2024-04-19 This card came together by attaching a bunch of red words together: grit (red), reward for damaging a base (red), ready a unit (red). We allowed it to see your own base being damaged as a comeback mechanic, which I always prefer Tyler Parrott Guerilla Attack Pod FFGStaff
2024-04-19 Be sure to have the exact upgrade or Mandalorian cards you need with the new card, This is the Way! Fantasy Flight Games This Is The Way
2024-04-17 We wanted an anti-control card, something that really punished players for accumulating cards and not putting them onto the table. But we didn't want to wholly take away peoples' agency, so we decided to reset to 2 cards instead of discarding all of them Tyler Parrott Smoke and Cinders FFGStaff
2024-04-17 With the ability to deal damage to an opponent’s unit equal to his power, the Crosshair unit can make quick work of your opponent’s units while keeping his HP intact! Fantasy Flight Games Crosshair, Following Orders
2024-04-17 With two new mechanics already revealed for Shadows of the Galaxy, it’s time to check out the final new piece: Smuggle! Read on to see how the Smuggle mechanic can help you play cards that you had carefully hidden away Fantasy Flight Games Rules Smuggle
2024-04-16 With the Command and Villainy aspects, the Crosshair unit card has two abilities. Can you guess what they may be? Fantasy Flight Games Crosshair, Following Orders Card Reveals Shadows of the Galaxy
2024-04-15 Underworld Thug is the perfect litmus test for me: it's consistently too weak to be desirable (good, it's colorless), but as a vanilla it provides a clear curve of how power increases as cards acquire aspects. Tyler Parrott Underworld Thug FFGStaff
2024-04-15 We’re back with another art drop for Shadows of the Galaxy! Can you guess the name, subtitle, and aspects of the character below? Tune in tomorrow to see if you were correct! Fantasy Flight Games Card Reveals Art Shadows of the Galaxy Lore:Crosshair
2024-04-12 We couldn't have a Mandalorian starter without Grogu. The little guy went through lots of revisions as we tried to get across "distract & debuff," and it wasn't until we realized we could achieve it with more HP ... Tyler Parrott Grogu, Irresistible FFGStaff
2024-04-12 With Chirrut Îmwe as the leader, this deck focuses on powering up one unit with as many upgrades as you can find and making sure your opponent’s pesky Sentinels don’t get in the way... Fantasy Flight Games Deck Tech Chirrut Îmwe, One With The Force Joe O'Neil
2024-04-11 It’s not all bounty hunters and smugglers in the Shadows of the Galaxy! The Bad Batch arrives in StarWarsUnlimited this July! Fantasy Flight Games Lore:Hunter Art
2024-04-10 Moff Gideon was introduced as a leader of an army of troopers (storm, death, and dark), so we wanted "small units" to be his identity. The key was making sure the power buff on his front was conditional enough and in-color... Tyler Parrott Moff Gideon, Formidable Commander FFGStaff
2024-04-10 Livestream in 15 minutes! Let's talk about art in Unlimited! Tyler Parrott Art Shadows of the Galaxy FFGStaff

2024-04-09 Be careful, the Shadows of the Galaxy are full of untrustworthy characters and unpleasant creatures. Fantasy Flight Games Art Lore:Salacious B. Crumb
2024-04-08 Mandalorians in Set 2 have a prominent "upgrades matter" theme given the importance of their gear (in and out of lore). Also, we wanted this character to work with Bounty upgrades. Hence the "when you play an upgrade" trigger... Tyler Parrott The Mandalorian, Sworn To The Creed FFGStaff
2024-04-05 When we designed the colorless cards, we wanted to hit certain goals: make colorless units to reward certain traits, serve as late draft picks, and provide metagame answers to problematic play patterns... Tyler Parrott Restock FFGStaff
2024-04-04 The Rebel leaders excel at working together, but which one do you play most often? Let us know in the comments below! Fantasy Flight Games Leader Heroism (Aspect)
2024-04-03 Shadows of the Galaxy! Let's go play "outside the law" for a few months, shall we? Tyler Parrott Shadows of the Galaxy FFGStaff
2024-04-03 This card has surprised me. I usually overlook grey cards, as they're intentionally at a low power level on account of having no deckbuilding cost, but we did also want it to be a reward for Vehicle decks (regardless of color) ... Tyler Parrott Frontier AT-RT FFGStaff
2024-04-03 We're chatting about the Shadows of the Galaxy First Look at 1pm CST! Fantasy Flight Games Shadows of the Galaxy Livestreams

2024-04-01 Iden Versio was intended to be the blue/villain "control deck" leader, so I wanted to make Inferno Squad align with her. Gideon fills the role of "giant finisher" & the fact that they have the same triggering condition ... Tyler Parrott Gideon Hask, Ruthless Loyalist FFGStaff

2024-03-29 Much has been said of this card's theme, but I want to talk about how well it's balanced. We want good card draw to be "pay X, conditionally draw X cards" which this is. Also, we would never dream of 3 cost deal 7, ... Tyler Parrott I Am Your Father FFGStaff
2024-03-28 Everybody's got that one card that they just seem to keep opening. What's yours? (I've opened 8 Bodhis over about 3 boxes) Tyler Parrott Pack Distribution FFGStaff
2024-03-27 Force Lightning was guaranteed to be in Set 1—it's one of the most iconic things in all of Star Wars. In previous SW games it has always been a "defeat a unit" style card, but we wanted it in red... Tyler Parrott Force Lightning FFGStaff

2024-03-25 It's me! We'll be chatting about Unlimited design on the livestream. If you've enjoyed my "Designer Insights" that I post regularly here, you'll love our discussion on Wednesday! Tyler Parrott Livestreams Design FFGStaff
2024-03-25 There was never any doubt in our mind that this card was going to exist in Set 1, with this text & title & aspects. The only question was one of cost. We tried it initially at 7 resources for a while... Tyler Parrott Superlaser Blast FFGStaff
2024-03-25 Our team had an amazing time attending PAX East this weekend, playing dozens of games, and chatting about STAR WARS: Unlimited! Thank you all for joining us! Fantasy Flight Games PAX East
2024-03-24 It’s the last day of PAX East, so be sure to join a learn-to-play or stop by the designer signing sessions from 2-3pm! Fantasy Flight Games PAX East
2024-03-23 We are delighted to be featured alongside such amazing companies for the ImperialMarch event! If you’re in NYC, check out our display at the Empire State Building! Fantasy Flight Games ImperialMarch Products
2024-03-22 This card was BUSTED for a good chunk of playtesting, so we brought it down to desirable levels (which is to say, an exciting dream to chase but not risking an unfun Sneak Attack Meta™). We intentionally made it cost 2... Tyler Parrott Sneak Attack FFGStaff

2024-03-20 We want to thank the community of players, collectors, and retailers around this game for the overwhelming support since release! This is only the beginning! Fantasy Flight Games Product Distribution Retail
2024-03-20 Late in development we realized red/villain aggressive decks needed some ways to finish off an opponent who stabilized at low base HP, and we didn't like our design for the Raider... Tyler Parrott Ruthless Raider FFGStaff
2024-03-19 With the release of Spark of Rebellion, we’re beginning a new segment: Top Decks! Each week we’ll let you know the top five leaders that players are building around utilizing http://StarWarsUnlimited.com Fantasy Flight Games Deck List
2024-03-18 With Y/V having a small "events-matter" theme in Set 1, it made a lot of sense to make a cheap discount unit. Being shielded makes him more survivable, and since we wanted this unit to be strong, we made him a named character... Tyler Parrott Bib Fortuna, Jabba’s Majordomo FFGStaff
2024-03-13 Grit is an interesting keyword because it scales nonlinearly based on the unit's HP. Having grit on a 2 HP unit is significantly weaker than having grit on a 5 HP unit, etc... Tyler Parrott Scout Bike Pursuer Grit FFGStaff
2024-03-11 One of red's weaknesses is dealing with high-HP units. Red gets access to board wipes as a control tool, but only for small units—beyond the first 3 HP, you'll need to use Tarkintowns and Sabine (unit)s and Seventh Sisters to finish them off Tyler Parrott Bombing Run FFGStaff
2024-03-09 Release weekend! We're playing prerelease sealed! Tyler Parrott Release Date FFGStaff
2024-03-08 Got my decks ready for release weekend! Spent some time hunting down the showcase leaders I want to build decks for in Set 1, now the hyperspace hunt begins Tyler Parrott Showcase Hyperspace FFGStaff
2024-03-08 It's been a long (almost) three years since we started down this road, but here we are. I've been floored by the audience reception to the game. It's so much fun to play and it's so rewarding seeing everyone's enthusiasm... Tyler Parrott Release Date Thankfullness FFGStaff
2024-03-07 Heading to PAX East? So is the STAR WARS: Unlimited team! Be sure to stop by Booth TT92 for a demo or swing by the signing sessions daily. This will also be the first event where we feature Designer Duels... Fantasy Flight Games PAX East Demo
2024-03-06 That sounds like an accurate assessment. It's hard to play an 8-cost card in draft/sealed, so I would expect it to show up mostly in constructed, unless you build a deck that's specifically full of ramp or early-game control Tyler Parrott Reinforcement Walker Draft FFGStaff
2024-03-06 One of the weaknesses of ramp is that it easily gets run over by aggro decks. So we wanted to include an expensive green unit that can consistently heal your base, but intentionally gave it weaker stats so it's vulnerable to removal... Tyler Parrott Reinforcement Walker FFGStaff
2024-03-05 Don't Get Cocky was a card concept I loved from the Star Wars LCG (when I played that game), being a particularly fun sequence from my favorite Star Wars movie. I insisted we have an event with this title & art... Tyler Parrott Don't Get Cocky FFGStaff
2024-03-05 🤔 You know, come to think of it, 'people living in the Shadows of the Galaxy' probably does include scavengers, doesn't it? Tyler Parrott Lore:Rey Skywalker FFGStaff

2024-03-01 When I worked on L5R, one of the most notorious cards in the game was Let Go—a 0 cost event that defeated any upgrade. It was too strong, but the real issue was assigned to a faction so only 1/7th of players got to use it... Tyler Parrott Confiscate FFGStaff
2024-02-28 Me he enterado de que hay publicidad con mi poster en el metro de Madrid/Bcn. ¿Alguien sería tan amable de mandarme una foto bien hecha si se encuentra con él? Gracias David Buisan Art Advertizement Spanish

2024-02-27 It's not that rare leaders /don't/ work well in limited, but rather that they're /optimized/ for constructed. Additionally flexibility isn't /bad/ in constructed, ... Tyler Parrott Cassian Andor, Dedicated to the Rebellion Le Festival International des Jeux de Cannes FFGStaff
2024-02-27 ...it's possible that Cassian and Sabine would make more sense with swapped rarities, and we even discussed it. But at the time we were concerned Cassian would be too /strong/ in draft, and we didn't want to compromise his design. Tyler Parrott Cassian Andor, Dedicated to the Rebellion Sabine Wren, Galvanized Revolutionary Sealed Rarity

2024-02-21 Haha because the cycle was never by trait. This is the first time someone's noticed that three of the common upgrades share a trait (Resilient being the 4th common upgrade) Tyler Parrott Learned Vigilance (Aspect)

2024-02-20 I didn't realise I needed a foil Greedo card in my life until today.. 😁 Sorastro's Painting Greedo, Slow on the Draw Foil
2024-02-19 Keep the pressure on your opponent’s base with the Showcase variant of the Sabine Wren leader! Fantasy Flight Games Sabine Wren, Galvanized Revolutionary Showcase
2024-02-19 I'd call heroism/villainy bases an 'if' not a 'when' Tyler Parrott Heroism (Aspect) Villainy (Aspect) Base FFGStaff
2024-02-19 In Set 1, the Force is intentionally skewed towards red and blue (that won't always be true). When deciding what the BB unique sentinel should be, the Bendu felt like a natural home as a giant neutral Force unit—and after that... Tyler Parrott Bendu, The One in the Middle Force FFGStaff
2024-02-19 I'm so excited to try out the new Star Wars: Unlimited card game by FFG! I really love the art style they chose to go with, with it's gorgeous retro kind of vibe. And it's awesome that they include the key word definitions on the actual cards! 😀 Sorastro's Painting Art Products
2024-02-16 The Comprehensive Rules for STAR WARS: Unlimited are here! You can read up on specific rules interactions, formats, and more on our website: Fantasy Flight Games Comprehensive Rules
2024-02-16 I'll admit, I felt very clever coming up with it 🤣 Tyler Parrott Rukh, Thrawn's Assassin FFGStaff
2024-02-16 Most species don't get traits; we generally only include traits that we intend to support mechanically in the future, plus certain /super iconic/ Star Wars species. Tyler Parrott Category:Lore/Species
2024-02-16 Green is not normally supposed to get shielded, but we wanted to make an exception for Rukh, both for theme (he's a sneaky assassin) and for mechanics—his defeat-by-damage ability played horribly when it worked on defense... Tyler Parrott Rukh, Thrawn's Assassin Command (Aspect) Shielded
2024-02-16 Exactly as planned, Grand Admiral Thrawn’s Showcase variant has arrived! Allowing you to see the top card of every player’s deck will put you one step ahead of your opponent at every turn! Fantasy Flight Games Grand Admiral Thrawn, Patient and Insightful
2024-02-14 Gamorrean Guards have been popular since their introduction in the '80s. Originally we had just a single Gamorrean Guard, but when the unit kept getting larger it felt appropriate to pluralize the concept... Tyler Parrott Gamorrean Guards
2024-02-12 In early design, this was Temple Guard Chirrut, showing that not everyone is always heroic or villainous. When we made Chirrut a leader, that let us include Baze—and while it's odd for him to not match Chirrut's aspects... Tyler Parrott Baze Malbus, Temple Guardian FFGStaff
2024-02-11 I am a deeply unserious person but this was an exceptionally fun event! The game is so fun and the cards are absolutely gorgeous. Thank you to the @fantasyflightgames team for having me and for having the DJ play Party In The USA. Krystina Arielle Star Wars: Unlimited Community Celebration

2024-02-10 Pretty good starting point to a sealed deck I think... Tyler Parrott Sealed Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight FFGStaff Star Wars: Unlimited Community Celebration
2024-02-09 Limitless card draw is one of the most dangerous things we can put in a game. This line of text is really exciting and thematic, but when he can start drawing cards right away, and potentially create a repeatable engine... Tyler Parrott Card Draw General Krell, Heartless Tactician FFGStaff
2024-02-09 Most of Set 1 was designed bottom-up, and we liked a GG unique that made all your other units defeat into cards (very green). The character choice for this card was immediate, and when people internally love ... Tyler Parrott General Krell, Heartless Tactician FFGStaff

2024-02-07 New card revealed: Saw Gerrera David Buisan Saw Gerrera, Extremist Art
2024-02-07 A common way to make common unit concepts is to take a beloved character and "genericize" them. (In this case, Chirrut.) Fortunately, the comics were a huge boon because the Guardians of the Whills have appeared as an organization.. Tyler Parrott Guardian of the Whills FFGStaff
2024-02-05 The STAR WARS: Unlimited Community Celebration Livestream will be kicking off this Saturday! We’ve invited guests from the community to join us for a day of games and you can join the link below to catch all of it! Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars: Unlimited Community Celebration
2024-02-05 Make your opponent think twice before playing that event with this week’s Aggression card! Fantasy Flight Games Saw Gerrera, Extremist
2024-02-05 There was never any question about whether or not we would cross arenas in the first set. However, it did illustrate a size discrepancy between the arenas: if a TIE Fighter is on the ground... Tyler Parrott Strafing Gunship
2024-02-02 Our final leader for Spark of Rebellion has arrived! With the ability to damage your opponent's units at the cost of defeating your own, the Emperor Palpatine leader card allows you to take control of one of those damaged units when he is deployed! Fantasy Flight Games Emperor Palpatine, Galactic Ruler
2024-02-02 The reason Star Wars is so great for TCGs is that everything is somebody's favorite. I can make even a simple draft common exciting to someone by making it an aspect of the lore that they love, and who knows—maybe being a Jawa will matter some day! Tyler Parrott Jawa Scavenger FFGStaff
