This game looks really good.

All of FFGs Star Wars games look really good.

I really hope Disney doesn't mess it up and all three games can have a nice, long life.

So I bought the core set and played a game with my boss last night - loved it.

We had a couple of questions though. He had an enhance location card that said something like it matched the resource for any objective for any faction. How does that work? We played it as he gets two resources for the price of one on that particular objective.

Also traps, are they one use and done?

I am just going to fill this thread with stupid newbie questions.

There are only 3 force packs out right now correct? FFGs site is all screwy for me to pin that down.

Amazon indicates 4

If I have an objective that can generate 3 resources and I spend 2 to bring in a card, is that objective now "readied" and I cant spend the 1 remaining?

Edit: oh i read the next paragraph in the rule book nevermind

Ughh, I love this game so much. It sucks no one around here plays anything but Warmachine (which is awesome, I play a lot) or Magic (boo).

Anyone here in Delmarva?

The new Sith set seems really, really, really dope.

Also, if you destroy the Alderaan objective, destroy the Alderaan characters. Awesome.

I know their shipping times aren't always accurate, but they have Balance of the Force listed as being Q4 and Heroes and Legends being January :(

Balance of the Force is still 'at the printers'.

I expect it to go to 'on the boat' in late October, and we should get it at during, or shortly after worlds. Then the new cycle will start at the beginning of next year, which makes sense.

It is a bit disappointing that the only new thing between now and the next cycle is a multiplayer deluxe box set, which is going to have minimal impact on the 1v1 game.

Yeah. They've already done their preview for the 5th data pack for the second cycle of Netrunner cards and nothing past the first Star Wars one.

I mean, I never get to play the game anyway so it doesn't matter, but it'd be nice you know?

That'll give you the most options if you want to play casually with some friends. If you want to work to tournament you need force packs ASAP since some of the best cards are there.

For fucks sake, Heroes and Legends is now February on FFG's site.

FFG is killing this game in my area.

It wasn't huge, but I got a couple of people interested and playing and 2 other guys even bought some stuff instead of just using my cards. But no one is interested in this except for me anymore.

We had a really popular league at my FLGS, should be startin' back up after the New Year. FFG gonna FFG, but yeah this is pretty bad.

Well, in April I'm moving to Salem, Oregon and I guess they have a very robust Star Wars (LCG, RPG, and X-Wing) scene there, so I guess I'll just buy stuff until I get there and get back into it then.

So I just picked up a cheap copy of this game to play casually with my less serious game friends. Is there a recommended purchase order for the add-on packs, and what should I buy for organizing/protecting the stuff?

For organizing, I have two binders (light side and dark side) then divided by faction. The very first page is my commit to the force and faction id cards.

Each page is either 2 copies or 1 copy of the pod depending on if its a one off or not.

The first copy of the pod is laid put in the top two rows in order and the second copy are doubled up into the bottom row, also in order.
