Fantasy Flight Games details second Star Wars: Unlimited set, Shadows of the Galaxy

Fantasy Flight Games has detailed its second Star Wars: Unlimited set, Shadows of the Galaxy.

The Shadows of the Galaxy set expands gameplay with its Two-Player Starter set, boasting a collection of more than 250 cards. The set also introduces new Bounty Hunters and a fresh “bounty” mechanic.

New cards include the Moff Gideon and the Mandalorian leader cards, each with unique decks that introduce fresh gameplay tactics. Elsewhere, the Grogu Unit Card enables players to exhaust an enemy’s unit, mirroring Grogu’s abilities as seen in The Mandalorian. This card, in combination with the Mandalorian Unit Card, ‘captures the protective bond between the characters.’

“The team at Fantasy Flight Games has worked tirelessly to craft the Shadows of the Galaxy set,” said Daniel Schaefer, Lead Game Designer at Fantasy Flight Games.

“We knew we had to knock it out of the park with our second set, and we’re so excited about how it turned out. It’s full of new twists and turns for deck-building. We’re eager to see how it changes up everyone’s Star Wars: Unlimited game nights and takes gameplay to the next level.”

Jim Cartwright, VP of Strategy at Fantasy Flight Games, added: “We’re dedicated to providing a platform that evolves alongside the ever-expanding galaxy, ensuring that fans always have fresh and exciting ways to explore the Star Wars: Unlimited game.

“Our commitment does not stop here, and we are confident that players will appreciate the high-quality experience and collaborative opportunities that each set provides.”

The Shadows of the Galaxy set will be available for pre-order from July 2024 at hobby stores and at store.asmodee.com.
