Calling all Star Wars card game enthusiasts! Edge of Darkness is the first deluxe expansion for the already fantastic Star Wars: The Card Game, injecting 22 new objective sets and 132 cards into your galactic battles. This expansion lets you dive into the fray as two fresh affiliations: the dark side's Scum and Villainy, or the light side's cunning Smugglers and Spies. Both factions operate on the fringes of Imperial law, so expect plenty of action inspired by the original trilogy, with themes centered around Tatooine and Cloud City. Get ready to encounter Jawas, Tuskens, bounty hunters, and iconic characters like Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, Greedo, Bossk, and Jabba the Hutt. Edge of Darkness not only allows you to relive classic moments but also opens up possibilities for exploring uncharted events within the Star Wars universe, from Jabba's Palace to the Outer Rim. Each faction has its unique path to victory, and this expansion lets you delve into the lives of smugglers, gangsters, and rogues shaping the galaxy's fate. It's a must-have for those seeking deeper strategies and more content for the base game.
