Read the full game description

Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game – Clone Wars Edition is a standalone two-player duel between the Galactic Republic and the Separatist Confederacy. Each side begins with a small asymmetric deck and a base. On your turn, play every card in your hand to generate resources, attack power, Force strength, and faction abilities. Resources recruit ships, Jedi, droids, and neutral Outer Rim cards from a shared galaxy row; attack power can eliminate opposing faction cards before they are bought or damage an enemy base. Destroyed bases are replaced from a personal reserve, and the first player to destroy three wins. The Force track rewards control while exile piles, bounty tokens, and Clone Wars characters give the two factions fresh strategic identities. It plays independently and can also combine with the original Rebel-versus-Empire set, greatly expanding faction matchups and deck variety.
