About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for aerial combat with the K-wing expansion for X-Wing! This Rebel Alliance ship isn't just a heavy bomber; it can also serve as an escort or for reconnaissance missions. The K-wing is perfect for those 'hit-and-run' operations, thanks to its surprising acceleration, robust armor, and devastating weaponry.

With four shields and five hull points, it stands out as one of the most durable small-base fighters in the game. And don't let its appearance fool you, as it comes equipped with a primary turret weapon boasting an attack value of '2.' But the real game-changer is the new SLAM action, allowing the K-wing to speed across the battlefield and deploy its bombs with unprecedented velocity, catching enemies off guard.

This expansion includes a detailed 1/270 scale K-wing miniature, four ship cards, and nine upgrade cards to supercharge its ordnance. If you enjoy fast-attack tactics and want to add a durable, high-firepower ship to your Rebel fleet, the K-wing is a worthwhile addition. It adds an interesting tactical layer, especially against slow capital ships or planetary targets. Remember that, as an expansion, it requires the base X-Wing game to be played and may require language adaptations for the cards.
