About this board game

Star Wars: Trading Card Game is a two-player trading card game for a 45-minute battle between the light side and the dark side.

The fate of the galaxy is in your hands as you choose your allegiance. Embrace the power of the Sith Lords or align with the Jedi Knights, using the Force for a higher purpose in an epic struggle between good and evil.

Players engage in full-scale battles with cards representing key elements of the Star Wars universe. The original first-edition decks focus on Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, offering a game built around characters, ships, and devices.

  • Two-player battles between the light side and the dark side
  • Cards featuring characters, ships, and devices
  • Three battle zones: space, ground, and character
  • Dice, damage counters, and Force meters used during play

To play a first full game, you need two 60-card decks, a set of six-sided dice, damage counters, two Force meters, and a playmat showing the three battle zones. Players can collect the necessary cards or print out two decks.

As a trading card game, Star Wars: Trading Card Game is available through two-player starter packs, individual deck starters, and booster packs. The 2002 release brings the Star Wars setting to a collectible card format where players take sides and confront one another across space, ground, and character areas.
