Star Wars Board Game FAQ
What is a miniatures game, and how do the various Star Wars ones differ?
Miniatures games use high-quality figures, often requiring painting and customization. Gameplay typically involves moving pieces on an open table with scenery, measuring distances rather than using a fixed board. Star Wars offers several miniatures games: X-Wing (space combat with pre-painted ships), Armada (fleet-level combat with pre-painted capital ships), Shatterpoint (smaller-scale skirmishes with larger, unpainted miniatures), and Legion (larger battles with unpainted miniatures). Each game offers a distinct scale and level of complexity.
