Star Wars: X-Wing Buyer's Guide

Star Wars: X-Wing is a fast and highly strategic space combat game for two players. The ships come prepainted and assembled so you can start playing right away. Fancy a fight between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader in an asteroid field? Read on!

Core Set

The Star Wars: X-Wing core set contains eveything you need to learn the game and start playing: 2 x TIE/In fighters, 1 x T-65 X-Wing ship, dice, cards, movement tools, tokens, and the rules.

The Core Set is a great money saver as buying these items separately would cost double the price.

Expansions

Before building your squad and purchasing extra ships, you will have to choose 1 of the 7 factions available as different factions cannot be mixed.

Squadron Packs that contain 3 ships are a great starting point for your collection.

Separatist Alliance

The Sith Lords and their evil droids (Episode I, II, III). Have pilots such as Darth Maul and Count Dooku. Click to see all Separatist Alliance products.

Galactic Republic

The Republic of the Jedi before its destruction (Episode I, II, III). Have pilots such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan, and Padmé Amidala. Click to see all Galactic Republic products.

Conversion Kits

The Second Edition of X-Wing was released in 2018. If you own ships from the first edition (2012-2017), you don't have to buy them again! Simply buy the conversion kit of your faction to get your hands on updated cards and ship tokens. If you are just starting, you can skip these kits unless you want a lot of upgrade cards without buying any ships.

Accessories

Once you have enough ships to deploy a 200 points squadron, you can look at upgrading your game components with products such as plastic maneuver dials, damage cards personalized for your faction, or a set of deluxe movement tools.
