Star Wars Epic Duels

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Star Wars Epic Duels is a board game released by Hasbro in 2002, designed by Craig Van Ness and Rob Daviau. It is built for two to six players aged eight and up, pitting iconic Star Wars characters against one another in card-driven one-on-one and team duels. Each character draws on its own deck of action cards giving it distinct moves and special abilities, so match-ups play out differently depending on which characters and decks are chosen, giving the game replay value across many character combinations drawn from the films.
