Captain Phasma and Count Dooku battle Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Jango Fett and Jabba the Hutt attack Rey and Finn as they pass through the frozen wastes of Starkiller Base. 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.

Q: What the gently caress is this poo poo?!
A: Star Wars: Destiny is FFG's attempt to collect all the money of Magic: The Gathering, Star Wars, and Dicemasters at the same time. Cards are purchased through starter packs and random boosters, where each booster contains 5 cards and 1 die to match a card in the pack.

Your characters will do battle with enemy characters in an attempt to defeat all of them or run out the opposing player's deck.

Q: How much is it?
A: $15 for a starter and $3 for a booster, give or take.

Q: What does it look like?
A:

Pictured: Decks, characters, upgrades, support cards, dice, etc.

Q: How do I play?
A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gPu9pp2WOM
Players alternate actions to prepare and roll dice into their pools, then use those dice to support themselves, deal damage, etc. Players can also play support cards and upgrade cards which may or may not grant additional dice to be rolled.

Q: What the gently caress do all those symbols mean?
A:


Q: Aren't CCGs soul and wallet draining nightmares?
A: Yes. But this is kept to a minimum by keeping decks small (30 cards) and only allowing two of any given non-unique card.

Rules, Etc.

Q: Is there any way I can play this without spending a ton of money?

A second finn dice isn't really very good. Mind probe and force throw however are both amazing.

So far I've opened ~100 boosters and done some trading. I've got 2 Han, 3 Poe, 2 Falcons, 2 black ones, 2 of each legendary lightsabers, 2 thermal detonators, a Jabba, a one with the force and a commanding presence.

I got destroyed by my mates Luke + Launch Bay deck last night though. God drat Launch Bay is a lot of pressure when it hits the table.

What are the answers to Launch Bay? So far I see AT-ST and Force Throw?

Pretty much. Otherwise your normal mitigation should work as long as you meet the requirements. If they have the battle field and roll it in first though it can be tough to stop.

My current deck is not super mitigation heavy, but relies on being as angry and fast as possible:

quote:

4x First Order Stormtrooper (28/30 points)

Battlefield: Imperial Armory

Upgrades:
2x F-11D Rifle
2x Promotion
2x Datapad
2x IQA-11 Blaster Rifle

Supports:
2x Supporting Fire
2x First Order TIE Fighter
2x Drudge Work

Events: 2x Block
2x Dodge
2x Flank
2x Endless Ranks
2x Squad Tactics
2x Firepower
2x Logistics
2x Tactical Mastery

I suppose this just tries to get rolling before Launch Bay can set up. Might swap in a Night Sister to get access to blue/power of the dark side to use all the blanks on the stormtroopers OR a Tusken Raider to open yellow.

It's not my favorite option and I don't have a concrete deck built for it, but it was suggested to me. I'm seeing Go For the Kill, Black Market.

the deck is still mostly red and just leans really hard on ranged damage, plus Endless Ranks to give it an effective 40some hit points

How did they structure the tournament? We are trying our first event today and have 13 players. We're doing 75min rounds, best 2 out of 3. I feel like we will end up with a lot of draws and I'm interested to see how FFG structures the official rules. I feel like the game can play quickly if people are up to speed, and one-and-done feels bad if you lose to Grievous aggro in 10 minutes.

it was just 3 quick one and done rounds. nothing fancy.

Anything I have more than two of is up for trade (especially Poe, I gots four of him). Obviously I'm looking to get myself up to 2 on everything.

1x Leia

1x DH-17 blaster
1x Anticipate
1x Supporting Fire

I know most people like to figure out trades based on value, but I like the idea of 3 common = 1 uncommon, 3 uncommon = 1 rare, 3 rare = 1 legendary, and straight across like for like (e.g. rare for rare). I feel like so many people stress so much about getting their dollars worth on a game that they lose perspective that it is still a game and should be simply for your enjoyment*

Let me know what you want from my 3x+ stock and I'm generally OK with it as long as it's like for like as described above.



* I've been drinking and watching Christmas movies all day, so I've got the whole Christmas spirit thing going on.

I mean, if you're down for straight across trading, then you're asking me for 3 Rares and 2 Uncommons, and I'd trade for say:
Sith Holocron
IQA-11 Blaster Rifle
Jango Fett
2 Willpower

It's a bit biased on my side though, so let me know. Not by much, though, fortunatley IQA-11 isn't a super big ticket rare. Just works well in my trooper deck.

I'm trying to build a deck that utilizes Poe Damerons ability to do broken poo poo and i'm looking for more ideas. I got excited earlier when I thought I could roll with Finn and run Crime Lord in my deck, but no go since his ability only applies to weapons and vehicles. Right now the best thing is Thermal Detonator which is a straight 3 damage from the hand to every opposing character. Obviously gonna roll with Launch Bay and Black One. I could still run with Finn which gives me access to AT-ST.

Can you guys think of anything else stupid I could resolve right from my hand in a Poe Dameron deck? Or cards that let me return cards from the discard pile to my hand.
