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 occurs on an open table with scenery, using measurements for movement, unlike fixed board games. Star Wars offers four miniatures games: X-Wing (space combat with pre-painted ships), Armada (fleet-level combat with pre-painted capital ships), Shatterpoint (smaller-scale skirmishes with unpainted miniatures), and Legion (larger battles with unpainted miniatures).
