Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game

Both players start with their own ten-card starter deck and take turns buying cards from a central row of six. You can only buy cards from your own faction and neutral cards, but you *can* attack your opponent's cards to destroy them and gain rewards. Capital ships absorb damage for your base, and once a base is destroyed, you choose a replacement with its own ability. A shared power meter moves back and forth between both players, providing extra resources or special card effects. The first player to destroy three enemy bases wins.

Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is a tight and accessible two-player duel that strongly evokes Star Realms but distinguishes itself with its asymmetrical factions, attacking the card market, and the power track. Reviewers highlight the high interactivity and smooth pacing as major advantages, and the Rebel/Empire asymmetry provides a different but balanced gameplay experience. Those who already own Star Realms will recognize similarities, but the thematic execution and basic structure give the game its own identity.
