Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game (SWG01EN)
Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game is a two-player deck-building game from Fantasy Flight Games for 2 players, ages 12+, that plays in about 30–90 minutes.
How it plays
A head-to-head deck-building game for two. One player is the Galactic Empire, the other the Rebel Alliance, and each starts with a ten-card deck themed to their side.
Between you sits the galaxy row: six face-up cards from a shared deck. Spend the resources your cards generate to buy cards from your faction (or neutral ones), and your deck grows stronger every time it reshuffles.
Attack with your cards to destroy your opponent's bases. The first player to destroy three of the other side's bases wins.
Saga Table Talk
Great for: Star Wars fans and couples or friends who want a two-player game that's easy to learn.
What a game night feels like: A back-and-forth duel, with each side racing to build a better deck before the other's attacks land.

Teaching tip: Let each player pick the side they love, then play the first few turns open-handed while you learn the galaxy row.
