Star Wars Board Game FAQ
What is a miniatures game, and how do the various Star Wars ones differ?
Miniatures games utilize high-quality figures, often requiring painting and customization. Gameplay occurs on an open table with terrain, measuring distances instead of using a fixed board. Star Wars miniatures games offer diverse experiences: *X-Wing* provides simpler, pre-painted spaceship battles; *Armada* focuses on larger capital ships; *Shatterpoint* features detailed skirmishes with larger miniatures; and *Legion* offers larger-scale ground combat with unpainted miniatures.
