Star Wars Epic Duels
Star Wars Epic Duels was a game that was released in 2002 just prior to “Attack of the Clones.” The game features almost every major character in all six of the Star Wars films and lets the players re-enact their favorite battles from the films or through everybody together into one giant duel. Never mind that it would be physically impossible for Anakin to fight Darth Vader, it’s a pretty cool idea.
Players draw from decks of cards that are specifically designed for each character. Each major character is accompanied by one or more minor characters. Han has Chewie. Luke has Leia. Darth Vader has a couple of stormtroopers. These minor characters vary vastly in their strengths and somewhat balance out the differences in the major characters. Players then take turns drawing cards, moving their characters around the various settings, and then playing cards for attack, defense, and other special abilities.
It’s a quick and simple game that’s fun for Star Wars fans. I’ve seen a lot worse, but I’ve seen better as well.
