Star Wars X-Wing Second Edition follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, the second edition takes everything the first edition did well and refines it, creating a more fluid gameplay experience!

Take control of your very own galactic squadron as you take to the stars and take on your opponents in inter-galactic battles, playing with your favourite starships! During a one of these starship dogfights, [layers will utilise unique abilities, all to give them an advantage while engaging in fierce combat. Every ship is different, each with its own set of cards, detailing manoeuvres ranging from gentle banking turns to aggressive Koiogran turns. Each round will begin with a player selecting (in secret) a manoeuvre from each of their ships specialised dials. As soon as this decision has been made, the ships take slight and you will both begin moving the ships, weaving throughout the galactic battlefield, using your manoeuvres to gain the advantage over your opponent.

With its intuitive mechanics and refined gameplay, the second edition really brings a great gameplay experience to both beginners and veterans of X-Wing. With the Core set, you will receive two TIE fighters along with one T-65 X-Wing miniature, all with their own manoeuvre templates, dials, cards and dice. The miniatures are all beautifully pre-painted, meaning there is no need for long hours to be spent painting each intricate model, a big draw for people just starting out!

Remember, the Core Set is just the beginning of the X-Wing universe! There are numerous expansions to enrich your experience and extend the gameplay, while also allowing players to build up a full hangar bay’s worth of ships, ready for battle!

A good game but one that requires a big commitment to get the most out of the system. The miniatures are exceptional.

I have now bought two of these for, having got into the system, this is the best value way of expanding your squadrons plus getting extra sets of dice, manoeuvre dials, measures and tokens. I might even buy a third set!

I bought this to get back into gaming and I love Star Wars. Great set with all the rukles and equipment you need to start playing. The minatures are excellent, highly detailed and painted. All in all, very pleased.

The Second Edition seems like a good rebalance of the original game. Overall it is an example of a friendly to newcomers collectible miniatures game. You don't need to spend a lot to start playing, the miniatures come pre-painted the rules are easy to understand and the game session doesn't take too long or require much space.

This is my second purchase of the base set just to ramp up my ship, card and token numbers. I can now have more interesting battles without spending loads on individual ships or mucking about with the reinforcement mechanics. More ships will inevitably follow but this is a good little game and good value... be aware though this core set is akin to a pusher - it gets you hooked with a little taster and you know there is bigger and more expensive things to come!
