Prepare For Star Wars: Destiny Today At The FFG World Championships

May 6, 2017 by redben

Star Wars: Destiny steps into the spotlight today. The stream is expected to go live at 13.00 CDT (19.00 BST), and run till 21.00 CDT (03.00 BST). This should cover the entirety of the top sixteen cut and possibly the end of the Swiss rounds also.

Star Wars: Destiny is a card and dice collectable game, the first time Fantasy Flight Games have dipped their toes into the collectable game market in around a decade. How well did it go? Well, much better than FFG expected as they’ve struggled to keep up with demand.

Players select thirty points of characters which begin the game in play, each with either one or two dice. Alongside this, they have a thirty card deck which will give them additional cards and dice to bring into play, or discard for a one-off effect. The goal of the game is to destroy the opponent’s characters or make them run out of cards.

Also up for grabs are unique resource tokens, a top 32 Darth Vader playmat, that top sixteen medal again, a unique top eight damage dial, and a top four sheet of uncut Mon Mothma cards.

The winner will walk away with the trophy, a one-of-a-kind Han Solo mat, an expenses paid trip to the 2018 worlds to defend their title, and the chance to design the first ever world champion card for the game.
