On the Imperial side, multiple Send in the Troopers plot cards are activated by five or more damage results in a player’s dice pool. Han Solo can begin the game frozen in carbonite, with players able to rescue him to gain the reverse side of the card as a character. Obi-Wan Kenobi returns to play as a spirit when struck down as a character, able to aid Luke as a support card, while the separate United/We Stand card sees Darth Vader’s redemption at the end of Return of the Jedi become a helpful plot card. There’s the transformation of the ‘reckless’ Anakin Skywalker into the anger-fuelled Darth Vader when another character is defeated, for instance, while Luke Skywalker goes from bright-eyed Tatooine youth to trained Jedi with enough resource and shield tokens. Transformations features 12 double-sided cards that - true to the set’s title - can be flipped over at points during a match to reveal new characters, events and abilities.Ī number of the cards draw from classic Star Wars moments.
And, in even more of a surprise, the expansion is free to print-and-play at home right now. Star Wars: Destiny has received a surprise new expansion, Transformations, following the game’s sudden cancellation earlier this year.
