Asmodee readies Star Wars: Unlimited Icons

Asmodee has debuted Star Wars: Unlimited Icons – the latest addition to the Star Wars: Unlimited TCG series – at UK Games Expo this past weekend.

The new streamlined mini-set – boasting 194 cards – is designed as an entry point offering for first-time and returning players, while still introducing new cards and fan-favourite characters for seasoned gamers. It comes with eight new Leaders, including Darth Vader, a Vigilance and Villainy leader, and Leia Organa, a Cunning and Heroism leader.

In addition, Icons introduces a brand-new Legendary card in Anakin Skywalker. A hard-hitting unit, Anakin can search decks for a Darth Vader card upon defeat and lets players ignore aspect penalties on Darth Vader cards while Anakin is in players’ discard piles.

“We’re thrilled to reveal Icons at this year’s UK Games Expo,” said Roger Martin, Marketing Director at Asmodee.

“Star Wars: Unlimited is at its best when you’re sat around a table and getting straight into gameplay. But if you’re brand new or coming back after a break, it can be a little tricky knowing where to start – and that’s where Icons breaks down that barrier. We can’t wait for fans, both old and new, to get their hands on the set and show the community what they’re made of.”

Star Wars™: Unlimited Icons will be available this year.
