People Hate How Well Star Wars Unlimited is Doing 

I think the game is going to do just great for the first year. it all comes down to how they handle the future cause the base product looks amazing to be honest.

I don't care about the content of people opening boxes or getting Good for you, those are your cards, I enjoy opening my own experiencing it for myself. I don't want to see any cards but what I discover. Card games were funner before the advent of the internet. Now it's, wait a few weeks, look at the meta, build the deck. They used to be so much more organic, and homegrown back in the day. People bring in their own decks to the table , having local meta and others discovering other nuisances.

It's got its positives and negatives. Can't think of a CCG with a better pack opening experience. Collecting is super fun with all the variants. Sealed/draft is so easy to facilitate. The art is hit or miss, but overall way better than my first impression. Templating is top notch. Gameplay is tried-and-true and takes five minutes to learn but it's got depth; as a counter it's unoriginal and essentially Hearthstone with two lanes and a wrinkle in the resource system. The material selection from the base set was perfect, so between introducing too much of the less popular Disney stuff and FFG's track record there's reason for some nervousness going forward. Overall, I'm having a great time now - my expectations were not to touch the game, so it greatly exceeded expectations.

big TCG lover and big Star Wars nerd, wasn´t to impressed with the artwork at first. Played the game at Spiel 2023 in Essen and fell in love with it. Already opened 4 displays and i am thinking about buying an entire display case. Fantastic Game!

Mtg neckbeards got their panties in a bunch. Yeah I’ve been pissed at FFG… but I truly hope they’ve learned from past failures and are ready to crush it with this game. Got a couple set boxes and it’s just awesome so far.

A FaB player here, love this game as well. Games are quick and engaging. I am enjoying how casual it is which is something FaB is def missing.

They have 6 sets total they are guaranteed to ship, so even if that's all we get, that's quite a good amount of cards

I got the 2 player starter deck and played a couple of games. So far I’m having a blast. I wish only the best for the future of the game.

There's no such thing as a sure success, but I think this has a hell of a chance. FFG really seems to understand they need to win over the skeptics and so far they've done everything right in that regard.

This game totally took me by surprise! First impressions were the art was cartoonish and didn't grab me, and I was skeptical about FFG's track record. After watching a bunch of videos and reading about the roadmap for the game, I picked up some boxes from my LGS along with my Fallout MTG pre-order. The game actually looks like it might have some legs! Now I'm excited to crack more boxes and build some decks🤩

This game is so fun to play. I played in multiple events at Dice Tower West last weekend and everyone was loving it. So excited for this game!

It is a fun game. I want to see how it grows

The biggest issue is fantasy flight. They have a very..... Interesting reputation on keeping their games alive.

I have to admit, as a devoted fan of the Decipher Star Wars CCG, I am very excited to see a new card game hit the shelves. The Hyperspace cards are genius, one of the reasons I got sucked in. Very excited for the future on this one. You opened an incredible box in the video, wow!!

I've tried to get into MTG as my first CCG game but it felt overwhelming with all the special terminology. I got absolutely destroyed playing against experienced players. This looks FAR more easier to get in to, and a lot of fun as well. I also like the theme and artwork style more

As someone that plays a lot of magic and sorcery I'm digging this game it's fun and casual deckbuilding is a blast!

I have been an extremely casual Pokémon card player my knowledge of TCGs in general is very baseline. I don't know the back story off FFG and all that. But for me personally this is an entry point to a card game of an IP I love the most and I have dived in and will continue to be a part of this TCG as much as I can. Luckily I grabbed a starter set and a few boosters opening day because everything Unlimited is sold out now but as soon as my shops get more I'm getting more cards. I want to build decks. My wife wants to build decks. I want to go to the shops hosting Unlimited nights which I have never done for any TCG before. I only played Pokémon with dated cards with a few friends. So this has me in. Maybe it will give me an itch to look at other card games. So for those critical of it I would say this is good for the TCG community because it took a mid 30 year old middle class family in the suburbs to the shop and engaging in a type of gaming they never really bothered with before. I'm sure my wife and I aren't the only ones like this.

I can't wait for set 2 , game is so fun. We get 12 to 16 players weekly for locals and growing

Three weeks later and this game is the hottest thing out there. It's here to stay, get on board.

I've only got the pre release box so far. Looking through the rules it's incredibly simplistic. I plan on getting more cards though although I mostly just want to play the game. I only pulled 1 legendary which it feels really rare to get 1. I do like that you get 16 cards per pack. The only thing I don't like is the number of cards in the set feel like it should have been half that number for a first set.

Opened two cases and can't wait to get more!

The art is fine. My problem is how many games have been axed by the company. Most had a good start, but awful management

I haven’t heard anyone say the game is bad. The game is great but FFG is the issue. I liked it enough to buy 2 cases 😂

If MetaZoo can last YEARS with NO gameplay or IP driving it…this game will do just fine.

I played a game of SWU before the armory this week. It was a lot of fun to play! Won't be opening any product but I will def. be playing the game casually if anyone else picks it up locally.

I love it so far. All of our local shops are sold out. People assumed it would be bad because of FFGs checkered history. This one seriously feels like it's gonna break the mold created by past failures. Can't wait to lean into the game even more and already itching for the next set

I mean, here’s what I’ll say. I think the game has huge potential. If FFG can keep it up and devote to it. I think it’ll be in the ranks with Lorcana and one piece. Possibly some of the other A tier card games. The other thing is FFG is great at communicating that they’ve dropped the ball in the past with other games and recognizing that is the first step to success.

I LOVE the game. It has gotten my younger son into TCGs for the first time. Hell my oldest and I have completely put Flesh and Blood on the back burner to keep playing SWU.

Sooo goood. Need mine soon! 🙂

FFG was doing such a great job with Legion and X-wing. Then assmode (not a typo) took that away and gave it to AMG. Then AMG killed x-wing. This game will be fine as long as AMG doesn’t get ahold of it.

this guy pulls 2 vaders... My box has low value Legendaries LOL

Haven’t played any TCG’s in years so I’m about as blue collar as they come to this style of gaming. But got to play this at Emerald City comic con this year and had a lot of fun. My buddy and I used to play the old Star Wars card game back in the day and to be honest I’m sure we could pull that out now and still have fun so I don’t really understand the concept of measuring the games funability, if you will 😁 based on its future support. But, I mostly play board games so I am a little used to maybe an expansion or two then that’s it. But come on it’s Star Wars! Cheers!

My son and I went to our first learn to play tonight, it was intense being that we only know Pokemon but it was fun! We will spend a bit of time learning at our pace but deffo think this will be one to enjoy for the long haul

As - pretty much - always, people expressing negative feelings against something tend to be louder than the ones loving it. So far game looks to be doing great, let hope it will get proper support in the years to come!

Happy to stick my neck out and say SWU will do well! Love the Hyperspace foils!

I haven't heard anyone who tried it being negative here, it got sold out in 2 days. 3 biggest vaule I pulled a IG-88 alternate, vader, and a relentless hyperspace foil.

I realised its popularity when I went to a local games shop where they do every week torunaments of Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, DnD and plenty of other TCGs and RPGs. They always sell some SW sets for the various miniature games and card games but generally nobody wants to play SW games over there, however, I was really surprised when I asked about Unlimited over there and the guy said they've been having weekly tournaments of Unlimited and that all their boosters were sold out, and during the time I was there another guy came in asking for Unlimited boosters. Happy that people are playing this game and that there's a local community.

Make Spark of Rebellion THE Alpha Set, then tell everyone when print run is exhausted, you will reprint sets and all reprint sets will be white border or different art or with distinguishing mark/logo to indicate its a reprint, and watch the current set sell out within the day

The people who said the game will be dead fast... And? We already know they will support the game until 2027 just enjoy and have fun on a good Star Wars card game!

Dude it looks cool!

I like it very much. Brought me back to TCG!

If you like Hearthstone, you should like this tcg. The two are very similar, especially the combat.

Was the same when lorcana came out, TCG fans tend to hate new ones coming out as it threatens their playerbase.

I’ve heard zero negativity…

Tcgplayer raced to the bottom for about 24 hours before the supply of most cards got destroyed. Anyone I know who has played a few games has been hooked.

The artwork just isn't for me, even being quite a Star Wars fan and obviously a big TCG nerd. I do think that the game is actually pretty fun to play though!

bro casually pulling 9 legendaries in one box

i do believe that if this game takes off... a sealed box of the first set will become very very valuable in the future.... Pokemon obviously is the most expensive... but the first set in One Piece is skyrocketing in price as they become harder and harder to get

I love this game and played it at GenCon last year. That being said, I will pick up the game once the set rotates and the cards and packs are at bargain bin prices. If Destiny was any indicator, you should be able to pick up a full playset for < $100 once the first 3 sets rotate out.

big pass on me

FFG said that they have NEVER dedicated this many resources to any game ever in their past. They are trying to make sure this one will last for all you negative Nancy's out there. At least it's not trash like MTG and its players

Hell yeah let’s go Star Wars

Why are people saying that the art is trash? The hyperspace foils are sweet, and the showcase Leaders chase cards are sweet too.

The deck building is super fun

Is it!? Haven't they sold (to date) around 5000 boxes ($380k)? While Lorcana's newest release has sold 14k (+1$ Million). What is FFG actually saying on sales?

Might buy a starter set just to have, but track record is just too bad for Star Wars CCGs to invest...I guess there is always A NEW HOPE 😆 Good luck, but looks like a pass for me.

Nice clickbait dude! Do you have most Magic players or Taco followers. 😂 In Europe most displays Sold Out and Lg:s has started re-order already. This product has good quality in the printing and foiling.

part is the fact there has been failed star wars CCG all ready then the art on a couple mane carters looks like Cr** the game play is fun the art is ok i guess but the big problem im having is the randomition of the boxes its a bit jacked up

must have been my rock ceiling but would you make a video on how to play the thing or show in what context this game is supposed to be played. You know, because just cards no rules, is ... just cards.

The biggest issue i see with this game going forwards is if this is going to be a TRUE print to demand game…. People are really enjoying the COLLECTIBILITY of this game right now. If they print this to oblivion and card prices tank and you cab find this game everywhere at all times it will lose a lot of people in the long run. Has anyone heard what print runs are like for this game???

Game is so much fun!

Like the game a lot. The card art isn't my taste.

I would buy it if it didn’t have Disney era SW art

I am the biggest star wars fan (look at my avatar). I have been engaged with Star Wars since 1977. This game may be a good game but the art is absolute trash. I watched multiple box openings in person. Also Star Wars draws a lot of hype. FFG does not have a great track record either (Destiny, X-Wing, etc.). To me investing hundreds if not thousands of dollars into another Star Wars game so they can just shut it down after 2 to 3 years makes no sense. If you enjoy it, that is great, but don't try to brush aside the real issues that this game faces. I will stick with FAB for now.

Do you have a favorite?

We just miss Destiny

this was the best box Ive seen yet

Showed the game to some board game friends and the wife. Feedback was a little cringey and the odd outright laugh at the worst brutal art examples. Wonder if they will re-release it with proper replacement art.

That box is crack wtf haha

I opened a box today with only 2 legendary cards :(

Here in Barcelona we are loving it, but surely not even close as One Piece, DBZ or FAB

Not true at all. This game is super fun!

I mean the game is fun, but 18 minutes of pure shilling and ball polishing without a single meaningful point is a bit much for me hahahaa

LMAO this video has not aged well. Booster boxes are being scalped and sold for $250+ dollars. you really didnt know what you were talking about this in video. embarrassing

I'll be honest. I Don't want the game to succeed much because it takes away from the popularity of my favorite game, but more than that I've seen so many attempts and Star Wars from the Imperial era. I'm just tired of seeing it again. I liked the old republic I bought. There's a great amount of history and interesting things their media could cover. That is not Luke Leia and Han for the 10,000th time

Bro is talking about how Star Wars is still a monster IP, naw it’s been dead for a while, Disney has killed it. With that acolyte being another nail in the coffin. The whole card from the ui to artwork is ugly, this entire video is a grift. FFG has abandoned all of there other TCGs so I have zero hope for it. It may appeal to some but it’s still Disney canon, which limits the audience it can reach out to.

Buba Fett? Bro...

I dont know about doa but i dont find the cards attractive at all. the arts great its the rest of the hud i cant stand

no one is saying this. nice click bait.

Personally my "hate" is for TCGs in general. They are just XCGs with extra steps these days

FFG is just going to abandon it like all its other games. Don't bother.

100% game is dead. Art is trash and any love for Star Wars is at an all time low because of Disney. Plus the TCG instead of LCG aspect... yeah... no.... It's dead. Trust me.

The problem is Star Wars IP is so outdated, and the gameplay is such a copy cat from Magic, sorry, it won’t last.

hard to feel anything positive towards a star wars tcg seeing how all the previous went and now this is manned by ffg too. people are just more cautious nowadays compared to covid era.
