Star Wars Destiny!!!!!

Hello Everybody!!!!

        So you guys voted and now we are going to talk about the new card game Star Wars destiny!!!! 

Play out your own epic, saga-spanning, “what if” battles in Star Wars™: Destiny, a collectible dice and card game for two players!

       In every game of Star Wars: Destiny, you’ll gather your small team of iconic characters and battle to defeat your foes, using your dice and the cards in your deck. The last player with characters left standing wins the game, but to successfully outmaneuver your opponent, you’ll need to carefully consider your options and enhance your deck with new dice and cards. If you ever wondered who would win a duel between two teams of heroes and villains from the Star Wars universe, there’s no better way to find out than with Star Wars: Destiny.

 

    Each character in Star Wars: Destiny comes with a corresponding premium die. These large, full-color dice are different for each character, and by rolling the dice and spending their symbols, you’ll strengthen your forces and deal damage to your opponent’s characters. Each character’s health is shown in the card’s upper right-hand corner, and once you’ve dealt that much damage to a character, it’s defeated!

     Of course, the dice aren’t the only tool you have as you duel your opponent—you also have a thirty-card deck of cards that you’ll draw throughout the game. On your turn, you can take an action to play a card, paying the resources in the card’s upper left-hand corner as you can see below.

    

    

    

      The cards in your deck are divided into three major types: events, upgrades, and supports. Events offer an immediate effect when they’re played, and are then discarded. For instance, you may use an event to stage a Daring Escape (Awakenings, 126) from an enemy attack or remove your opponent’s dice with The Best Defense… (Awakenings, 75). Upgrades like Force Choke (Awakenings, 15), on the other hand, attach to one of your characters, giving them dangerous new tools and skills. Support cards such as the Millennium Falcon (Awakenings, 49) remain in play, independent of your characters but still contributing to your overall

     Many upgrade and support cards have their own dice associated with them. When you play these cards, you can bring the corresponding dice into play, giving you more dice and thus more options for outwitting your opponent! Finally, it’s important to know that the cards in your hand all have more than one use—as an action, you can discard a card from your hand to re-roll any number of dice in your dice pool, giving you a better chance of getting the results you want.

Duel of the Fates

In a game of Star Wars: Destiny, you’re always at the center of a fast-paced duel between two teams of iconic heroes and villains. Each round, you and your opponent will alternate taking actions until you both pass consecutively.

      There are several different actions that you can take each turn, including playing a card from your hand or discarding a card to reroll dice, as we discussed above. Although these actions are important for building your forces, sooner or later, you’ll need to take the fight directly to your opponent, and to do that, you’ll use your dice.

At the beginning of a round, all of your dice start on their corresponding cards. To roll the dice and add them to your dice pool, you must spend your action to activate the card. Activating a card exhausts the card (turns it sideways) and lets you roll the dice from the exhausted card and its upgrade cards! Once you’ve rolled the dice, you can take an action to spend any number of dice that share a symbol.

There are nine different symbols that can appear on your dice with varying values, and each gives you a different advantage:

 Melee Damage – Spending this symbol deals melee damage to one of your opponent’s characters.

 

Ranged Damage – Spending this symbol deals ranged damage to one of your opponent’s characters.

 

Shield – This symbol can grant shields to one of your characters. These shields absorb damage before it reaches your character.

 

Resource – This symbol can be spent to gain an equal amount of resources. 

 

Disrupt – Spending this symbol forces your opponent to lose an equal amount of resources.

Discard – Spending this symbol forces your opponent to randomly discard an equal number of cards from his hand.

Focus – This symbol can be spent to change some of your other dice to the sides of your choice.

Special – This symbol has special rules listed on the corresponding card. For instance, if you rolled a special symbol on the Force Choke die, you could spend the symbol to deal one unblockable damage to an enemy character and change that character's die.

 

 Blank – This symbol has no effect. All but the most dangerous and reliable dice have at least one blank symbol.

Go to the Mustafar System

    Another aspect of Star Wars: Destiny that can have a dramatic effect on your game is the battlefield. When you prepare for a game, both you and your opponent will bring a battlefield card along with your characters, your dice, and your deck of cards. During setup, there is a roll-off to determine which battlefield to use—the other battlefield won’t be used at all this game.

     As an action on your turn, you may choose to claim the battlefield, taking the card and placing it in front of you. Claiming the battlefield guarantees that you will play first in the next round and lets you trigger the battlefield’s ability. For instance, if you claim the Salvage Yard (Awakenings, 170), you can immediately add an upgrade or support card from your discard pile to the top of your deck. There is a downside to claiming the battlefield, however—as soon as you do so, you automatically pass all future actions, allowing your opponent to do as he or she pleases for the rest of the round. Every round, you’ll need to carefully weigh the future benefits of claiming the battlefield against your present need to take more actions.

     Ultimately, as in a firefight or a lightsaber duel, timing is everything in Star Wars: Destiny. You must choose when to activate your cards and when to build up your forces by playing more cards from your hand. You must choose when to press the attack by spending your dice and when to set up a larger move by playing an event from your hand. You must weigh the importance of a card that you could play against the desire to discard the card and reroll your dice. You even need to determine exactly the right moment to end your turn by claiming the battlefield. Though the rules of Star Wars: Destiny are easy to learn, you’ll soon see that its strategy offers massive depths.
