Save On Star Wars Card Games and More This Prime Day
Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game
0
Kicking things off, we’ve got Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game from Fantasy Flight Games (more on them shortly).
This head-to-head card game offers a chance to play as the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance, each with its own playstyle and card choices as you look to destroy your opponents’ bases before they destroy yours.
There are over 50 different cards and iconic bases, with matches taking around 30 minutes. Whether you’re recruiting Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader, the game is reduced by 15%, bringing it from $33.59 to $28.49.
Star Wars: Unlimited Shadows of the Galaxy Starter Set
0
Sticking with Fantasy Flight Games, the company is now best known for Star Wars: Unlimited, the popular trading card game.
It’s a really fun game that offers both space and ground battles simultaneously, and one Prime Day deal makes it cheaper to learn.
The Star Wars: Unlimited Shadows of the Galaxy Starter Set, which includes themed decks for The Mandalorian and Moff Gideon, is a hair short of being half price. It’s dropped from $34.99 down to $17.99, which is a new lowest-ever price.
Star Wars Outer Rim
0
Finally, Star Wars: Outer Rim from—you guessed it—Fantasy Flight Games is a three-to-four-hour game that has you playing as a bounty hunter like Han Solo, IG-88, or Boba Fett.
There’s a whole host of pieces in the box if you’re into that sort of thing, and with modular boards, every playthrough feels unique.
It’s currently $61.49, a 28% discount on the $84.99 MSRP, although we have seen it cheaper. Still, if you’re looking for a fun game to play with friends, this is worth a look – and this price will only last for a few hours.
