Read Zatu Games Reviews

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!

Xwing is hands down the best miniatures game on the market. And at this price you absolutely must try it out.

Came sooner than expected, a surprise to be sure but a welcome one! The game's box, model and card quality is very good and the models are very well detailed! One of the guns on the x wing fell off during transport but nothing some superglue can't fix! Overall extremely pleased and can't wait to play this game!

The new rules are a great addition to this already excellent game. I was a little worried that my whole 1.0 collection was now obsolete but luckily there are conversion kits to help switch over to 2.0. I look forward to the future of X-Wing

My first time with X-Wing (never played the first edition). This is a great little table-top game, but the rulebook is a little on the light side and the cards will have phrases that just are not explained anywhere. A few YouTube how to play tutorials later and a couple of evenings working things out and I am just about getting to grips with it. Needed a few more ships almost straight away which I have just ordered... from Zatu of course!

Great game, if you have played First edition the Second Edition improves and fixes the game. If you've never played before then this a great game, easy to get into and play if you keep things simple, but there can be added layers of complexity if you want. Cat and mouse dog fighting on your table top! #234673

I was a bit sceptical of FFG releasing version 2.0 but imo it's much better so far. Feels much more refined
