wow, that is probably the best tutorial ever done for a Fantasy Flight product.. EVER. The more laughable ones out there are Imperial Assault, X-Wing, and sever others that they never even bothered to create one.. the reason this one is so well done is because a lot of people would have written this game off as another Magic Gathering deck building game you spend tons of money to build a deck. Well, this game looks different, and that is why the went into great detail to explain the game play.. well done.
This tutorial is great. I love how short it is compared to all the amateur ones. Everything you need to know to play AND build decks in just over 15 mins. TY so much.
I hope in the future FFG will do something like Star Wars: Destiny 2,like with X-wing. Not in the near future but maybe with a start of the new trilogy.
are you kidding? this is the first decent tutorial they have ever made! Go check out the other games they put up a 'tutorial' was more of a sales pitch with no depth like this video.
This is a mechanically fantastic game, classic FFG where you sharpen existing games like MTG and make them better. But MAN if it weren't for buying Singles I would have dropped this ages ago, buying random boosters is a crazed semi gambler state then having to do it once more for a elite character (find it twice) is excruciating. I'd appreciate a LCG format much more. It's why I love the Drafts, Starter decks and singles, I actually know what I am buying rather than wasting my money, blind boosters are a kid's game and have no place in a tactical/strategy card game like this, it belittles the game which is unfortunate as it plays REALLY well.
2024 and I'm buying sealed sets and opening them. I can't express how much I'm enjoying this game. Soon I will have my master collection completed, every card ever released in my binder
Hello FFG, I know you posted a blog explaining that Star Wars Destiny will no longer be supported back in early 2020, but since then Star Wars has been flourishing with so much brand new content. The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Tales of the Jedi and The Bad Batch have since provided plenty of new characters, weapons and events that Destiny could utilize. Also Destiny never received the 10th set Wild Horizons in physical form and Episode 9(The Rise of Skywalker) content was missing as well. The Star Wars and CCG/TCG community is waiting and hoping that this game comes back in its true physical form, there is nothing like opening packs and starters sets and playing in person! If the sales or perceived market doesn't look suitable, then just poll the community and if there isn't much interest then maybe it's not meant to be, but if there appears to be enough interest then maybe create a Kickstarter or Gamefound campaign. With Star Wars turning around with even more planned content for the future, I would hope that Star Wars Destiny gets a second chance someday, just to know that the game may come back sometime would be really awesome! Thanks for the nine amazing booster sets and many decks that you made for us and I wish your company success with all your future endeavors.
I feel the same way! While the Deck Buulding game was a neat concept it's difficult to find any game that hits the same notes as SWD. Recently showed the game to some kids who fell in love with it only to find out they aren't making more....
@@IronShepherd5771 I whole heartedly agree, I myself have played many other card games both physical and digital like Keyforge, Transformers TCG, Legends of Runeterrra(LoR), Artifact and the upcoming Lorcana looks good. SWD has that fast but engaging action based turn sequence, that digital card games like LoR and Artifact have, it's not like Yugioh or MTG(which I've played as well) were your opponent has this huge turn of activating effect after effect and unlimited special summons and you sit and watch as you see your demise play out in front of you with little or no interaction as the second player, again I'm not a fan of games were a major percentile of an individuals success is determined on whether they went first in their games. I like games that allow back to back engagement with all players, which provides players the ability to act and react to every situation and decision being made. So I'm disappointed that this game isn't being continued and though FFG provided 9 really good booster sets, the game was still in its infancy and could've added plenty of new mechanics, just look at the final set that FFG was developing for SWD; Wild horizons had new green dice and the addition of famous monsters and creatures from all of Star Wars. And since SWD's cancelation in early 2020 there's been a plethora of amazing Star Wars content from The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch, and Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, not to mention FFG never produced content for Season 7 of The Clone Wars Tv show or as I previously mentioned Episode 9 content from The Rise of Skywalker. Again, plenty of missed opportunities! I believe FFG was contacted by Disney to limit the amount of resources used in the development of further and ongoing Star Wars products due to the overly negative reception of the Han Solo film and sequel trilogy by fans of the franchise, and so that there would be no costly and unfulfilling marketing decisions in Disneys plan for Star Wars. Personally, had Disney had more foresight and patience for the huge success that The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch have brought for Star Wars they never would've questioned the longevity and viability of the Star Wars projects that FFG were producing. Now I'm an optimist and believe that in the not so distant future we may see that 10th Wild Horizons set and more from SWD, but as a community we may have to wait because Disney is launching their own card game with Lorcana in August of this year(2023). The force is strong with Star Wars Destiny! Thanks for replying!
FINALLY we get some Prequel / Sequel era content!!! I know they dabbled sequel stuff in X-wing to tie-in to the film, but when I play a Star Wars game, I want fun, thematic mashups like Darth Maul Vs. Kylo Ren! I can't believe it took so long and so many different games to get that. Of course the Original Trilogy is what we all fell in love with, but I'm so over "The Rebellion Era" monopolizing every game they create. Kudos to you FFG. As long as I don't have to pay through the nose for this I will definitely give this a shot
Two questions: 1. Does claiming the battlefield at any time mean that you cant take anymore actions? 2. Does playing a card not count as an action? 13:10 she resolved and got a resource and purchased rays staff
Hello. To answer your questions; 1. Yes, once a player has claimed the battlefield they are not longer allowed to take any actions for the remainder of the round. 2. Playing a card is an action, but since the Kylo player claimed the battlefield (which ends any actions he may take), the Ray player may take as many actions in a row as she wishes.
Stanley activates Finn. -*Activates Rey* This was not the correct play and Stanley knew it well, perhaps Stanley was doing it just to throw his opponent off. After Player 2 takes his turn, Stanley Activates Finn. -*Plays a card from hand* Stanley was so bad at following directions it's incredible he wasn't fired years ago.
The ironic thing about this game after watching several videos is that the Young Jedi game made and produced by Decipher for the release of Phantom Menace is similar in concept and simplicity. Even the Star Wars game made from Wizards of the Coast, having it's three arena's and dice makes me think of this game. I'll give this game that the artwork and dice are great, but that's the best aspect of this game for me. As I understand the game more it seems to me to have a better chance of winning you to have access to some of the power characters, events, locations- though many collectible card games revolve around this concept however getting into a new game and being able to be competitive is a significant investment. Star Wars Destiny and Young Jedi both have points/resources that each player may use during their turn, also the objective to win either by decking your opponent or eliminating your opponent's characters is about the same (with Destiny using tokens and dice and Young Jedi using just cards), items and events are about the same as well so comparing the two games Destiny is just a copy of Young Jedi; the major difference I suppose is how the events impact how decks are made where Young Jedi focused more on characters and hitting your opponent's life force. Playing most of the collectible card games ever released for Star Wars to date the one produced by Decipher (Star Wars Collectible Card Game) is still the best- images straight from the movies, to game mechanics, nice trivia and additional text, characters, vehicles, starships, weapons etc- to overall capturing the conflicts and events in the Star Wars Universe. I might try this game out however Star Wars CCG will always be my favorite collectible card game of all time.
I bought the white box on force friday to give the game a try. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would have been. I am not a big card game player, so I think it must be rolling all those dice that pulled me :D
New player here. Read the rules and watched this video. Thanks so much for a great game! I have a quick question: If a player claims a battlefield, do they automatically forfeit all actions until the next upkeep?
haha.. great question... it would have to be a 20 part video, and it will never happen, even though it is a far better game than this Destiny game will ever be.. its about the money they will generate from this game is all that matters.
We got an entire Arkham Nights, with an extensive video chat from the designers. I learned a lot more from that. I would expect them to produce something in the way of a gameplay video, though, even if it's really just more marketing.
Didnt think Arkham Horror LCG was that complicated? I like it even more now. Still though, a video where they talk about the game narrated by this chap would be awesome.
According to the official rule book, I think it's 20 cards. The rule book isn't loading for me right now, but you guys can check the Fantasyflight website for it.
Just picked up the starter decks, pretty excited for this game! The only rule I'm not really understanding so far is claiming the battlefield. Do you claim it once per turn, or after the first person claims it is it done for the game? Can someone clarify? Thanks!
Hello Grason. At the beginning of the game the battlefield is chosen by roll off. The player who's battlefield is chosen becomes the first play. That player, or the opposing player may "claim" the battlefield at any point during the round. When claimed, the player claiming may trigger the "claim effect" on the battlefield. Once a player "claims" they can take no other actions during the round while their opponent may take as many actions as they like. However, both players may pass and no one claims the battlefield. When that happens, the player who is in control of the battlefield will remain the first player, but since the battlefield was not "claimed", no claim effect will happen. Claiming the battlefield is how you become first player and get to start your actions first.
Putu Aditya Hello Yes, either player can claim at any time during a round. Whomever claims can no longer take any actions during the remainder of the round.
You can use 2 dice to make her stronger, but this means you your other card character will be more limited to keep within the total allowable points. I had to buy another starter set to allow this. Kind of a shitty move on FFG’s part.
Hello. You are exactly correct. The video was made in After Effects using the Element 3D plug-in. The rolling dice physics were done with 3DSMax and put into the scenes with Element 3D Baked animation layers.
Jointe18 Funny thing is, people are actually getting mismatched cards and dice and FFG dont give a shit, hell they blatantly put it in their advertising as you have pointed out. First bit of evidence they knew this was an issue before release.
Hey Fantasy Flight Games (or anyone who knows). I'm thinking of getting into this, but am noticing that there is now two types of booster packs and the Awakening ones seem to be in short supply/sold out in most places. Do the Spirit of Rebellion boosters contain all cards to date? Or just the new ones they added. If the two types have their own unique cards I don't want to end up wasting money on just one type.
Hello. Spirit of Rebellion is a new set of cards that are different than the cards that are in Awakenings. For example, Jango Fett is in the Awakenings set, while Palpatine is in the Spirit of Rebellion set. You won't get a Jango Fett in Spirit of Rebellion and vice versa.
At 13:20, when Player One plays Rey's Staff, she gets one more action. The narrator points out that she had no dice or cards to play, so she decides to pass. Why wouldn't she, at that point, reclaim the Battlefield? Am I missing something in the rules that wouldn't allow it? It seems to me, even if she didn't have a discarded card that worked, it would still be worth it to go first. Also, can you claim a Battlefield that you've already claimed? That's the only reason I can see for Player One passing.
We still play this every thursday and sunday at our shop and get new players in all the time at Spring Hill, FL Gametraders/Armada/Coolstuff INC ... Wish those investors and Disney gave a shit about us :(
How could they think a TCG with so much token and dice actually work in long term, such a waste for one of the most wide univers, they could make a even better TCG than Pokemon in term of beautifull card and as good and Magic in term of gameplay.
My 9yo kid got this game in a mystery box and the instructions it came with are ridiculous and in no way explain the complicated rules or gameplay that this tutorial needs to.
The Radical I'm not sure, casual + ccg don't usually mix given the high costs. And in this case it's so similar to the lcg I don't see the appeal for this to a casual. I also don't see the appeal for competitive players since I don't know any competitive players of strategy games who would like more random luck involved in game play
The most successful board games are the ones, which reward you for using strategy to manage the luck factor in the game, in other words, do the best you can, with what you are given. A lot of people like that. Comparing it to other card games is not the only way to judge it. Just a thought!
Actually, I find that luck based TCG games are a good thing. One of the main reasons why Yugioh is such a mess is because of the lack of luck and more of who has the better deck (which is usually the meta deck). Cardfight Vanguard used to be a good example (until the past 1-2 years of recent sets) where you could have a trial deck (a starting out deck that is premade around some specific card or card function) and still will against a deck that they may have paid at least 100$ on which means it was reallyfun to play because it didn't just mater if you ware a noob or a veteran.
The differences in art quality is quite jarring. Some of the cards are painterly, others look as though they're touched-up photos, others look CGI. It looks very inconsistent. The die just look terrible; like something a child would use.
I like this but I wish there was a star wars card game that was more like MTG. No dice, no tokens to use a card, just the cards and that's it. This has more of a board game feeling than a card game.
Gibbonize There is no point in FFG giving any attention to Conquest now since FFG and Games Workshop had a falling out and from February won't be working on any more games together anymore.
For me, as a card game player for nearly 25 years, this game as CCG format is a simple joke. LCG, meybe. No self-respecting card collector will spend a dime on this game. Sorry.
Nope. I didn't trashed this game. I watched several presentations. It looks good for the casual player, however, CCG format eliminates this game because of the high costs for such a player. In the long run, it can be thousands of dollars. Collectors will be not interested in this game because of the simplicity and randomness of this title. @edit Each earlier card game from FFG was mechanically more interesting, and LCG.
Well calling it a joke seemed a bit like trashing. Anyways, don't a lot of CCG games start out simpleish with the core set then get deeper/complex as the sets get added to it?
The production value of modern FFG tutorials defies the boundaries of human comprehension. Thanks for another spectacular video!
I agree
LMFAO calm down
wow, that is probably the best tutorial ever done for a Fantasy Flight product.. EVER.

R.I.P. to a great game.......
Dead but oft resurrected. I see a LOT of people still playing it today.
I just got this game today. Very excited to play it with my friends!
I hope in the future FFG will do something like Star Wars: Destiny 2,like with X-wing. Not in the near future but maybe with a start of the new trilogy.
So this tutorial has helped me understand Star Wars: Destiny a lot better. Subscribed!
I'm glad I looked this up, the instructions that came with the game was NOT clear at all! Thanks for the video!
Fantasy Flight Games has fantastic tutorials! They are of exceptional quality, please make more!
are you kidding? this is the first decent tutorial they have ever made! Go check out the other games they put up a 'tutorial' was more of a sales pitch with no depth like this video.
I just ordered these for my store. OMG I cant wait to get a pack for myself and play the game with my customers! XD
I'll give both nuts for them to add or make a Legends/OG EU edition. No deck on Earth screams glory like a Revan deck.
KemetBrotha17 I was just thinking that! That would be super dope
One of the best tutorials I have seen for a card game

I love the quality of the How to Play videos, and this game looks like it has the fun factor. I would totally play this game.
2024 and I'm buying sealed sets and opening them. I can't express how much I'm enjoying this game. Soon I will have my master collection completed, every card ever released in my binder

NOTICED SOMETHING:
Kylo Ren placed Power of the Dark Side on top, but did not draw it at the end.
Llamad Mow, Odds are Kylo cheated. That's what villains do.
He felt the tug of the light.
I bought the white box on force friday to give the game a try. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would have been. I am not a big card game player, so I think it must be rolling all those dice that pulled me :D
I've just done the same and this is my first CCG ever. Loving it so far.
This looks great! I hope they do an Old Republic version!
Another zeitgeist short lived due to managerial oversight, rest for now; I hope to see your return someday
Just made my first purchase and super excited to dive in!!! Great tutorial!
You guys do a wonderful job with the learn to play videos! Thank you so much for these.
this is the first time ever they have done a decent tutorial learn to play video.. check the others ones like Imperial Assault.. it is joke.
Excited. Hope CoolStuff Ships soon!
They better! I'm itchin!
New player here. Read the rules and watched this video. Thanks so much for a great game! I have a quick question: If a player claims a battlefield, do they automatically forfeit all actions until the next upkeep?
Hey Jody. Yes they do. Once the Battlefield has been claimed, the player who claimed it is done taking actions for the round.
Thank you! Clears that up; especially if it was going to be claimed before resolving any dice.
I am sad it is over 😢
FFG. Let me know when you want to bring this game or something similar to it back. I'll be ready.
They need to relaunch or pick back up where they left off with this one. It was a brilliant game. Agreed
When are we getting a vid like this for Arkham Horror LCG?
haha.. great question... it would have to be a 20 part video, and it will never happen, even though it is a far better game than this Destiny game will ever be.. its about the money they will generate from this game is all that matters.

Once you use dice can you use them again? When you exhaust activate characters can you use them more than once? I'm confused!
Much clearer than the printed instructions. Should've just watched this first.
Looks fun!
Why do the dice start out in the dice pool?
This looks fun as hell
I'm only confused with one thing. How do you claim a battlefield?
Can you attack a character that is not activated?
armada gameplay tutorial please? @fantasyflightgames
One question: what is the minimum number of cards in the deck? (the same maximum)
You have to have exactly 30 I believe.
According to the official rule book, I think it's 20 cards. The rule book isn't loading for me right now, but you guys can check the Fantasyflight website for it.
CharrLegion Nope. 20 cards is the amount in the Starter deck. A standard deck is 30.
***** I see, gotcha.
30 cards
Y'all are amazing.
This game was amazing but they should of made it a living card game. I believed it would have sold WAY better
they did though
Mr. Fett no they didn’t…
@@furretthefuzzynoodle3896 i dont know what to tell you man
its called star wars the card game you can check it out on fantasy flights website
Mr. Fett yeah and it’s not destiny so wtf are you talking about?
@@furretthefuzzynoodle3896 my bad i misread
i thought you wanted them to make a star wars lcg in generall instead of destiny being one

2024, qnd still playing it 😀
Just picked up the starter decks, pretty excited for this game! The only rule I'm not really understanding so far is claiming the battlefield. Do you claim it once per turn, or after the first person claims it is it done for the game? Can someone clarify? Thanks!
Hello Grason. At the beginning of the game the battlefield is chosen by roll off. The player who's battlefield is chosen becomes the first play. That player, or the opposing player may "claim" the battlefield at any point during the round. When claimed, the player claiming may trigger the "claim effect" on the battlefield.

However, both players may pass and no one claims the battlefield. When that happens, the player who is in control of the battlefield will remain the first player, but since the battlefield was not "claimed", no claim effect will happen.
Claiming the battlefield is how you become first player and get to start your actions first.
Grason White It is performed once per round by the first player that passes.
Fantasy Flight Games can other player reclaim in one round?
Putu Aditya Hello Yes, either player can claim at any time during a round. Whomever claims can no longer take any actions during the remainder of the round.
is this kevan brighting narrating?
I know the game just semi-released this weekend...but (lol) when will we get news on the second batch of cards??? :)
Why does Rey have two dice? When I got her she only came with one, same for Kylo
You can use 2 dice to make her stronger, but this means you your other card character will be more limited to keep within the total allowable points. I had to buy another starter set to allow this. Kind of a shitty move on FFG’s part.
This video was very helpful! +1 sub!
Amazing game ruined by CCG…how i wish this had been a LCG…
This is wrong. Steps 1-6 in the Rules Reference Guide (page 13) state that you draw your hand first THEN roll and resolve the battlefield.
when will this game come out
Daniel Cronin The game release date is December 1st
thanks
I got this game for Christmas my best friend and I are trying to figure out how to play
This is a lot different from the Star Wars CCG game I used to play in the 90s. Is this SW Destiny a fun game?
Yes it is but sadly it's no longer getting any more expansion sets
I’m curious to know if adobe after effects was used to make this video, and if u used either 3Dmax or cinema 4d for the dice rolling physics
Hello. You are exactly correct. The video was made in After Effects using the Element 3D plug-in. The rolling dice physics were done with 3DSMax and put into the scenes with Element 3D Baked animation layers.
This is a better way to know the game😁

Jointe18 Funny thing is, people are actually getting mismatched cards and dice and FFG dont give a shit, hell they blatantly put it in their advertising as you have pointed out. First bit of evidence they knew this was an issue before release.
Hey Fantasy Flight Games (or anyone who knows). I'm thinking of getting into this, but am noticing that there is now two types of booster packs and the Awakening ones seem to be in short supply/sold out in most places. Do the Spirit of Rebellion boosters contain all cards to date? Or just the new ones they added. If the two types have their own unique cards I don't want to end up wasting money on just one type.
Hello. Spirit of Rebellion is a new set of cards that are different than the cards that are in Awakenings. For example, Jango Fett is in the Awakenings set, while Palpatine is in the Spirit of Rebellion set. You won't get a Jango Fett in Spirit of Rebellion and vice versa.
Where is the Arkham Horror Tutorial? It was released sooner than this game :D
Sadly they discontinued this 😫
yeah. then again its becoming more and more difficult to consider disney's new stuff as part of the star wars universe
At 13:20, when Player One plays Rey's Staff, she gets one more action. The narrator points out that she had no dice or cards to play, so she decides to pass. Why wouldn't she, at that point, reclaim the Battlefield?
Am I missing something in the rules that wouldn't allow it?
It seems to me, even if she didn't have a discarded card that worked, it would still be worth it to go first.
Also, can you claim a Battlefield that you've already claimed? That's the only reason I can see for Player One passing.
Once the battlefield has been claimed by a player, another player cannot claim it.
Wish they would just have made a digital game to bring in more popularity.
totally agree, I love online gaming, and being able to play whenever, instead of trying to find someone irl would be great. Maybe someday.
you can play this on table top sim, cost £15 on steam
I watch this just because I love the voice lol
love it
We still play this every thursday and sunday at our shop and get new players in all the time at Spring Hill, FL Gametraders/Armada/Coolstuff INC ... Wish those investors and Disney gave a shit about us :(
Is..... is that the narrator from Stanley Parable?
Is this the same fucking guy that narrates The Stanley Parable??
Is this the Stanley parable narrator
Kylo didn't draw the card which he put on top due to claiming the battlefield. CHEAT
This is kind of like Pokémon
How could they think a TCG with so much token and dice actually work in long term, such a waste for one of the most wide univers, they could make a even better TCG than Pokemon in term of beautifull card and as good and Magic in term of gameplay.
the anachronisms are giving me a huge ass headache hahaha
Qui Gon and Luke fighting Jango Fett lol what warped timeline is this! hahahaha
My 9yo kid got this game in a mystery box and the instructions it came with are ridiculous and in no way explain the complicated rules or gameplay that this tutorial needs to.
This seems really similar to the Star Wars LCG, only worse and luck based...pretty disappointing
The Radical I'm not sure, casual + ccg don't usually mix given the high costs. And in this case it's so similar to the lcg I don't see the appeal for this to a casual. I also don't see the appeal for competitive players since I don't know any competitive players of strategy games who would like more random luck involved in game play
The most successful board games are the ones, which reward you for using strategy to manage the luck factor in the game, in other words, do the best you can, with what you are given.
A lot of people like that. Comparing it to other card games is not the only way to judge it.
Just a thought!
lcg are for chumps.
Actually, I find that luck based TCG games are a good thing. One of the main reasons why Yugioh is such a mess is because of the lack of luck and more of who has the better deck (which is usually the meta deck). Cardfight Vanguard used to be a good example (until the past 1-2 years of recent sets) where you could have a trial deck (a starting out deck that is premade around some specific card or card function) and still will against a deck that they may have paid at least 100$ on which means it was reallyfun to play because it didn't just mater if you ware a noob or a veteran.
The differences in art quality is quite jarring. Some of the cards are painterly, others look as though they're touched-up photos, others look CGI. It looks very inconsistent. The die just look terrible; like something a child would use.
man did the Kylo player do some stupid rerolls.
Stanley
I just got a shit load if these cards for free
Shout out to maximum comics
Meh! Is essentially magic with dice. I will stick to X Wing Miniatures
yeah, go pay shitload of money for little piece of plastic, wise choice
I like this but I wish there was a star wars card game that was more like MTG. No dice, no tokens to use a card, just the cards and that's it. This has more of a board game feeling than a card game.
Weak parody on Conquest. Return Conquest or smth with the same mechanics!
Oh NOW you people want to start supporting Conquest?
Em, we did it before. Whats ur point?
Gibbonize There is no point in FFG giving any attention to Conquest now since FFG and Games Workshop had a falling out and from February won't be working on any more games together anymore.
This game makes no sense. MTG makes more sense than this. Too much...
i am your daddy lol xD
i dont buy this. Why?
it includes the disney era!
Besides that it looks awesome tho
got about 7 minutes in and realized this game has a 0 interesting factor
Kawika Cortes will note in my journal.
For me, as a card game player for nearly 25 years,
this game as CCG format is a simple joke.
LCG, meybe.
No self-respecting card collector will spend a dime on this game.
Sorry.
You care to back that up?
With what?
Explain why you think it's a joke. You simply trashed the game without saying why you thought it was bad.
Nope. I didn't trashed this game.
I watched several presentations. It looks good for the casual player, however, CCG format eliminates this game because of the high costs for such a player.
In the long run, it can be thousands of dollars.
Collectors will be not interested in this game because of the simplicity and randomness of this title.
@edit
Each earlier card game from FFG was mechanically more interesting, and LCG.
Well calling it a joke seemed a bit like trashing.
Anyways, don't a lot of CCG games start out simpleish with the core set then get deeper/complex as the sets get added to it?
wow boring
