About this board game

Star Wars Customizable Card Game is a strategy card game for 2 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Released in 1995, it lets one player take the role of the Rebellion and the other command the Empire in battles across the Star Wars universe.

Each player secretly builds a 60-card deck from more than 3,000 different cards. You can customize your deck between games by adding or removing cards, allowing you to refine your strategy and adjust your approach over time.

Players first arrange location cards on the playing surface. Characters and ships can then be deployed at those locations, with additional cards such as weapons and devices placed on them. Battles take place on the ground and in space as both sides work to reduce the opponent’s Life Force.

  • Choose between the Rebellion and the Empire.
  • Build and customize a secret 60-card deck.
  • Deploy characters, ships, locations, weapons, and devices.
  • Battle across ground and space to drain your opponent’s Life Force.

Each card represents one unit of Life Force. Location cards allow you to draw additional Life Force into your hand, while destroyed characters and ships are placed in a lost pile. When all of a player’s cards are in that pile, that player loses the game.

Star Wars Customizable Card Game offers complex, strategic play for those willing to learn its systems. Although the original game went out of print in 2001, an active Player’s Committee continues to support it with frequently released, free virtual card expansions.
