About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an epic duel in the Star Wars universe with Star Wars: Rivals – Series 1: Premier Set! This is an expandable card game where the Force divides and the Light and Dark Sides clash in a strategic battle. Each player assembles their own squadron, choosing iconic characters from various eras of the saga. The Premier Set already comes packed with heavy hitters to get you started: Luke Skywalker and Commander Cody representing the Light Side, against Darth Vader and Asajj Ventress on the Dark Side. In addition to the four characters, the box is loaded with 14 action cards, 18 tokens and markers, 12 location cards, and a super stylish prism die. Each character has their three unique action cards, and the main goal is to use your heroes (or villains!) to dominate the location cards spread across the field. The beauty of Star Wars: Rivals is that it works perfectly as a standalone game, but if you want to expand your army and create even more powerful squadrons, whether for the Light or Dark Side, you can add new characters that come in booster packs. It's the perfect chance to see who has the best strategy and who masters the Force!
