards and work to destroy each other's bases. The first player to destroy three of his opponent's bases wins. In more detail, each player starts with a unique deck of ten cards, with seven of those cards only providing means to acquire new cards. Six cards from a galaxy deck are always visible, with Rebel cards facing the Rebel player, Empire cards facing the Empire player, and Neutral cards facing aside.
