The 2014 Star Wars ™: The Card Game Organized Play season has been full of fierce battles and heroic deeds, and the 2014 World Championship is sure to push the galactic conflict even further. Those who train and prepare will be most fit to lead their troops when the next battle begins.

Prepare yourself to lead the way by reading the new FAQ (pdf, 5.7 MB) and tournament rules (pdf, 1.3 MB) and staying up to date on the latest changes.

These changes will go into effect on October 20th, 2014.

A Word from the Developers

Hello Star Wars : The Card Game players!

With the World Championship approaching, we are providing an update to the FAQ and tournament rules for players looking to attend, as well as those playing elsewhere.

The only update to the tournament rules document is the Authorized Cards section to state that the Between the Shadows expansion will not be legal for the World Championship event.

In the FAQ, we have issued a pair of small balance errata. The metagame for the 2014 North American Championship at Gen Con was overwhelmingly driven by two objective sets: Along the Gamor Run ( Knowledge and Defense , 552) and May the Force Be With You ( Join Us or Die , 567). The vast majority of successful light side decks included one or both of these objectives, and the dark side metagame emerged as a reaction to these sets.

For Along the Gamor Run ( Knowledge and Defense , 552) we are limiting this objective set to a single copy per objective deck. The Hired Hands from this objective set were proving to be more resilient than originally intended, and having four copies of them in a player’s deck provided a very demoralizing game experience for the dark side player.

The May the Force Be With You ( Join Us or Die , 567) objective has received the addition of “Limit once per turn.” in order to keep the light side player from being able to attack with all his units and then free up multiple solid defenders going into the dark side player’s turn.

With both of these changes, we hope to see a more engaging metagame for both sides of the Force at the Star Wars : The Card Game 2014 World Championship!
