The Thanksgiving Special!

By Garbage Rollers - November 23, 2023

Today is Thanksgiving for Americans, so I figured now would be as good a time as ever to reflect on some of the things I’m already thankful for in Star Wars Unlimited. P.S. We are 99 days away from Pre-release! We have a Star Wars TCG again! I love Star Wars. I love Trading Card…

Deck Tech – Krennic Aggression

By Garbage Rollers - November 22, 2023

Imagine a board full of huge units that defy you to attack them. Imagine the slow march towards inevitable demise, an Imperial march perhaps, and your opponent waltzing right along to it with you holding the conductor’s baton. Playing Krennic is about having the ambition to realize these board states, and in that way, he’s…

New Player Lessons #5 – Sequencing

By Garbage Rollers - November 16, 2023

Nobody goes into a tournament wanting to lose. That doesn’t mean that everyone cares about winning more than they care about other things. Every player is different. But even if you’re bringing an off-kilter Chewie deck because you think it’s fun, or you just love the character, you probably don’t do it intending to scrub…

Deck Tech – Luke Green Midrange

By Garbage Rollers - November 15, 2023

As Justin wrote in one of our first articles, the SWU starters feature a solid lineup of competitive cards. The Hero side of the starter has Luke Skywalker as its leader and the Administrator’s Tower as its base, which we wrote about last month. But what about other color combinations for Luke? Turns out the…

New Player Lessons #4 – Understanding Star Wars Unlimited’s Cost Structure (REVISED AND EXPANDED)

By Garbage Rollers - November 14, 2023

I spent my time in the military serving as a Logistics Officer. There was a lot of paperwork and personnel management, but the overriding concern of my organization was ultimately one thing: efficiency. How do we bring the most capability to the fight with the least effort? My CCG career started before the military and…

Official FFG Rules Confirmations!

By Garbage Rollers - November 8, 2023

We’re beyond thankful to FFG for dropping the Quickstart Rules a couple of months ago, letting us get a good foundation for gameplay and even start playing some demo games! If you’re anything like us though, it didn’t take long to start running into rules interactions that the Quickstart Rules simply do not address. Our…

Overwhelming Mirage: Why Star Wars Unlimited’s First Scary Card Isn’t The End Of The World

By Garbage Rollers - October 31, 2023

Star Wars Destiny had Force Speed. Keyforge had Bait & Switch. Netrunner had Account Siphon. Every game, no matter how balanced, has a boogeyman show up early in its lifespan. Star Wars: Unlimited players seem to think they’ve found one in Overwhelming Barrage. The buzz on this one is wild. The word “busted” gets thrown…

Welcome back! We first debuted this deck back in September and thanks to the cards revealed since then, it’s continued to evolve.

What I look for in more expensive Units

By Garbage Rollers - October 24, 2023

As I mentioned in yesterday’s spoiler recap, I really don’t like big units that don’t provide immediate impact when played. With exhaust unit effects fairly common already (Asteroid Sanctuary, Leia Organa, Fett’s Firespray) playing something big, like our two walker friends pictured below, is quite risky. Since you get nothing the round they are played,…
