Star Wars Board Game FAQ
What is a miniatures game, and how do the various Star Wars ones differ?
Miniatures games use high-quality figures, often requiring painting and customization. Gameplay usually takes place on an open table with customizable terrain, unlike fixed board games. Star Wars offers several miniatures games: *X-Wing* (space combat, pre-painted models), *Armada* (fleet-level combat, pre-painted models, more expensive), *Shatterpoint* (smaller-scale ground combat, unpainted models, complex), and *Legion* (larger-scale ground combat, unpainted models).
