About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to decide the fate of the galaxy, from the bustling Core Worlds to the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim. In Star Wars: Shatterpoint, you aren't commanding massive armies, but rather elite strike teams composed of iconic characters. The fun starts with squad building: you can stick to the theme and assemble a team with Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan Kryze, or embrace the brutality of Lord Maul and his super commandos. For the true strategists, there's the option to build a custom squad, optimizing every ability to crush the current mission's objectives.
The game is an intense tactical duel where every single move matters. You'll leverage each character's unique abilities and diverse combat skills to dictate the flow of battle. The real twist is that mission objectives are dynamic and evolve during the game, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly. It's not just about who hits the hardest, but who can control the battlefield and complete tasks while chaos unfolds around them.
Featuring a fluid combat system that blends precise measurement with the thrill of dice rolling, the game delivers that cinematic Star Wars fight feeling. The interaction between character 'tags' and the clever use of the environment makes every match unique. If you enjoy miniature wargames but are looking for something faster and more hero-focused than controlling hundreds of soldiers, Shatterpoint is your perfect match. It's tactical, visually stunning, and puts you in charge of legendary confrontations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need a lot of wargaming experience to play?
Not necessarily, but since it has a medium/high weight (3.3), expect to spend some time learning the measurement and line-of-sight rules.
How many people can play?
The game is specifically designed for 2 players, acting as a direct duel between two commanders.
How long does a game last?
Usually between 90 and 120 minutes, depending on the mission's complexity and the players' experience.
Are the miniatures pre-assembled or do I build them?
They come as kits to assemble and paint, which is great for hobbyists but requires some patience.
Is the game focused on annihilating the opponent?
Not entirely! While combat is central, the main focus is completing mission objectives, which evolve during the match.
Is the game complex?
It's aimed at 'Expert' players. There are several layers of rules (tags, zones of control, measurements), but it all fits perfectly within the theme.
