Today, Funko Games revealed Star Wars Rivals, an expandable card game experience in which players adventure in each era of the Star Wars galaxy. The game invites players to choose a side (dark or light) and strategize by creating teams that combine characters with stellar abilities in order to collect the most location cards and win the game.
The Star Wars Rivals Premier Set will include four character-based game movers, which each come with three unique action cards for that character. The set also comes with a prism die, 14 action cards, 18 tokens and markers, and 12 location cards, including four exclusive cards. The game is made for two players and will cost $19.99.
There will also be Light Side and Dark Side Star Wars Rivals Character Booster Packs to provide fans with even more gameplay. Each will include one character-themed game mover and character card, two location cards, a game die, five action cards, and 16 tokens and markers. Two booster packs can be combined for immediate play or added to Premier Sets to make the game more intense. The booster packs will be available for $4.99 each.
All of the Star Wars Rivals products will be available for a limited pre-release sale at Star Wars Celebration, from April 7-10. The Premiere Set will be available on May 4, followed by a Walmart-exclusive release of Star Wars Rival products in early June. The game will be available at all major retailers later this year.
