its star realms, but star wars. kids really liked it
SW:LCG was my jam.
It was overshadowed by Netrunner, but I found SW:LCG less mathy and more fun.
I don't think it's draw, discard, and bluff mechanics were understood or appreciated by the casual audience, but it was what made it great for more competitive players.
The asymmetric decks kinda made running tournaments a nightmare.
So it ended up as a game with no home (need too many reps to enjoy, but too few tourneys to get reps) 😥
I picked up LOTR:LCG a few years ago and found it way better than my first few demos and became obsessed for a hot-minute (problem with SW:LCG is the more skilled player typically wins, so it gets discouraging for the weaker player if they don't get better and have no one else to play... LOTR's co-op was a way to experience similar mechanics but work together), so I might go back and revisit CCG someday.
On topic: This game is decent... it is "deck building" in the Dominion / Star Realms sense... not in the MtG or LCG sense.
Edit: lol people will thumbs down anything
But it does! And not only that, but the artwork on the cards is gorgeous; in my opinion some of the nicest Star Wars illustrations ever done.
I wish it wasn't so locked into 1v1 (there are 2v2 rules, but it's still team-based and you'd need a 2nd copy just for that). But the 1v1 setup is what makes the really cool mechanics work so I can't be too upset.
All board game fans should pick this up at $19!

We run things, things don't run we
Don't take nothing from nobody, yeah, yeah"

I was ranked pretty well in tournaments and everything. Still have my cards, not that I've taken them out in a couple decades.
