Looking for a Star Wars tabletop game? Browse the cards below, then filter by player count.

Star Wars has one of tabletop gaming's busiest licenses, with games from several publishers across almost fifty years. Some are miniatures wargames that need table space; others are 20-minute card games. For space settings across franchises, the sci fi board games hub compares the genre.

Start by filtering for players, then check each game's play time.

Clue: Star Wars Edition

  • 2016

Hasbro’s 2016 Clue puts the mystery aboard a three-dimensional cardboard Death Star. Instead of solving a murder, players figure out a planet, a room and an escape vehicle.

How it plays

It follows classic Clue deduction. Move around the Death Star and use cards other players reveal to rule out possibilities. Name all three hidden items correctly to win.

The film or show connection

Players take the roles of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2 or C-3PO. The story centers on Darth Vader’s next target planet and the hiding place of the Death Star plans.

The timeline shows collectible card games arriving in waves and miniatures lines changing with licensing. It runs from a 1977 Kenner spinner game to the 2024 launch of Unlimited. Another major license followed a similar path: Marvel board games also went from collectible miniatures to cooperative card games.

Star Wars tabletop games through the years

Nearly fifty years of Star Wars tabletop games, from a Kenner spinner game to collectible card games.

Start by filtering for players, then check each game's play time.

Miniatures games fill the busiest corner of this list. The next block compares four lines and one retired predecessor. Scale is the big difference: a single strike team in Star Wars Shatterpoint or a whole army in Legion. Check support notes before buying into a line.

Out of print doesn't mean unplayable. Check the card for its print status.

Star Wars miniatures: Legion, Shatterpoint, X-Wing and Armada

These four current or recent lines differ mainly in scale. Choose based on how many models you want to command.

Star Wars: Legion

Command ground armies of troopers, vehicles and heroes. Two players, 60 to 120 minutes, ages 14+. Revised edition starter sets arrived in 2025.

Star Wars: Shatterpoint

Small strike teams of named characters fight over objectives. Two players, 90 to 120 minutes, ages 14+. Core Set launched June 2023.

Star Wars: X-Wing

Starfighter dogfights use secret maneuver dials. Two players, 30 to 45 minutes, ages 14+. The shortest game of the four.

Star Wars: Armada

Fleet combat with capital ships and fighter squadrons. Two players, about 120 minutes, ages 14+. Development ended in June 2024.

Star Wars Miniatures Game

The 2004 collectible predecessor from Wizards of the Coast. Two players, about 60 minutes. Out of print since the line ended in 2010.

Star Wars card games: Unlimited, Destiny and the rest

These five card games span very different eras, and only some are still being made.

  • Star Wars: Unlimited

    Current trading card game with three main sets a year since March 2024. Two players, plus the Twin Suns format for three or four.

  • Star Wars: The Deckbuilding Game

    A fixed box, with no collecting. Two players, 30 to 90 minutes. The Clone Wars Edition (2024) adds a second faction pair.

  • Star Wars: Destiny

    Collectible cards and custom dice. Fantasy Flight Games discontinued it in 2020, so new copies are hard to find.

  • Star Wars: The Card Game

    A Living Card Game from 2012, with fixed expansion packs instead of random boosters. Two players, up to four with Balance of the Force.

  • Customizable Card Game

    Decipher’s 1995 original has been out of print since 2001. A fan-run Players Committee keeps virtual versions of its expansions alive.

Licenses shifted from Fantasy Flight Games to Atomic Mass Games, shaping what you can buy today. The block below sorts lines by support status, so you can spot a living game such as Star Wars Unlimited or one found only on the secondhand market.

The answers below stick to facts confirmed by publishers and archives. For another space setting, Dune board games offer worker placement instead of miniatures.
