So, how does this game work? Let’s break it down step by step. First, you need to choose your team of characters. Will you fight alongside the Sith Lords or join the heroic Jedi? The choice is yours!

Once you’ve assembled your team, it’s time to build your deck. Your deck is made up of powerful cards that represent various abilities, weapons, and strategies. With a well-crafted deck, you’ll have the upper hand in battle.

Now it’s time to face off against your opponent. The game is played using custom dice and cards with different actions and abilities.

The possibilities are endless.

As the game progresses, you’ll need to manage your resources carefully. Every action you take requires resources, so you’ll need to make strategic decisions about how to allocate them. Do you spend your resources on a powerful weapon or save them for a crucial defense? The choice is yours, but choose wisely!

One of the most exciting aspects of Star Wars: Destiny is the element of chance. The dice in the game introduce an element of unpredictability, adding an extra layer of excitement to each battle. You never know when a lucky roll of the dice will turn the tide in your favor.

Remember, in Star Wars: Destiny, it’s not just about winning battles. It’s also about the thrill of the game, the satisfaction of a well-executed strategy, and the immersive experience of stepping into the Star Wars universe. So, whether you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan or a casual gamer looking for a new adventure, Star Wars: Destiny is the game for you.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your lightsaber, choose your team, and embark on an epic journey in the world of Star Wars: Destiny. May the Force be with you!

In Star Wars: Destiny, you and I take control of our favorite Star Wars characters and battle each other for the fate of the galaxy.

During the game, our characters use lightsabers, blasters, and more in the form of dice. These awesome heroes and villains fight until only one team is left standing.

Setting up the Game

We each bring our own decks to the game. This starter set has one deck that we should play against each other. Both of us follow these steps to set up the game:

Alright, let’s get started with the game! Grab your character cards and place them in front of you. Don’t forget to also grab their dice. For this round, we’ll be playing as Kylo Ren and the First Order Stormtrooper. You’ll have 2 Kylo dice and 1 Stormtrooper die. If your opponent has the Rey starter set, they’ll be using Rey with 2 dice and Finn with 1 die. Keep the rest of your dice aside for now.

Here’s a quick reference for you

Take a look at the battlefield

Let’s start by organizing the different game tokens – damage, shields, and resources – into separate piles near where we’ll be playing. After that, you and I will each gain 2 resources and place them in front of ourselves.

Take a look at the image above. The Reg and Finn players rolled the highest total value (3 compared to 2). They get to choose which battlefield to use during the game.

Important Game Terms

• After: These abilities are used after something finishes occurring.
• Before: These abilities are used immediately before something occurs.
• Unblockable: When damage is “unblockable,” it can’t be blocked by shields and doesn’t remove any shields.
• Unique. Unique cards have an asterisk next to their title. You can’t have more than one copy of a unique card in play at once.
• Remove. When a die is removed, it goes back to the character or support card it came from without being used. You can only remove dice that are in a player’s dice pool.

Keywords

• Guardian: Before one of your characters with Guardian activates, you can choose to deal damage to it equal to the value of a die showing damage (X or Y).
• Redeploy: This keyword only appears on upgrades. After the attached character is defeated, you can immediately move this upgrade to any of your other characters. The upgrade die moves to the new character card, even if it was in your dice pool.
• Ambush: After playing a card with Ambush, you can immediately take one additional action.

What are Magic: The Gathering Cards?

Hey there, have you ever heard of Magic: The Gathering cards? They’re pretty cool, let me tell you about them. Magic: The Gathering is a popular trading card game that has been around for a long time. In this game, you play the role of a powerful wizard who can summon magical creatures, cast spells, and do all sorts of cool stuff. It’s like being in a fantasy world where anything is possible!

So, what exactly are these Magic: The Gathering cards? Well, they’re these small rectangular pieces of cardboard that have all sorts of information on them. Each card represents something different, like a creature or a spell. They have a picture on the front and a bunch of text on the back that tells you what the card does. It’s kind of like a mini instruction manual for playing the game!

Now, I mentioned that each card represents something different. That’s because there are many different types of cards in Magic: The Gathering. Some cards represent creatures that you can summon to fight for you, while others represent spells that you can cast to do all sorts of cool things. There are also cards that represent lands, which you can use to generate magical energy. It’s like having your own little fantasy world right in the palm of your hand.

Speaking of different types of cards, there are also subtypes. Subtypes are like categories that a card can belong to. For example, a card might have the subtype “Vehicle” or “Weapon.” These subtypes don’t have any specific rules associated with them, but they can be referenced by other cards in the game. It’s kind of like how different things can be related to each other in the real world.

So, that’s a basic overview of what Magic: The Gathering cards are. They’re these cool little pieces of cardboard that represent creatures, spells, and other things in the game. Each card is like a mini instruction manual, telling you what it does and how it can be used. It’s a whole world of fantasy and imagination packed into a small package.

Time to Play

When it’s time to play Star Wars: Destiny, you and your opponent will take turns. The player who controls the battlefield will go first. On your turn, you can take one action. Every action you take in the game is important, from playing cards to rolling dice.

Let me tell you about the different actions you can take:

• Play a card from your hand
• Activate a character or support
• Resolve your dice
• Discard a card to reroll your dice
• Use a card action
• Claim the battlefield

If you don’t want to take an action, you can pass. When both players pass in a row, it’s time for the upkeep phase, where you get ready for the next round.

Upkeep Phase

During the upkeep phase, you and your opponent do the following:

I’m excited to share some tips on how to play Star Wars Destiny! It’s a fun card game that’s easy to learn. So, let’s dive in!

First, let’s talk about the basics. To begin, you need to prepare your exhausted cards. Simply return all the dice in your dice pool to their matching cards. This sets the stage for an exciting game.

Now, let’s move on to the next step: gaining resources. In Star Wars Destiny, resources are crucial to your success. During your turn, you have the opportunity to gain 2 resources. These resources will come in handy as you progress in the game.

Next, let’s discuss your hand of cards. You have the option to discard as many cards as you want from your hand. After discarding, you can redraw until you have 5 cards in your hand. This allows you to strategically choose the cards that will benefit you the most in your gameplay.

Once you’ve completed these steps, it’s time to start taking turns again. The player who controls the battlefield goes first. Then, each player takes turns and performs upkeep phases until a winner emerges!

Now, let’s delve into some important details about the cards themselves. Cards can be in two states: ready (upright) or exhausted (sideways). When you play a card, it starts in the ready position. However, certain abilities or rules might require you to exhaust a card, which means you need to turn it sideways. An exhausted card cannot be exhausted again, so keep that in mind during gameplay.

To visualize this, here’s an image of a ready card:

And that’s all there is to it! You now have a solid understanding of how to play Star Wars Destiny. So grab your cards, gather your friends, and May the Force be with you as you embark on an epic gaming adventure!

Here are the basics of playing Star Wars Destiny:

First, let’s talk about the colors and spotting on the cards. Each card belongs to one of four colors: Blue, Red, Yellow, or Gray. Blue cards represent the Force, red cards represent Command, yellow cards represent Rogue, and gray cards represent everything else.

To use certain cards, you need to have a character of a specific color in play. This means that you must have at least one character of that color on the table.

Now, let’s discuss resources and costs. In Star Wars Destiny, you have resources that you can spend to play cards. Each card has a cost listed in the corner. To play a card, you need to have enough resources to cover its cost.

To gain resources, you can use cards or abilities that allow you to generate resources. Some cards have a resource symbol on them, indicating that you gain a resource when you play that card.

Remember, you need to carefully manage your resources and choose which cards to play based on their costs. It’s all about making strategic decisions and using your resources wisely.

That’s the basics of playing Star Wars Destiny. Now, go out there and may the Force be with you!



When you want to play a card in the game, you have to spend resources that are equal to the cost of that card. You can find the cost of a card at the top left corner of the card. You earn two resources during each upkeep phase, and there is a chance to earn more resources by rolling the resource symbol on your dice.

Actions

1. Play a Card from Your Hand

There are three types of cards that you can play: events, upgrades, and supports. You can see the card’s type listed above its ability. To play a card, spend resources that are equal to its cost.



Playing an Event: First, I want to remind you that when you play an Event card, you have to follow the instructions written on the card. After that, you should discard the card to your discard pile. This is a pile of face-up cards that sits next to your deck, where you put all the cards you have finished using.

Playing an Upgrade:

When I want to make my character even better, I can attach a card to them by putting it under the character. These cards are called “upgrades.” Upgrades can do lots of different things, and they stay in play for as long as I want. Most upgrades also come with a special die that goes with them. On the left side of the card, there are six sides of the die that are used to show what the upgrade does. When I play an upgrade with a die, I take the matching die from my set-aside dice and put it on the character. But a character can only have up to three upgrades at a time. If I want to play a new upgrade but already have three, I can choose to replace an old one with the new one. To do that, I just have to pay the difference in cost between the two upgrades. Then I discard the old upgrade.

1. Playing a Support: Put the card on the table in front of me, beside my characters. Supports have special effects that can be used over and over again, and they stay in play. Some supports even come with dice. If that’s the case, I’ll take the matching die and put it on the card.

2. Activate a Character or Support

When I activate a character or support, I’m rolling its dice. First, the card needs to be ready. Then, I’ll exhaust the card and roll all of its dice. I’ll place these dice in front of my characters.

Now, these dice are in my dice pool, and I can use them in a future turn (more on that in the “Resolve Your Dice” section below).

When I activate a character, I roll both its character dice and its upgrade dice. But when I activate a support, it only rolls its own die into the dice pool.



Step 3: Use Your Dice

Here’s how you can make the most of the dice in your dice pool. You have the power to use as many dice as you’d like that share the same symbol, one at a time. After you’ve used a die, it goes back to its original card.

Each die has a different effect based on its symbol. The effects are explained below. Remember, the side of a die usually has a value above its symbol that shows how strong it is. For example, a 2X symbol means you can deal 2 points of damage to a character, while a 2◆ symbol means you can give a character 2 shields.

Modifiers and Costs



So, I bet you’ve noticed that some dice have these blue sides with a plus sign (+) in front of the number. They might look a bit confusing at first, but I’m here to break it down for you. See, those blue plus sides can only be used when you have another die in your pool that shows the same symbol without a plus.

Here’s the deal: when you go to resolve your dice, you add the plus value to the other die to create a whole new value. It’s kind of like combining the two dice into one super-powered roll. Pretty cool, right?

So, the next time you see one of those dice with the blue plus sides, don’t be intimidated. Embrace the plus and let it work its magic during your game. You’ll be rolling like a pro in no time!





When you look at the dice sides, you may notice a little icon () in a yellow box. This icon represents a specific resource that you need to pay in order to resolve that side of the die.

Damage, Shields, and Defeating Characters

When a die, either on its own or with modifiers, causes damage, that damage must be assigned to a single character. To keep track of the damage, you’ll need to use damage tokens. These tokens come in two sizes: ones and threes.

Health

If the character has any shields, they can block one unit of damage for each shield they have. Once a shield blocks damage, it is removed from the character.

When a character takes damage equal to its total health, it is considered defeated. All of its dice, both character and upgrade, are removed from the game, and any upgrades attached to it are discarded. The character card itself is also removed from the game.

After being defeated, the character can no longer be activated, targeted by effects, or used to play cards.

4. Reroll Dice by Discarding a Card

You can choose to discard a card from your hand in order to reroll one or more dice in your dice pool. Before rerolling, you must select all the dice you want to reroll.

5. Take an Action on a Card

Some support, upgrade, and character cards have special actions listed on them. These actions will be denoted by the bolded word “Action.” To use one of these actions, simply follow the instructions on the card.

6. Control the Battlefield

Hey there! I’m here to help you understand how to claim the battlefield in this game and what happens when you do. Ready? Let’s dive in!

So, in this game, only one player can claim the battlefield each round. When you claim the battlefield, you get to use its special “Claim” ability right away. Pretty cool, right? If you didn’t control the battlefield before, you’ll take control of it by moving it next to your deck. It’s like making it yours!

Now, here’s the interesting part. Once you’ve claimed the battlefield, you’re done taking actions for the rest of the round. You get to sit back and relax while your opponent continues to take actions. However, they can’t claim the battlefield during this round. It’s all yours!

Important: Passing

Okay, hold on a second. What if you don’t want to take any actions? Well, you have the option to pass. When you pass, you basically say, “I’m good for now, but I might take an action later.” You don’t do anything at that moment, but you still have the choice to take an action after your opponent is done. It’s like hitting the pause button!

Now, here comes the endgame. There are two ways to win this game:

• Defeat all of your opponent’s characters.

If you manage to make your opponent run out of cards in their hand and deck during a round, you’ll win the game. However, if both players accomplish this, the one in control of the battlefield gets the victory.

To make the game even more exciting, you can customize your deck with other cards and dice (sold separately). This way, you can select your favorite characters, upgrades, events, supports, and battlefield, and put them to the test against any challenger.

When customizing, each player must have their own team of characters, a 30-card deck, 1 battlefield, and all the dice that match the chosen cards.

Now, let’s talk about building your team.



Hey there! Let me walk you through the process of building your ultimate team. You’ve got a total of 30 points to work with, and each character has a point value displayed in the lower left corner of their card.

But wait, there’s more! On the right side of the point value, you’ll see a tiny box that tells you if the character is a hero or a villain. Now, here’s the catch: you’ve gotta choose either all heroes or all villains for your lineup. No mixing allowed!

Now, the choice is yours: you can have characters of the same color or different colors. It’s all up to you and your strategy!

When picking characters, here’s the deal: you can only choose one copy of each unique (�) character, but hey, you can have as many copies of non-unique characters as you want. Oh, and by the way, non-unique characters always use one die.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Unique characters have not one, but two different point values. You’ll see those values separated by a handy little backslash (/). You have a choice to make – do you go with the smaller point value and score one die for that character, or do you unleash their full power by selecting the larger value and getting two dice? Decisions, decisions!

Okay, let’s talk about deck-building rules. Here’s the deal – you can’t have more than two copies of the same card in your deck. Keep it fresh, keep it diverse!

When it comes to the card game, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, each card is labeled as either a hero, villain, or neutral. This information is located at the bottom of the card. It’s important to note that if you choose hero characters, you cannot have any villain cards in your deck, and vice versa. However, you can include neutral cards in any deck.

Next, there are different colored cards: blue, red, yellow, and gray. You can only include blue, red, and yellow cards in your deck if you have a character on your team of the same color. On the other hand, gray cards can be included in any deck.

Your deck can have a variety of cards such as events, upgrades, and support cards. However, keep in mind that character cards and battlefields cannot be included in your deck and do not count toward your 30 card limit.

Finally, you need to select a battlefield. Each player brings a battlefield to the game, and one of the players’ battlefields will be used for each game. It’s important to carefully consider your choice of battlefield as it can have a significant impact on the game. So take your time and choose wisely!

Remember, understanding the rules and restrictions of the game is essential to be successful. By following these guidelines, you can create a deck that suits your playstyle and maximize your chances of victory. Have fun exploring the exciting world of card games!
