Along those lines, X-Wing includes another fun and interesting way to play right out of the box: story missions. It added some freshness and creativity to the game. This was great because it highlighted some of the ships that don’t normally see a lot of action in competitive play and introduced unique scenarios. During Day 2 of our recent Regional Championship this was on display with all kinds of smaller tournaments that restricted the ships that could be used. One of the great things about X-Wing is that it’s flexible enough to provide a lot of different ways to play. And while this is the most common way of playing the game, it’s by no means the only one. It’s a fan’s dream come true.īeyond the fact that it’s simply a great Star Wars game, the X-Wing meta-game of putting together an effective 100-point squadron out of all the ships, pilots, and upgrades that have been released up to this point is almost as exciting as playing the game itself. Better yet, the game captures the frenetic excitement of the space battles found in the Star Wars movies. It’s easy to learn, the pre-painted miniatures look great, and is relatively affordable compared to other minis games. As many of you know, the X-Wing Miniatures Game is pretty great.
