The Casual Lobby has three main areas: An area showing matches in progress, in the upper left portion of the screen; A chat window, on the bottom left of the screen; and A list of users, in the lower right corner. See the sections on Lobby Chat and Uer Lit for more information on those functions.

This opens a window where you can set up the match of your choosing. match Title: If you wish to name your match, simply enter a title in this eld.

You may choose to enforce one using this dropdown button. Timed matches are played using a game clock. The total time allotted for a game is divided in half between the two players. When it is your turn (or whenever the game is waiting on you to make a decision), your portion of time counts down, while your opponent’s does not. If your total time runs out, you forfeit the game. Paword: You may enter a password in this eld. Players must provide this password to join your match. Passwords are casesensitive.

Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 5 Launching Matches When players create or join a match, they enter the match Launch screen. This screen lists each player’s ready or unready status. There is also a chat area to communicate with any player who joins the match. When you are ready to play, click your Ready to go button. Once all players have done so, the match will begin. To learn more about how to play the match, see the section on Playing the Gae. Practice Games A Practice Gae can be played by any two players, even if there are no cards in their collections. Each player in a Practice Game uses a xed deck to play. The two decks are the same in each Practice Game, and are randomly assigned to the two players. To create a Practice Game, click the Practice Game icon at the top right of the Casual Lobby. You can join a Practice Game in the same manner you join a normally-created game. Tournaent Lobby The Tournaments Lobby contains a number of Constructed and Limited tournaments. Both scheduled and on-demand tournaments are available. The Tournaments Lobby has four main areas: •A list of tournament queues, in the upper portion of the screen; •A list of underway tournaments in the middle portion of the screen; •A chat window, on the bottom of the screen; and •A list of users, in the lower right corner See the sections on Lobby Chat and Uer Lit for more information on those functions. Understanding the Tournament Information Each row in the Tournament Queues list gives information on an available tournament before it begins. Any tournament listed in the Started Tournament list is a tournament that has already begun and contains information on the tournament in progress. You cannot join tournaments in progress, but you may join any waiting queue if you meet its entry requirements. The columns detail the following information: #: This is the number of the queue or the tournament. Though a waiting queue has one number, a different number will be assigned once the tournament begins. (For example: if eight players joined queue 13, a tournament numbered 392 might kick off. Queue 13 would then empty, and could be lled up by new players.) Title: This is the name of the Tournament. It includes the Type, Structure, and Style (such as Standard Constructed Match Play (2-3)). statu: This is the current status of this tournament. All tournament queues are shown as Waiting, while currently running tournaments show the round being played. Cur #: This is the current number of players either waiting in the queue or playing in the tournament. max #: This is the maximum number of players in the tournament. A scheduled tournament starts whenever the administrator decides (and can go over this maximum number). On-demand tournaments start as soon as the Max # of players has been reached. Round: This is the number of rounds in a tournament. Each round will last until all players have resolved their matches or until the time limit has expired – whichever happens rst. Tie: This is the maximum amount of time (in minutes) for each round in the tournament. The total time for a tournament may be as long as this length multiplied by the number of rounds. K : The K value is the weight a tournament will have on your Player Rating. A higher K value means bigger stakes and larger swings in your rating with each win o r loss. Pack Pool: This is the set from which reward boo ster packs will be drawn. Reward structure: This is the distribution of rewards for this tournament. (For example: if this column shows 5-4-3-2-1* for an eight-player tournament, the winner receives ve booster packs of the kind listed in the Pack Pool column, second place receives four packs, third receives three, fourth receives two, and all other players receive one.) In large-scale tournaments, you might see two or more asterisks in the Reward Structure column – such as 8-6-5-4-2*-1*. This usually will mean that the 2* is either the “rest of the top half” of players in the tournament, or some other similar structure. The nal 1* wou ld be the rest of all players. You can always reference the Events Calendar for more details. structure: This is the tournament structure. Queue tournaments can be Single Elimination or Swiss. (In a Swiss tournament, there are no eliminations; each player plays each round. The winner of a game is awarded 3 tournament points; the loser is awarded 1 point. In each new round, players are paired with opponents they have not yet faced in the tournament, in descending order according to the tournament points they’ve earned. The winner of the tournament is the person with the most tournament points at the end of all rounds.) Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 6 Tournament Types There are two major types of tournaments: Constructed and Limited. All tournament styles have timed games, using the same game clock you can choose to play with in a casual game. Contructed tournaments require you to bring a deck to the tournament, composed of cards in your collection. The default type of Standard means that all cards are permitted. Liited tournaments require you to bring unopened booster packs and/or starter decks, and players compete with decks made from the cards they open. Your general collection is not used in a Limited tournament (though cards you use in a Limited tournament join your general collection at the conclusion of the tournament). Limited tournaments have a Deck Building phase before the rst round where players use the Liited Deck Builder to create their tournament decks. Tournament Structure A tournament’s Structure tells players if they will be playing in Swiss or Single Elimination rounds during the tournament. swi tournaments allow players to play every round during the event. At the beginning of each round, a player is paired with another player of similar win/loss records. For example: In the rst round of a Swiss tournament the pairings will be completely random as all players have the same record. In the second round, winners will be paired with winners and losers will be paired with losers, and so on as each round progresses. Swiss tournaments with the proper number of rounds have a single undefeated player at the end of the tournament. A player is not eliminated from the event if they lose a game; he continues to play each round until all rounds of the tournament have completed. single Eliination tournaments have only one player left at the end of the tournament. In each round of play, if you lose your match, you are eliminated from the tournament. The tournament eld will be cut in half each round until there is a single player remaining. If you lose your match, you are then free to enter other events. Tournament Style A tournament’s style determines what it takes to defeat your oppon ent in any given match. Tournament style can be Single Game, Match Play, or a combination of the two. single Gae tournaments are when a match is determined by a single game. When one player bests the other in that single game, the match is over. match Play tournaments are when a match is determined by a series of games where one player needs to win the majority to be declared the winner. In a best 2 of 3 Match Play event, the winner of the match will need to win two games. In a best 3 of 5 event, the winner of the match will need to win three times. As soon as one player has won enough games to win the match, the match is over. Once a game is completed, if the winner of the match has not been determined, the subsequent game will immediately start. Cut to Top 8 tournaments are a hybrid type of event. Initial standings are determined with a series of Swiss rounds that identify the top 8 players. Once those players have been determined, they move on to a single elimination bracket tournament to determine the winner of the entire event. These tournaments are usually reserved for major events. Sprint Tournaments Sprint Tournaments are held on weeknights in the Tournament Lobby. Entrants in the tournament will receive Sprint points based on participation and number of wins. Cumulative rankings will be posted after each event on the Sprint Leaderboard. On the last weekday of the month, the player with the most Sprint points on the Sprint Leaderboard will win a special Gold Sprint Winner Medal, displayed next to the winner’s name in the game lobbies. Players who achieved the Silver level of Sprint points for the month will receive a Silver Sprint Winner Medal. Players who achieved the Bronze level of Sprint points for the month will receive a Bronze Sprint Winner Medal. On the rst weekday of the next month, all Sprint points and Sprint rankings will be reset, but Medal winners will keep their Medals. If they win subsequent Medals of the same color, a number will appear inside that Medal. For example, a three-time gold winner will have a gold Medal with the number “3” inside. Types of Tournament Queues Tournaments are either on-demand or scheduled events that appear on the Events Calendar. On-Deand tournaments will start as soon as the player cap has been reached. When one event starts, the queue will re-open and more players can join the new queue. These events are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. scheduled tournaments are started by SOE Staff. These events are larger and have no player cap. They will be scheduled to run at a certain time, and any queue for them will be o pened 30 minutes prior to the event’s start time. You can nd a list of up coming scheduled tournaments in the Events Calendar. sealed tournaments require you to bring either Event Passes or an unopened starter deck and unopened booster packs. Decks and packs are opened at the start of the tournament, then each player is given some time to use the Limited Deck Builder and construct a deck from that limited card pool. Players cannot access any other cards in their collections for this kind of tournament. In most Sealed Tournaments, you will have 10 minutes to build your deck (in Release Events, you will have more time to browse the new cards). Decks in a Sealed Tournament must conform to the deck requirements of a Constructed tournament. Use the Deck Validator to make sure your deck is legal in the format you are playing. Be sure to click the “Ready” button once you have completed your deck. If you do not save a valid deck within the time limit, you will play the rst round with the basic starter deck. You may modify your deck between rounds in a Sealed Tournament. You can do this by selecting the Deck Builder using the Navigator. Please note that you cannot return to the normal Deck Builder until the tournament has concluded or you have dropped from the tournament. Regitering for tournaent is an easy process. Any player that wants to participate in tournaments, whether On-Demand or Scheduled events, needs to become a registered player of Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game. To register, the player must make a purchase in the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game Store. Any purchase that includes at least a booster pack or starter deck will enable that account to enjoy the full features of Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game from that point forward – including tournaments. After you have made your purchase, simply log out of the client and when you next log in you will have registered your account to play in tournaments. Event Pae are required by most tournaments. These are your tickets into the various tournament events. They can be purchased through the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game Store or traded for in the Trade Lobby from other players. Each tournament queue will indicate how many event passes it will require to join the event. Event Passes will not be removed from your account until the event actually begins. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 7 On-Deand Queue will always appear in the tournament queue area of the Tournaments Lobby. When one event starts, the queue will re-open and more players can join the new queue. These events are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. scheduled Tournaent Queue are started by SOE Staff and will not appear in the tournament lobby until 30 minutes prior to the event start time. This 30-minute window is the only time when players may join a scheduled tournament. Once one of these tournaments begins, you can’t join that tournament. You must be on time prior to the tournament to participate. To see a list of scheduled tournaments and when they happen, you can visit the Events Calendar. Tournaent Inforation can be viewed at any time in the Tournaments Lobby. Simply right-click on any queue or started tournament and select “Get Info” to view information about that event, like tournament type, structure, and style, as well as event fee, number of rounds, and any rewards being given ou t. Additionally, if you are looking at a tournament already underway, you can get a list of participants, how well they are doing, any opponents they are currently playing, and what the current round is. At the end of any tournament, you can also get the nal standings to see where each player nished. Joining a Tournaent Queue is an easy process. Once you have become a registered Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game player and have found a tournament queue you wish to participate in, simply double-click the tournament to start joining the queue. At this point, the tournament will verify if you meet the entry requirements in Event Passes and any other entry cost (some Limited events require you to bring starter decks or b ooster packs). If you do no t meet these requirements, the event will let you know and you will need to back out, obtain the correct entry fees, then attempt to rejoin the event. selecting Your Deck for the tournament is the next step in joining a tournament. Once you have met the entry fee requirements, you will need to select the deck you wish to play for the entire event. Click on the “Select Deck” button to search through a list of decks you have created in the Deck Builder. Any deck with a green check mark is a valid deck for the tournament you are attempting to enter, and any deck with a red “x” is an invalid deck for the chosen tournament. Once the tournament has started, you cannot change your deck in any way, so make your selection carefully. Once you have chosen your deck, click the “Join” button and you are now in the tournament! If you are participating in a Limited format tournament, there is no need to select any deck as you will be opening sealed starter decks and/or booster packs with which you will be constructing your deck. Verifying You Are in the Tournaent is a good thing to do to ensure that you don’t miss out on any events. Once you have joined a tournament, you will get a pop up box that lists all the other players that have joined the same tournament queue. Do not close this box, as it will drop you from the tournament. Additionally, if you leave the Tournaments Lobby when this box is up you will leave the tournament automatically. If your tournament box is up and you have not left the tournament lobby, you can also verify that you are in the tournament by looking at your username in the list to the bottom right of the screen. If your name is green, then you are entered into a tournament correctly. Tournaent start Trigger are different depending on what Type of Tournament Queue you are entered in. An On-Demand tournament queue will start when the player cap has reached its limit. A Scheduled tournament queue will start exactly on the date and time it is scheduled to start no matter how many players are currently in the queue. Once you are entered in a tournament, there are several things that you need to know to make sure your experience is the best it can be. scoring for tournaments only affects Swiss tournaments. (Elimination tournaments remove players as they lose, so there is no need for a tournament score.) After a match is complete, each player will b e given a score reective of how they did in that match. The winning player will receive three (3) points and the defeated player will receive one (1) point toward their tournament score. As rounds progress, players will accumulate these points. The highest point total at the end of the tournament is declared the winner. In the case of ties, the higher placing players will be decided by strength of schedule tie-breakers. If there is an odd number of players as a round begins, the player with the lowest number of points will receive a “Bye” if he has not already received one. This is considered a three (3) point victory and that total will be added to his score at the end of the current round. The Gae Clock is an important thing to keep in mind as you play in tournaments. Each tournament will have a specied time limit for each round. This time limit will determine the amount of time each player has on his Game Clock. A Single Game match will have a Game Clock of 30 minutes, which is split between each player’s personal timer. This means each player will have 15 minutes within the game to complete all of his strategy moves in an attempt to defeat his opponent. If a player’s Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 8 time runs out, he loses the match, even if he was ahead on quests completed or avatar life remaining. In match Play, the Gae Clock i for all gae of the atch, so players can play slower in some games and faster in others, but have one continuous timer for all games. The standard Game Clock times are as follows: • Single Game – 30 Minute Game Clock – 15 Minutes for each player • Match Play (2 of 3) – 60 Minute Game Clock – 30 Minutes for each player total • Match Play (3 of 5) – 90 Minute Game Clock – 45 Minutes for each player total Between Round, players may leave the Tournaments Lobby if they desire. A Tournament Timer will be located in the b ottom left corner of the screen that will indicate how much time is left in the r ound, the current round number, and the tournament ID#. As long as you still have your tournament timer, you are still in the tournament. When the next round is ready to begin, each p articipant will be pulled back to the Tournaments Lobby. Any player can also get up to the minute scores and opponents by right-clicking the tournament information bar and selecting “Get Info.” Changing Deck Between Round is permissible for Limited events, but not for Constructed events. To change your deck in a Limited tournament, select the Deck Builder using the Navigator. This Limited Deck Builder includes only the cards you received in the current tournament. You can switch out cards from your deck as you see t and re-save the deck to use these new cards. Subsequent round s will feature this new deck. In Constructed tournaments, you are not allowed to change any cards in the deck you selected to use in the tournament. You can go to your Deck Builder and modify your current tournament deck, but the changes will not be made until after the tournament. Diconnecting from a tournament is not fun, but there are several safeguards in place to ensure that the impact is as minimal as possible on the outcome of the tournament. Once you disconnect, you have 10 minutes to reconnect before you start losing games. After this 10-minute period, any game in progress will be forfeited, and subsequent games will instantly be forfeited as they start if you are still ofine. However, if you reconnect quickly, the only thing you have lost is time on your Game Clock, as you will instantly be placed back in your game as you log in. Dropping Fro a Tournaent is sometimes necessary, as players have issues beyond their control that require them to leave the tournament. Once you are in a tournament, you will see a “Drop from Tournament” button. At any point, you may click this to remove yourself from the tournament you are currently participating in. Once clicked, a pop-up warning box will verify that you indeed want to remove yourself from that event. Players that drop from a tournament will receive any rewards they have earned at the conclusion of the tournament. The Tournaent Concluion will let players know what the nal standings are, based on the points players have accumulated over the course of the event. (You can right-click on the tournament information bar and select “Get Info” to see this information.) At this point, rewards are given to players based on their performance in the event. However, some rewards will need to be manually awarded if they are special in nature, and can be given up to 48 hours after the conclusion of the tournament. When the tournament is concluded, a player’s Tournament Timer will disappear and the player is now eligible to enter another event at his discretion. Trade Lobby The Trade Lobby is where players meet to trade cards, event passes, booster packs, and other tradeable objects. The main areas of the Trade Lobby are similar to those of the Casual Lobby. Trading with Other Players To begin a trade with another p layer you can: Type /trade [player nae] into the chat; or Right-click on a player’s name in the User List and select Trade from the dropdown menu. The other player will receive a popup asking if he would like to trade. If your offer is accepted, you and the other player are brought to the Trade Screen. Trade Screen The Trade Screen is similar to the Collection Manager. It features a Collection Binder and the Filter & search options found in the Deck Builder and Collection Manager. When you rst enter the Trade Screen, your trade partner’s collection will be visible to you (and, by default, he will be looking at yours). If you need to refer back to your own collection, you can click the tab at the top of the Collection Binder. The Collection Binder lists cards in card number order within a set. You can click on the arrows (or the bottom corners of the binder) to move through the pages of the binder. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 9 You will see only cards that your trading partner owns and has listed as willing to trade away. If you see a card you like, you can add it to a proposed trade in one of three ways: Double-clicking on a card adds one copy to the proposed trade. Clicking and dragging a card to the You get area of the screen adds one copy to the pro posed trade. Right-clicking on a card creates a dropdown list, where you can add 1-5 copies to (or remove them from) the proposed trade. As you and your partner decide on cards you’d like to exchange, cards coming your way are shown in the You get area, while cards leaving your collection and going to the player are shown in the They get area. You can double-click on a card in either area to remove it from the trade. You can also click the Clear button to cancel the present trade proposal entirely. When you and your partner are satised with the trade, click the Accept button. When both players click Accept, a conrmation dialog box will appear. When both players click Accept on that dialog box, the trade is completed and players swap cards. You will each receive delivery windows indicating your new cards moments after you trade. You may continue to process more trades, if you wish. To end a trade session, you can either click one of the tabs on the right side of the screen (to Logout or move to a different lobby), or right-click on a blank space on o r around the trading binder and select Return to Lobby from the dropdown menu that appears. Posted Trades In a posted trade, one player species the exact trade he is looking for (both what he wants and what he is offering in exchange), and leaves it in the Trade Lobby like a message board post, waiting for another player to reply and accept the trade. To access posted trades, you can: Type /ptrade into the chat; or Click the Poted Trade button in the Trade Lobby. When you access posted trades, you’ll see a window displaying all trades currently being offered by other players. If you see an offer you’d like, and you have what is specied in the Want column, double click on the listing. Click the box at the lower left to “Only show trades I can accept.” You’ll be shown a detailed listing of the items involved, and be given the choice to Accept or Close the trade. If you accept, the server will rst conrm that both parties still own the items in question, then automatically complete the trade. You can use the Search eld to look for trades involving specic items. The trade list updates immediately, as you type. To post your own trade, click the Create button at the upper left of the posted trades window. You’ll be taken to a special version of the Trade Screen. It works the same way as it does during a live trade, but you will have to specify both sides of the trade yourself by toggling between the Their and Your tabs at the top of the trade binder. Also, the Their collection tab will display a collection of 4 copies of every card. Once the You get and They get windows correctly display your proposed trade, click Accept to post it. From there, all you have to do is wait for another player to come along and agree to your terms. Guild Guilds are player-made groups that any player may create or join. You may access Guilds from the Navigator, or by typing /guild in lobby chat. You’ll see a window displaying information about all current g uilds. All Guilds Rank: This is the guild’s ranking in relation to other guilds. A guild’s ranking is determined by combining the overall ratings of all guild Members. Nae: The guild’s name.

guild can have up to 10 0 players. Leader: The creator of the guild, who may invite or remove members as needed. meber: All players in the guild are listed here, whether they are online or not. Friends’ Guilds This is a listing similar to the All Guilds listing, however, these guilds contain users that you have agged as a friend. This handy r eference will let you know what guilds you might want to join or have friendly competition with. Creating a Guild To create a guild, click the Create button at the top of the screen. This will bring up a dialog box where you can enter the guild’s name. Name your guild appropriately (keeping in mind the code of conduct) and when done, click Create. You can’t create a guild if you are already a member of a guild. Inviting Members into Your Guild and Joining Existing Guilds If you are the leader of your Guild, you may invite other players who are not already members of other guilds to join. You can do this in your Guild’s user interface by entering their name in the “Invite New Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 10 Members” dialog box. You may also invite players in a game lobby in two ways: Right-click on the player’ nae in the uer lit and elect Invite to Guild fro the drop-down enu; or Type: /guildinvite [player nae] into the player chat. The player will receive a pop-up message with your invitation and a link to the details of your guild. Leaving a Guild Should you wish to leave guild, you may do so in two ways: Click on the Leave Guild button in the Guild window; or Type /leaveguild into the player chat of any lobby. If you are the leader of the Guild, another player will become the leader. (Should you later wish to rejoin the guild, you will need to contact that person.) Removing Players from Your Guild Should the need arise, the leader of a gu ild can eject a player from the guild by right-clicking on their name in the Guild Members user interface and selecting “Kick from Guild,” or by typing: /guildkick [player’ nae] Viewing Your Guild Details Overview This section shows you guild details such as Ofcers, your Guild’s Total Ratings, and your Guild’s Average Ratings. Ofcers: These users can modify the Guild Message, and invite and remove members in the guild. The Guild Leader can create Guild Ofcers by right-clicking on a username in the Guild Member user interface and selecting “Grant Guild Ofcer Status.” The Guild Leader also has the ability to revoke Ofcer status in the same manner. Total Rating: These are representative of the cumulative ratings of all members of this Guild.

Settings This section is for Guild Leaders and Guild Ofcers Invite New meber: Enter a player’s username in this box to invite them to your guild. Guild meage: Guild Leaders and Ofcers can set a Guild Message by typing in this box. When any member of your guild logs in, they will have a pop up that lets them know what this message is. Additionally, you can check the “Send to all logged in members of the guild immediately” button when you submit a guild message, and it will instantly broadcast this message to all logged in members of your guild. Guild Chat Each member of a guild can chat with each other in private via the Guild Chat function. To use Guild chat, simply type “/g [message]” in any chat window and your message will be able to be viewed by all members of your guild. Guild Chat appears in green text, with your g uild’s name preceding the name of the user who sent it. You can use Guild Chat in Scenarios, Casual Games, Tournament Games, and any lobby. Guild-Only Matches One feature of being in a g uild is the ability to establish Guild-Only matches in the Casual Lobby and in the Trade Lobby. When you create a match in either of these lobbies, you will see the option to make your match Guild-Only. A Guild-Only match can be joined or observed only by players in your guild. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 11 Guild-Only Trades When creating a Posted Trade, you have the ability to set it so that only members of your Gu ild can accept the trade. A Guild-Only trade can only be viewed by members in your Guild. Lobby Chat All lobbies (and many other screens) have their own chat windows. Upon entering a lobby, you automatically join its chat window, and can see any message sent to it. To the right of each chat window is a Uer Lit showing who is in that lobby. Chat Window Commands There are several commands that can be entered in the chat window. /tie Entering “/time” gives you the time, according to the server clock. Scheduled events always refer to this time. /e Entering “/me” causes the text following the command to appear in the chat window, preceded by your name. For example, if your username was Demonstrator, and you entered /me is demonstrating an emote. the following will appear in the chat window: Demonstrator is demonstrating an emote. /ignore Entering “/ignore” adds a p layer to your Ignore List. You no longer see any text output from that player, he can no longer invite you to trade, he cannot ping you, and he can no longer join casual games you are hosting. For example, to ignore the player Bob, you would type: /ignore Bob /unignore Entering “/unignore” removes a player from your Ignore List. For example, to remove Bob from your Ignore List, you would type: /unignore Bob /addfriend To add a player to your Friends List, enter “/addfriend” when that player is in the same lobby as you. For example, to add the player Bob to your Friends List, you would type: /addfriend Bob /reovefriend To remove a player from your Friends List, enter “/removefriend” when that player is in the same lobby as you. For example, to remove the player Bob from your Friends List, you would type: /removefriend Bob You can manage your Friends List and your Ignore List by selecting Friends from the Navigator. /ayto Entering “/sayto” directs a comment in the chat window to a particular player in the same lobby as you. All players can still see the comment, but it is prefaced with “(to )” to indicate the player it is intended for. For example, if your username is Carol, and you want to say “Hello” to Bob, you would type: /sayto Bob Hello The following would appear in the chat window: Carol (to Bob): Hello You may instead enter “/st” to use this command. /whiper Entering “/whisper” sends the content of message privately to a particular player in the same lobby as you. It will appear only in that player’s chat window. For example, if your username is Carol, and you want to send a private “Hello” to Bob, you would type: /whisper Bob Hello The following would appear only in Bob’s chat window: Carol whispers to you, Hello While you would see: You whisper to Bob, Hello You may instead enter “/w” or “/msg” to use this command. /ping Entering “/ping” will cause a system beep and a text message to appear in that player’s chat window. /joingae Entering “/joingame” allows you to join a game you specify (by the number on its Match Medallion), as long as it has available seats. For example, to join game #127491, you would type: /joingame 127491 /obervegae Entering “/observegame” allows you to join a game you specify (by the number on its Match Medallion) as an observer. For example, to join game #98326 as an observer, you would type: /observegame 98326 Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 12 /reue Entering “/resume” gives you a popup window listing your adjourned games currently available to resume. For a game to be available, all opponents from that game must currently be in the same lobby. You can Reue or Delete an adjourned game using the buttons in the window. /trade Entering “/trade” asks a player if he would like to enter a trade session with you. It functions exactly the same way as right-clicking a player’s name in the User List and selecting “Trade.” You must be in the Trade Lobby to use this command. /help Entering “/help” or “/?” prints a list of all available commands in the chat window. Additional Commands In any chat window, you may also use the following keys: Up Arrow and Down Arrow: Scroll through the previous messages you have typed. Left Arrow and Right Arrow: Move the cursor left or right within the message you are currently typing. Hoe and End: Move the cursor to the beginning or end of the message you are currently typing. shift-Left Arrow and shift-Right Arrow: Highlight text to the left or right of the cursor. (You can also highlight text using the mouse.) Ctrl-C: Copy the currently highlighted text. Ctrl-X: Cut the currently highlighted text. Ctrl-V: Paste the currently highlighted text. Uer Lit To the right of the chat window in each lobby is a list of the users currently in that lobby. Next to each player’s name is his Player Avatar. The color of a name indicates that user’s status. White indicates the player is currently in the lobby. Green indicates the player is in the process of starting a game. Red indicates the player is in a game, the Deck Builder, or the Collection Manager. Dark Gray indicates the player is at the Main Lobby. If you right-click on a player’s name or icon, you’ll get a dropdown list with several useful commands: Challenge (only available in the Casual Games Lobby) Join hoted gae (only available in the Casual Games Lobby) Oberve atch (only available in the Casual Games Lobby) Trade (only available in the Trade Lobby) Add to friend lit Ignore Invite to guild Kick fro guild Get info DECK BUILDER You can start playing Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game right away using any starter deck. Most players, however, enjoy the deeper strategy of personalizing their own decks. You may build a deck using any of the cards in your collection. Contructing Your Deck Using your online collection, you can create decks for casual matches and Constructed tournaments. The top portion of the screen is a “collection container” showing all the cards in your collection. The bottom portion is a “deck container” showing the cards in the deck currently under construction. On the top of the screen is the Filter button and search button. Between the top and bottom portions of the screen are buttons for Open Deck , save Deck , Tool, and Create Avatar. The collection container and deck container can be viewed in either Graphic View or Table View. Table View hides the illustrations, but allows you to sort by card title or attributes. You can add cards to your deck in two ways: Double-click a card to add one copy; Right-click a card and select the number of copies you’d like to add to or remove from the deck. See the section on Filter & search Options for more information on searching your collection for specic cards. Deck Builder Option In the middle of your Deck Builder, there are several options for managing your deck les. New Deck clears the deck you’re working on (if any). Open Deck opens decks you’ve already saved. save Deck saves the deck you’re currently working on. Decks are saved not on your computer, but on the server. Tool provides an assortment of helpful selections. Create Avatar lets you make your own avatar card. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 13 Tools The Tools button has a dropdown menu with several selections. Validate will check your deck against several different play formats. statitic show you a breakdown of your deck’s cards by type and cost. Tet Draw lets you simulate an opening hand. Deckbuilding Wizard helps you create your own deck design, step by step. Validate The Validator is a tool you can use to check which play formats allow your current deck. Clicking on the various format names at the upper left displays a description to the right. If all the elds below the format description display a green checkmark, the current deck is legal for that format. If any eld displays a red X, the deck is not legal for that format. You may click any red X for an explanation of the problem. Statistics This option accesses a series of charts and graphs detailing the composition of your deck. Your avatar and quests are not included in any of the calculations. The Ratio tab shows a pie chart and p ercentages of each card type in your deck. The Cot tab shows a bar graph and the number of each card type, by cost, in your deck. Percentages are also displayed. Test Draw This option can help you get a sense of what an average hand might look like for the currently active deck, or how many card draws it might take to get a combo into play. It defaults to a sample opening hand of six cards. Click on cards in the hand to discard them, and click Draw to draw a new card. Click Shufe & Redraw to restart the process. Create Avatar This button allows you to create your own avatar card. It’s a multi-step process, and you’ll be guided through each d ecision. • Select your species. • Select your gender. • Select your career. • Answer a few more questions and then name your avatar. To the right are a series of radio buttons to make your selections, and on the left you can watch your card change with each one. A “Back” button is provided in case you want to review your choices. Once you’re done creating your avatar, give it a name and then it’s saved as a card in your Collection and Deck Builder to make n ew decks. Liited Deck Builder When you participate in a Limited tournament, you will use a special version of the Deck Builder to construct and modify your deck. It is Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 14 similar to the normal Deck Builder, though you will only have access to the cards available to you in that tournament. Before the rst round of the tournament begins, you’ll have a xed amount of time to construct your deck. The time remaining to you will be displayed at the top of the screen. When you complete your deck, click the save Deck button near this timer to signal you are ready to begin. If there is an error with your deck, your deck will not be saved, and the Deck Validator will open to explain the error. Between rounds of the tournament, you may return to the Limited Deck Builder. If you nish a round early, you may use the extra time you have to make modications to your deck. (Again, you are limited to the cards you can access during the tournament.) COLLECTION mANAGER The Collection Manager is where you organize your cards, packs, and decks. All of these things are displayed in a virtual Collection Binder. You can move around your binder by clicking on the arrows at the bottom corners of the binder pages. The Collection Manager is also where you open products you’ve bought in the Online Store, won in tournaments, or received from other players in trade. New, unopened items appear on the rst page(s) of your binder. Right-click on a starter deck or booster pack to open it (or, if you wish, multiple packs). The Collection Manager can list your cards in Graphic View or Table View. You can toggle between the two using the button in the upper right corner of the Collection Manager screen. When in the Graphic View, there are three numbers listed under every card: Quantity (how many copies you own); Want (how many copies you’d like in your collection); and Trade (how many extra copies you have) or Need (how many copies you want to add), depending on whether your Qty is higher or lower than your Want for that card. You can adjust the Want eld using the up and down arrows. When you participate in a trade, other players will see only the cards that you want to trade (cards with a Trade value of 1 or more). This makes trades easier by only displaying those cards that you wish to trade. If you’d like to search for a specic card, you can use the Filter & search options at the top of the Collection Manager. FILTERs & sEARCH OPTIONs While using the Deck Builder or Collection Manager, or while engaging in Trade with another player, you may wish to search for a specic card, browse for cards of a certain type, or maybe search for cards with a certain word or phrase in their title or text. To do this, use the Filter & search options located at the top of the screen. Clicking on the Filter button will display a number of search options that let you limit your view to cards of a specic archetype, card type, etc. These lters are off by default. When a lter is on, the light beside it will be switched on. When you access the dropdown menus, left-clicking on an entry will toggle it on or off. For example: If you access the Card Type dropdown menu, then left-click on Ability and on Avatar , you will only see ability and avatar cards. Nueric Attribute Filter The Numeric Attribute Filters allow you to lter by card or collection attributes that contain numeric values, such as cost, attack, defense, and more. You can select an attribute and a logical operator from their respective dropdown menus, and enter a numeric value to lter by. These lters are enabled and disabled by clicking them. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 15 The logical operators are:
Greater Than = Greater Than or Equal To = Equal To <= Less Than or Equal To < Less Than != Not Equal To search You can enter text into the search input window. This will lter the card pool based on that text. By default, the game searches title, keywords, game text, artist, and lore. You can limit the search to particular elds by clicking or right-clicking any of the elements in the search dropdown menu. Gae Text This describes what the card does in the game. Some game text includes special highlighted terms. Left-click on any such term to get a tooltip explaining it in detail. Lore This italicized text tells you more about the storyline of the game. It does not directly impact gameplay. On some cards, the game text is too lengthy for the lore to be displayed at the same time. Click the lore button (the datapad icon) at the lower right of a card to toggle between the game text and lore of such cards. Collector Inforation On the bottom edge of every Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game card, you’ll nd information to help you identify its rarity and the set it comes from. The rst number tells you which set the card comes from (for example, 1 is Champions of the Force). The letter tells you the rarity of the card (R is rare, U is uncommon, C is common, and F is a card found in starter decks or a reward card for completing a scenario.) Last is the number for that card in the set. Some cards have a P for their rarity, marking a special Promo card separate from (but related to) a normal expansion set. These cards are made available in a variety of ways, including gifts to subscribers, rewards for high-level tournaments, and more. PREFERENCEs The Preferences can be accessed from the Main Lobby or Navigator. They offer a number of ways to customize the game’s behavior and appearance. It is split into four categories. Clicking Accept on any Preferences screen saves any modications you’ve made. Clicking Reet cancels your most recent changes. Account Info This page of the Preferences screen lets you determine what other players see when they click on your name in a User List and Get Info on you. You can write a personal message, include details like an instant messenger handle and home page, and decide which elements of your information are viewable to everyone, no one, or just your buddies. Avatar Here you can select your in-game avatar to be displayed when you create a game or play a game. This represents you, the player, and is not related to the avatar cards in your collection. sound Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 16 Adjust volume of sound and music separately or mute all sound. Uer Interface This screen lets you select options for many user interface selections in several categories. General Lobby meage: Turn on to show arriving and leaving lobby messages. Requet Attention: Turn on to receive pings from other players. Left Navigator Pule: Turn on to activate the ashing animation for the slide-out Navigator. multi-Pa Rendering: Turn on for improved performance.

Auto-select Firt Action: When you double-click a card on the playmat that has more than one available action, if this option is on, it will automatically select the rst one. If this option is off, you’ll receive a drop-down menu of available actions to select from. Card Size Select Small, Medium, or Large size to display cards for your Deck Builder Collection, Deck Builder Deck, and Playat. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 17 PLAYING THE GAmE This section explains all the rules of the game, plus the in-game interface. First, a normal 2-player, 1-versus-1 game is described. Later you will nd rules for Multiplayer team games and heroic encounters. You’ll nd it easier to learn the b asics by playing the tutorials. Access them from the Lobby by clicking on the Tutorial button. TYPEs OF CARDs There are six different types of cards in Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game: avatar, quest, unit, ability, item, and tactic. Whenever the game text of a card directly contradicts these rules, the card takes precedence. The card overrides only the rule that applies to that specic situation. Some cards have terms that appear highlighted in blue. You can click on these terms to get an explanation of their meaning. Avatar Each deck contains exactly one avatar. Your avatar represents the character you’ve chosen to play in Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game. The item and ability cards you play are usable only by your avatar. Your character persuades the denizens of the galaxy, called units in the game, to join your cause. Your avatar is a card that’s played to the playmat as soon as you enter the game. Next to that are its attributes, a red health bar, and a blue power bar. Right-click this portrait to see a larger version o f your avatar card. Click that again to make it go away. This avatar represents you, the player, and you lose the game if it is destroyed. Attributes Avatars have three different attributes: Attack – Used when you’re attacking to increase your chance of winning a combat. Defene – Used when you’re defending. Daage Bonu – Used to increase the amount of damage you’ll deal when you hit an enemy in combat. Exerting All three attributes on your avatar don’t do anything until you exert your avatar to use one of them. To use the attribute on a card, you have to exert that card. Like many decisions in Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game, exerting your avatar is a trade-off. If you exert for attack during a combat, you won’t be able to exert for damage bonus later in that same combat. If you exert for defense during your opponent’s turn, you won’t be able to exert for attack in your next Quest Phase. Health Your avatar also has a limited amount of Health – this is the amount of damage that must be dealt to the avatar to destroy it. When your avatar runs out of health, you lose the game. Health is represented on your avatar card with a heart icon, and on the playmat it’s a red bar to the left of your avatar picture. Archetypes Each avatar is one of four archetypes: • Jedi – Those devoted to the light side of the Force. • Rebel – Soldiers of the Alliance like Ofcers and Medics. • Imperial – Soldiers of the Empire like Commandos and Spies. • Sith – Those who worship the power of the dark side. Any other cards in your deck that belong to one of those fou r archetypes must be compatible with the archetype of your avatar. Traits Just below your avatar’s card title is a line that has traits (including card type). A trait is a label on a card that can be referred to by the game text of other cards. Your avatar has a species trait, such as “Twi’lek” on Rachi Sitra’s card. Game Text At the bottom of your avatar card is a box that has game text, which adds strategic options with actions you can take to help you win the g ame. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 18 Quet Each player has a quest pile that contains exactly four quest cards, one each of levels 2, 4, 5, and 6. A quest is like a mission your avatar must take several steps to complete. Using your avatar, you will attempt quests and try to complete them. When you complete a quest and your quest pile is empty, you win the game. Levels The level of a quest tells you how many level tokens are needed to complete it. When you enter the game, the level 2 quest in each player’s quest pile is played to the playmat. Like your avatar card, many quests have an archetype. You can only add a quest that has an archetype to your quest pile if it matches the archetype of your avatar. Some quests are generic (they have no archetype) and they can be added to any quest pile. When you complete a quest, the next-highest quest is played from your quest pile to replace it. Unit Units are denizens of the galaxy that have been inspired or coerced to support you against the enemy. They have the same attributes as your avatar (attack, damage bonus, and defense) and they have health, though they are more easily destroyed. When your units are at a quest that your opponent is attempting, he’ll have to ght his way through them to apply an ability there. When you play a unit, you’ll have to select one of the two quests on the playmat. If you want to raid your opponent’s avatar, play your unit to a quest where your opponent has no units. If your opponent has units at a quest, you can play units there and raid to clear them out. Ability Ability cards represent the skills and talents learned by your avatar in your adventures across the galaxy. They defend you in combat, and they also help you complete quests. Ability cards are shufed into your deck and played from your hand. They belong to your avatar. Like units or avatars, most abilities have a defense attribute. When your avatar is defending, you can exert one of your abilities to add its defense attribute to your total defense. Most abilities also have a level attribute. Quest cards and most ability cards have levels. The level of a quest determines how hard it is to complete it. The level of an ability determines how many level tokens it creates when you apply it. If your ability is exerted for defense on your opponent’s turn, you won’t be able to apply it during your next Quest Phase. When you apply an ability to a quest, a number of level tokens equal to that ability’s level are created at that quest. Once you select a quest to attempt, you’ll have to ght any opposing units at that quest. Any units you have at that same quest won’t ght alongside you. You’ll have to run this gauntlet alone. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 19 Ite Item cards are used when your avatar is in combat. Items have attributes like units and avatars. Items usually don’t have health. Weapons Items that have the weapon trait often have attack and damage bonus attributes. Armor Items that have the armor trait often have a defense attribute. Many item cards have an archetype, limiting them to decks that are using an avatar that has a matching archetype. Some are generic, having no archetype, and they can go into any deck. Restrictions Many item cards have a restriction . You can have only one card for each restriction on the playmat. Items that have the starship restriction also have a health attribute, much like the health attributes on units and avatars. When you play a card that has the same restriction as another card you already have on the playmat, two things happen.
- The card you have in play is destroyed.
- You draw a card. Tactic Tactics provide surprise and let you turn the tables on your opponent. They can be played only during combat. Once a combat has begun, players alternate performing actions beginning with the attacker. When it’s your turn to act, in addition to using the cards you h ave on the playmat, you can also play a tactic from your hand. Like other card types, tactics often have an archetype. There are also generic tactics, usable in any deck. Many tactics don’t have a cost to play them. To play a card that has a power cost during your opponent’s turn, you have to save power from your previous turn. Tactics usually have conditions in their game text that limit how they can be played. Some only work when you’re attacking or defending, and some work only on units or avatars (not both). When a tactic card is played, its effect occurs and then it’s placed in the discard pile. EXERT AND READY Exert Except for quests, your cards on the playmat can be either “ready” (available for your use), or “exerted” (they have been used, or are otherwise unavailable to you). When a card is exerted, its image becomes shaded. A symbol shows you why that card was exerted (attack, defense, damage bonus). Otherwise, the card is ready. Many actions you can take in the game require you to exert a ready card. You can only exert a card that is ready. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 20 Ready When you ready a card, that card is no longer exerted. You can only ready an exerted card. During each of your Ready Phases, every one o f your exerted cards is automatically readied. THE GAmE sCREEN The Game Screen is where all the action takes place. It is divided into several areas, explained below. Each player has a deck , a hand , a discard pile, an avatar , and a quest pile. Each player has an items area and an abilities area. The middle of the playmat is divided into left and right zones, and each one has one quest . Your Deck Your deck is shufed before the game begins. Players can’t look at the cards in either deck, but icons to the left of the screen tell you how many cards remain in each deck. Your Hand Your hand is made up of cards drawn from your deck. They’re displayed at the bottom edge of the screen. At any time, you can mouse over the card tops at the bottom of the screen to see the entire card. Icons to the left of the screen tell you how many cards are in each player’s hand. If you want more information on a card in your hand (o r on the playmat), you can hover your mouse over it to view its tooltip. You can also rightclick on any card to make a magnied image of it appear on screen. Click on that magnied image to close it. Your Dicard Pile Your discard pile is where cards go when they’re discarded or destroyed. Icons to the left of the screen tell you how many cards are in each player’s discard pile. You can click those icons to see those cards. At the start of the game, there are no cards in either player’s discard pile. Your Avatar Your avatar is the main card in your play deck. It’s played to the playmat before the game begins. Your avatar is at the bo ttom of the playmat, just above your hand. Your opponent’s avatar is at the top of the screen. It’s like your character. All the item cards a player plays appear to the left of his avatar, while the ability cards he plays appear to the right. Along the left edge of each avatar are two vertical bars. The blue one is that avatar’s power meter and the red one represents that avatar’s health. Each of these two bars is segmented depending on the total number it represents. For example, if your avatar has 11 health and has taken 1 damage, it will have 10 red segments at the bottom and 1 darkened at the top. Info Button Located on the playmat avatar of the boss of a heroic encounter or a scenario opponent, you can click this button to display the victory conditions for the game you’re playing. Chat Log In the lower right of the game screen is the chat log. This contains text messages from the game, as well as messages from your opponent and anyone observing. You can use the scrollbar to travel up the log and read old messages – a useful feature, since plenty can happen in a game and you might want to go back and read about it. Game Messages Any message relating to the events of the game starts with an asterisk. For example:
- You draw Field Command Boots.
- Shocho draws a card. Cards mentioned in the Log will be underlined, and in colored text. You can click on any of these underlined names to make a magnied image of that card appear on screen. Click on that magnied image to close it. Talking to Other Players Messages from your opponent (and any observers) start with the player’s name, such as: Paladon: I think your Sith Shadows are going to crush me. You can type messages into the Chat Log and send them by pressing the Enter key. In games with observers, it may be necessary to direct your text at a certain player. To do so, type /st (player name) or, to send a private whisper, /whisper (player name). (For example: To whisper a private message to Vicki, you’d type: /whisper Vicki Come to see me get smashed? ) Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 21 Chat Log Options The button at the bottom of the Chat Log allows you to lter what types of messages will be displayed in the log. Simply click on it to toggle between options. This option displays all player chat and game messages. This is the default setting. This option displays only player chat. You won’t see any game messages. This option displays only game messages. You won’t see any player chat. Propt Appearing on the playmat is the prompt, a constantly updating message that tells you what is happening in the game. The prompt tells you if the game is expecting you to perform actions or make some choice, or if you are waiting on your opponent to do so. Many times (such as during your Main Phase), one or more buttons may appear here for you to provide input. The Playat The playmat is the focus of the game. This space where you and your opponent face off is divided into a number of smaller sections. Right-clicking on the playmat generates a dropdown menu where you can choose to concede a game, offer a draw (in a Casual Game only), or offer to adjourn the game (saving it to be completed later). Review Dialog At any time during a scenario or heroic encounter, right-click the open area of the playmat to select the Review Dialogs option. You’ll see a list of all the dialogs presented previously in this game. Quet meter At the center of the playmat is the quest meter. Your progress and your opponent’s progress in completing quests are displayed here. During combat, information pertaining to your attack or defense in the combat appears just below (or above) the quest meter. Quet Two quests are always on the playmat. A line connects the quests, running through the quest meter. Any unit cards a player plays at a quest will appear on his side of this line (above or below it). Player Info Panel Each player in the game has a player info panel along the left edge of the playmat. These contain important information about each player. That player’s name is displayed, along with the following three statistics. Nuber of card in hand. You can’t view the cards held in the hands of your opponents. Nuber of card reaining in hi deck. When a player has to draw a card and can’t, he loses. Nuber of card in hi dicard pile. You can click on the discard pile icon to view the cards in that player’s discard pile. Phae meter Located at the bottom left corner of the playmat, the Phase Meter shows the current phase and turn number, along with a unique match number assigned to the game. You can mouse over the phase icons to see tooltip explanations. Quet Pile You can click the quest pile icon to view the quests remaining in your quest pile. You can’t view quests in your opponent’s quest pile. WINNING THE GAmE There is one way for you to win the game and two ways to lose: • Win the game by completing a quest when your quest pile is epty. (Normally, when you complete your fourth quest, you win.) • Lose the game when your avatar is destroyed. • Lose the game when your deck runs out of cards. (If at any time you need to draw a card and have none remaining, you lose the game.) In rare situations, it is possible for all players’ avatars to be destroyed simultaneously as part of a single game action. In that case, the player currently taking his turn is the winner. sETTING UP A GAmE As soon as you enter the game, several things happen automatically.
- The rst player is determined randomly.
- Each player’s avatar is played.
- Each player’s level 2 quest is played.
- Each player’s deck is shufed.
- A hand of six cards is drawn for each player. Redraw Your Hand Starting with the rst player, each player gets the opportunity to redraw his or her opening hand. There’s a penalty, however, Your avatar is dealt 1 damage. Each player can redraw his or her hand only once per game, and only at the start of the game. When both players have settled on their opening hands, the rst player’s turn begins. TURN sEQUENCE Players alternate back and forth, each taking a turn until the game ends. Each turn is divided into four phases that occur in order: • Draw Phase • Quest Phase • Ready Phase • Main Phase At the lower left of the playmat area is the phase meter . Each phase of the turn is shown there by an icon that you can mouse over for more information. Whether you’re taking your turn or it’s your opponent’s turn, the phase the active player is currently in is illuminated. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 22 DRAW PHAsE The turn begins with your Draw Phase. At the start of your Draw Phase, you lose any power you have remaining, and then you gain power. The amount you gain is equal to 3 plus the number of quests completed by both players. For example, if you have completed 1 quest and your opponent has completed 2, you receive 6 power (base of 3 + 1 for your quest +2 for your opponent’s quests) during your draw phase. Then, two cards are drawn from your deck and added to your hand and that ends your Draw Phase. If at any time you have to draw a card from your deck and you can’t because none remain, you lose the game. Note that if you take the rst turn o f the game, you do not draw two cards at the end of your rst Draw Phase. This rule doesn’t apply on the rst turn of any other player. QUEsT PHAsE Next is your Quest Phase. If you have no ready abilities that have levels on the playmat, you don’t attempt a quest and your Quest Phase ends. Otherwise, you must follow these steps:
- Select a quest to attempt.
- Begin combat between your avatar and any opposing units at that quest.
- Whether you win or lose the combat, apply one of your ready abilities that has a level at that quest.
- If you have enough level tokens at that quest, it’s completed and you gain 1 power. Whenever you apply an ability to a quest, that ability is destroyed and a number of level tokens equal to the level of that ability are created at that quest. A completed quest is replaced with one from your quest pile – the one remaining that has the lowest level. You do this even if the quest you completed belonged to your opponent. As you complete quests, a number of gems b ecome illuminated on your quest meter, located in the center of the playmat. Whether you complete the quest or not, the Quest Phase then ends. When you complete your fourth quest, you win the game! more on the Quet Phae Though it doesn’t occur often, it is possible for you to begin a quest and then have all your abilities become exerted in combat before you have a chance to apply one. In such a case, the Quest Phase ends immediately after the combat. Some cards make it possible to move a level token fro m one quest to the other. If a level token is moved and makes a player’s total level tokens at a quest high enough to complete it, he doesn’t complete it until the next time he quests there. Attempting a quest in the Quest Phase is not optional. If you have any ready abilities that have a level, you must choose a quest to attempt. If one of your opponents h as any units there, you must begin combat with them. If you have any ready abilities that have a level when combat ends, you must choose one to apply beneath the quest. READY PHAsE In your Ready Phase, all your exerted cards become readied. You don’t normally make any decisions or take any actions during this phase. If you have no exerted cards when your Ready Phase begins (for example, on your rst turn of the game), your Ready Phase ends. mAIN PHAsE The Main Phase is when most of the actions of your turn take place. During this phase, you may: • Play an item. • Play an ability. • Play a unit to a quest. • Perform any Main Phase (marked with the icon) activated actions on your cards. • Begin a raid using all your ready units at one quest. You may perform actions in any order you like. You aren’t required to perform all (or even any) of them. Unless otherwise specied, you may perform each action multiple times. You can’t “undo” any action once you begin to perform it. Once you have performed all the actions you wish, click the Done button in the Prompt area to end this p hase and proceed to the draw phase o f your opponent’s turn.. Playing Card During your Main Phase, you may play an item, ability, or unit card from your hand. To play a card, you may either: • Click and drag it from your hand to the appropriate section of the playmat; or • Double-click it. If it’s a unit, you’ll be asked which quest to play it to. Power cost To play a card, you must have enough available power to pay its cost. You may play as many items, abilities, and units as you like each turn, subject to the limitations of your available power. Your avatar’s power bar updates throughout your turn to show you how much power you have remaining. If you are trying to play a card and can’t, check the power bar – you might not have enough power to p lay it. Your power is fully restored during your draw phase. Unspent power doesn’t accumulate from one turn to the next. However, any power you have left over at the end of the turn can be used to play cards during other player’s turns. Hinting To aid you in playing cards, a ashing border appears around any cards in your hand that you have suf cient power to pay for. Playing cards to the playmat Ability cards are played to the ability area at the right of your avatar. Item cards are played to the item area at the left of your avatar. Unit cards are played to the quest of your choice. If you play a unit from your hand by double-clicking it, you will then need to click on a quest to indicate where you’d like to play that unit. Ability limit You can have only three abilities on the playmat at a time. Normally, abilities are applied during your Quest Phase and this doesn’t become a problem. Many abilities that don’t have levels provide a method to destroy themselves. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 23 Uing Activated Action Some of your cards have effects that are not continuous, but instead require you to specically “activate” them. Each of these actions has a symbol in its game text, and begins with a keyword telling you when you may use it. Activated actions you can use in your Main Phase begin with the Main Phase ( ) icon. The next part of the action, the part that appears before the symbol, is the cost you must pay to perform it. Sometimes it’s a power cost, but often other requirements are specied, such as exerting the card that has the action. Within the limits of paying these costs, you may perform an activated action any number of times during a single turn. The last part of the action, the part that appears after the symbol, is the effect of using that action. You can’t use an activated action if you can’t complete any part of its effect. For example, if the effect of an activated action is to “destroy an exerted enemy item,” you can’t use the action unless there is an exerted enemy item for you to destroy. If you can’t carry out the full effects of an activated action, but can still perform some portion of it, you may still use that effect. For example, if the effect of an activated action is to “deal 2 damage to an enemy unit combatant,” you may still use the action even if the only enemy unit combatant available has only 1 health remaining. To use an activated action, right-click on the card that has it, then select the top icon in the radial button menu. If the icon is dimmed, then you are not eligible to use the action – you might not be able to pay the cost or perform its effects, or it might not be the appropriate phase for you to use it. Often, you can double-click a card and it will use the action you’re looking for. Your cursor changes to show what kind of action you’ll get when you double-click. Raiding During your Main Phase, you may use all your ready un its at a quest to begin cobat (explained later). This attack is called a raid. To begin a raid, click the raid button on the quest you want to raid from. If your opponent has one or more units at the quest you are raiding from, the combat you begin is against those units. However, if your opponent has no units at the quest you are raiding from, the combat you begin is against his avatar. You may raid once each turn from each of the two quests. All your units at one quest participate in the raid together. Ending Your main Phae When you click DONE to end your Main Phase, you have to meet the hand limit. If you have more than seven cards in your hand, you must select and discard cards one at a time until only seven remain. COmBAT Avatars and units can engage in combat in several ways described earlier: during an attempt at a quest, by raiding with your units, or as the result of a card effect. Each unit and avatar involved becomes a cobatant for the duration of the combat. The player who causes the combat, and his combatant(s) involved, are the attackers. A large combat icon with the “attack lightsaber” appears on his side of the quest meter, indicating his total attack in the combat. By default, this number begins at 0. The opponent, and his combatant(s) involved, are the defenders. A large combat icon with the “defense shield” appears on his side of the q uest meter, indicating his total defene in the combat. By default, this number begins at 0. It is Jason’s Quest Phase. He chooses to attempt a quest where his opponent, Tyler, has three units. His avatar begins combat with those units. Jason is the attacker, while Tyler is the defender. Jason’s total attack starts at 0. Tyler’s total defense also begins at 0. There are four stages of combat, which occur in order:
- Perfor Cobat Action
- Deterine the Winner
- Exert a Card for Daage Bonu
- Take Daage A new combat can’t begin while one is already in progress. Cobat Action Both players have the chance to perform actions during the combat, alternating back and forth, beginning with the attacker. When it is your chance to act, you may either perform one action, or “pass.” If you pass, you may still choose to perform an action after your opponent’s next action. However, if both players pass consecutively, this stage of the combat ends and you p roceed to Deterine the Winner. The possible combat actions are: • Exerting to add to total attack or total defense. • Using an activated action on one of your cards that begins with the icon (if you’re attacking) or the icon (if you’re defending). • Playing a tactic card from your hand. You may perform any or all of these actions, any number of times. You may press F5 as a keyboard shortcut when it is your turn to pass. If you are waiting for your opponent to act, but know in advance that you want to pass your next combat action, you may press F6 to queue that pass in advance. Pressing F7 will undo this “pre-pass.” You may use the Uer Interface Preference to toggle whether the computer will pass for you automatically whenever you have no combat action available to take. Exerting to Add to Total Attack or Total Defense When you are attacking, you may exert any of your combatants to add its attack to your total attack. If your avatar is a combatant, then you also have the option of exerting any of your item cards to add its attack to your total attack. You can double-click or use the radial buttons to exert for attack, when you are attacking. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 24 When you are defending, you may exert any of your combatants to add its defense to your total defense. If your avatar is a combatant, then you also have the option of exerting any of your ability cards to add its defense to your total defense. You can doub le-click or use the radial buttons to exert for defense, when you are defending. As the attacker, Jason has the rst chance to take a combat action. He has a ready weapon item on his avatar, and exerts it now to add its attack of 2 to his total attack. Two of Tyler’s three units are already exerted, but one is not. He decides to exert it now, adding its 2 defense to his total defense. Jason now has 2 total attack, while Tyler has 2 total defense. Using Activated Actions Some of the items, abilities, and units you play have activated actions that can be used during combat. Like the activated actions you can use in your Main Phase, they have a symbol in their game text, separating cost and effect. In this case, however, eligible actions begin with the icon (if you’re attacking) or the icon (if you’re defending). You can’t use Main Phase (marked with the icon) actions during combat, even if the combat is taking place during your Main Phase. You can’t use an activated action on a unit or avatar that is not a combatant. You can only use activated actions on item and ability cards if your avatar is a combatant. Playing a Tactic Tactic cards can be played only during combat. They often have effects that improve your total attack or total defense in combat, though some have other effects. To play a tactic, double-click it in your hand when it is your turn to perform a combat action. Tactics can only be played under specic conditions. Like activated actions, eligible tactics use the icon (if you’re attacking) or the icon (if you’re defending). Many tactics have both these icons. If you meet all the requirements for playing a tactic, a hinted border will appear around it. The effects of a tactic are immediate, and last only until the end of the combat. You’ll see an oversized version of any tactic that’s played appear on the screen. Then that tactic is discarded. Deterine the Winner Once both players have passed consecutively on the opportunity to perform a combat action, it is time to determine the winner. The player that has the largest total on his side of the combat wins. If the players have the same total, then it’s an undecided struggle and both will suffer the consequences. Compare the total attack to the total defense. • If the total attack is higher, the attacker wins the combat. • If the total defense is higher, the defender wins the combat. • If the total attack and the total defense are equal, there is a tie (no winner and no loser). Exert a Card for Daage Bonu The winner of a combat always deals 1 base damage to the losing player. (When there is a tie, both players deal 1 base damage to their opponent.) In this stage of combat, however, players may add to that damage before it is dealt with daage bonue. A player dealing damage (the winner, or both players in case of a tie) may exert exactly one combatant to add its damage bonus to the d amage being dealt to his opponent. If his combatant was his avatar, he may instead exert exactly one item card to add its damage bonus. Take Daage Once a player has chosen either to pass or to add to the damage he is dealing, that player’s opponent must take that damage. The player suffering the damage distributes the damage as he chooses among one or more of his combatants. The red bar at the left of each unit and avatar image in the play area shows the amount of damage that unit or avatar has sustained. When such a card is played for the rst time, this bar is full and equal to the card’s health. Each point of damage dealt to it reduces the bar by 1. A unit or avatar is destroyed when it is dealt damage equal to its health (either all in one combat, or resulting from multiple combats). A player taking damage can’t assign damage to any one combatant beyond what it takes to destroy that combatant. Jason has a weapon item on his avatar, and exerts it now to add its +2 damage bonus to the 1 damage he automatically deals. Tyler must now apply the 3 damage. He chooses to apply 2 points of it to one of his units, destroying it. He applies the third point to a second unit, and doesn’t damage his third unit at all. The combat is now over, and Jason continues with his Quest Phase. DECK BUILDING When you construct your own play deck for Star Wars Galaxies™ Trading Card Game, there are three parts for you to build, using the Deck Builder. Avatar Choose one avatar card. Each avatar has an archetype, and you can’t include cards in your quest pile or deck that have an archetype unless they match the archetype of your avatar. (Generic cards don’t have an archetype.) Quet Pile Choose four quest cards, one of each level (2, 4, 5, and 6). If your quests have an archetype, that must match your avatar’s archetype. (Generic quests are usable by all avatars.) Deck Your deck must have at least 50 cards (there is no maximum size). You can’t have more than fou r copies of a single card title in your deck. Your deck can’t contain any avatar or quest cards. If the abilities, items, and tactics in your deck have an archetype, that must match your avatar’s archetype. (Generic cards are usable by all avatars.) For example, if you choose a Jedi avatar, you can put Jedi quests or generic quests in your quest pile, and you can put Jedi cards or generic cards in your deck. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 25 mULTIPLAYER GAmEs A multiplayer game is a game that has more than two players. There are a few special concepts that are unique to multiplayer games. Several different formats are provided. • Tea (2 versus 2) • Four-an Heroic Encounter (4 versus 1) mini-map Normally, the playmat scrolls to the location of the action in a multiplayer game. A mini-map is provided that shows the locations of the players, identied by their archetype icons. A highlight shows you which player is currently performing an action. You can click any of the quest locations or one of those player icons to recenter your view. Tooltips are also provided with names of the players. A small version of each player’s power and health bars are available as well. Zooing Your mouse wheel zooms in and out of a multiplayer game. Roll forward to zoom in and focus on the action, or roll backward to zoom out and see the whole playmat. Teaate The game is always a two-sided contest, and the players on your side are called your teammates. You can play cards and use effects that help friendly units (units that belong to other players on your team), but actions during combat may be performed only by the attacking and defending commanders (see below). Quet There are always three quests in play in a multiplayer game. In any fourplayer game, the fourth player’s level 2 quest is removed from the game, and that player draws an extra card for h is hand. Normally, you’ll only be able to play units to two of the three available quest locations. These two quests are the ones you have in reach. Sometimes, when one of your teammates has his avatar destroyed, your reach is extended to cover one of his quests. In a 4-versus-1 game, the players to the f ar left and right begin the game with only one quest in reach. The quest meter only has four gems to mark completion, even in a multiplayer game in which sometimes a player can complete more than four quests. Power You receive power each turn based on the quests completed at the locations that are in reach for you. (Your reach might change when one of your teammates is destroyed.) Drawing Card Each player on a team that has more than one player draws two cards in the draw phase, just like normal rules. In heroic encounters where a side has only one player, that player draws one card plus one more for each player on the other team. Coander Sometimes you’ll be able to attack or defend with units that belong to one of your teammates. When that happens, you’ll become the commander of those units and be able to use their activated actions or play tactics for them during combat. You can never become the commander of another player’s avatar. While you are the commander of a teammate’s unit, “you” and “your” in that card’s game text refers to you, rather than that card’s owner. For example, Jedi Padawan says, “This unit gets +1 attack for each of your abilities.” Your teammate, the owner of this card, has two abilities. You have three. When you become the commander of this unit, it gets +3 attack. Each combat, whether it involves avatars or units, is a two-sided event and one player makes all the decisions for one side. Attacking Raid Commander You become the commander of any of your teammates’ units at a quest when you begin a raid there during your turn. If there are no opposing units at that quest, the raiding units you command may attack any avatar within reach of that quest. If there is more than one such avatar, you may choose which to attack. Defending Raid Commander When an opponent is attacking a raid location (either a raid with opposing units or questing by an opposing avatar) and there are units defending there that belong to more than one player, the player who has the most units defending will be the commander (even if that player doesn’t have that quest location in reach). If there is a tie for which player has the most defending units there, the attacking player decides who defends. Winning the Gae The conditions for victory are the same in a multiplayer game as for a 1- versus-1 game. There is one way for you to win the game and two ways to lose: • Win the game by completing a quest when your quest pile is epty. (Normally, when you complete your fourth quest, you win.) • Lose the game when your avatar is destroyed. (Your team wins the game when the last opposing avatar is destroyed. If your avatar is destroyed, your teammates continue playing.) • Lose the game when your deck runs out of cards. (If at any time you need to draw a card and have none remaining, you lose the game. Your teammates continue p laying.) Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 26 The completion of quests is tracked separately for each player on a team, so only one player on a team needs to complete a quest with his quest pile empty for that team to win. For example, if two teammates have each completed two quests, they don’t win the game yet. Some special scenarios and heroic encounters will not allow these victory or loss conditions, and they will provide other ways to win. Leaving the Gae When a player leaves a game (for example, when that player’s avatar is destroyed or when he can’t reconnect), all of that player’s cards and tokens are destroyed except that any quests that player has in play remain in play. single-Player Tea (the “bo”) In heroic encounters, one team has only one player. This “boss” begins the game with all quests in reach and therefore more power as quests are completed. Additionally, the boss starts with two power plus one per opponent rather than the standard 3 power. The boss draws more cards in each of his draw phases, equal to one plus one additional for each opponent (in a Four-man Heroic Encounter, the boss draws ve cards each turn). The boss can’t lose the game by running out of cards in his deck – he reshufes his discard pile to make a new deck. GLOssARY ability Ability cards are shufed into your deck and played from your hand. They belong to your avatar. Abilities provide defense and create level tokens. agility Whenever an opposing unit is played to the quest of a unit that has this keyword, the unit that has agility is readied. activated action Any action with an arrow in its game text requires you to ‘activate’ it to use it. The icon before the action tells you when to use it. The cost of that action is before the arrow, and its effect comes after. abuh You can play your unit that has this keyword as a combat action. It joins the combat. apply When you apply an ability to a quest, a number of level tokens equal to that ability’s level are created at that quest. Then the ability is destroyed. You can’t apply an ability that doesn’t have a level. archetype Any cards in your play deck that have an archetype must match the archetype of your avatar. attack You can exert your card that has an attack attribute to add that to your total when you’re attacking in combat. attacking Some actions can only be used when you are attacking in combat. These are marked in game text with the icon. attribute Attributes on a card (attack, defense, and damage bonus) don’t do anything until that card is exerted to use them. As a combat action, you can exert a card to add one of its attributes. avatar Each player brings one avatar card. When you enter the game, your avatar is played to the playmat. If you destroy your opponent’s avatar, you win the game! bo A boss starts with 2 power plus 1 for each opponent and, in his draw phase, draws 1 card plus 1 for each opponent. When his deck is empty he doesn’t lose the game and reshufes his discard pile to form a new deck. chat log The chat log provides a running summary of all the actions in the game. Below this is a line where you can type comments to your o pponent. cobat opponent The player who is opposing you du ring a combat is your combat opponent. cobatant When combat begins, every unit or avatar involved in that combat is a combatant until the combat ends. coander A player who is making decisions for one side of a combat in a multiplayer game is called a commander. cot The cost of a card is in a circle in its upper-left corner. You pay costs using your power. daage Damage reduces the current health of a card. When an avatar or u nit loses its last remaining point of health, that card is destroyed. The damage dealt by an effect to a unit or avatar may not be the same as the damage taken by that unit or avatar. Some effects are triggered by damage being dealt, and others are triggered by damage being taken. These are often the same, but not always. For example: Sith Shadow Executioner says, “Whenever a unit takes damage during combat, if this unit was played this turn, destroy that unit.” If a unit is dealt 1 damage but that unit has a +1 shield, it is not destroyed because the unit actually took no damage. daage bonu You can exert one of your cards that has a damage bonus attribute to add that to the total damage you’ll deal in combat. deck Each player brings a deck of at least 50 cards (there is no maximum size). Your deck has your item, ability, tactic and unit cards. When you enter the game, your deck is shufed. defending Some actions can only be used when you are defending in combat. These are marked in game text with the icon. defene You can exert your card that has a defense attribute to add that to your total when you’re defending in combat. detroy When your card is destroyed, it’s taken from the playmat and put into your discard pile. Cards in your hand can’t be destroyed. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 27 dicard When your card is discarded, it’s taken from your hand and put into your discard pile. Cards on the playmat can’t be discarded. dicard pile When cards on the playmat are destroyed or cards in your hand are discarded, they’re placed in your discard pile. draw phae During your Draw Phase, two cards are taken from the top of your deck and placed into your hand. durable Your unit that has this keyword can’t leave p lay unless it has 0 health. eluive This unit can’t be affected by other cards. entangleent An ability that has this keyword is played exerted, under an opponent’s control. evaion Whenever combat begins involving one or more o f your combatants that have evasion, you get +1 total defense. exert To use the attribute on a card, you have to exert that card. The card becomes dimmed on the playmat. Only a ready card can be exerted. expertie At the end of your turn, your unit that has this keyword permanently gets +1 attack and +1 defense. for each When an effect counts other cards with the phrase “for each,” only cards on the playmat are counted. Cards in a hand, discard pile, or deck are not counted by these effects. friendly Cards that belong to you, or to other players on your team, are friendly cards. gae text Appearing in the box below a card’s image, game text describes the actions you can perform with that card and the effects they will have. When one card’s game text says that you “can” do something and another card says you “can’t,” the latter takes precedence. generic A generic card can be added to any play deck. hand You draw cards from your deck to make your hand. Only you can see the cards in your hand. Your hand limit is seven, and if you have more cards than that in your hand at the end of your turn, you must discard down to seven. health Your avatar and your units have health represented by a health bar, which shows how many times that card can take damage before it’s destroyed. heroic encounter A heroic encounter is a kind of multiplayer game in which one side has a single-player team. That single player is a computer AI opponent. intel Whenever you play another card that costs 4 or more, your card that has Intel loses that keyword and you gain 1 power. Also, some game texts allow you to remove Intel at other times to pay costs and produce effects. invulnerable A unit or avatar that has this keyword can’t take damage of any kind. ite Item cards are shufed into your deck and played from your hand. They belong to your avatar. Items include armor and weapons to help you in combat. joining cobat When a card “joins” a combat, that combat has already begun. That card doesn’t trigger game text that has phrases such as “begins defending,” “begins attacking,” or “combat begins involving” it. level Quest cards and most ability cards have levels. The level of a quest determines how hard it is to complete it. The level of an ability determines how many level tokens it creates when you apply it. level token When an ability is applied to a quest, a number of level tokens are created at that quest equal to the level of that ability. link Linking one card to another allows for an ongoing effect that lasts until either card leaves play. ain phae Some actions can only be used when you are in your Main Phase. These are marked in game text with the icon. operative When your avatar begins combat against another avatar, if your unit that has this keyword is ready, it joins the combat. oppoing An oppoing card is one of your op ponent’s cards. A card that refers to an “opposing unit” means one of your opponent’s units. peranently A card changed by an effect that uses the word “permanently” keeps its change even if the card that affected it leaves play. A card changed by an effect that uses the word “permanently” loses its change when that card itself leaves play. For example: Rebel High General says, “At the end of your turn, all your other units at this unit’s quest permanently get +1 attack and +1 defense.” A Rebel Heavy Trooper at the same quest (2 attack and 2 defense) becomes 3 attack and 3 defense at the end of your turn. When the High General is destroyed during your opponent’s turn, the Heavy Trooper remains at 3 attack and 3 defense. During your turn, the Heavy Trooper is destroyed. When it leaves play, the Heavy Trooper loses its extra attack and defense. phae eter Located at the left of the playmat, the phase meter lights up to show what phase the player taking his turn is in. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 28 pin When a card that has this keyword becomes exerted, deal 1 d amage to it, then remove the pin keyword from it. Whenever a player completes a quest, he removes the pin keyword from all his cards. play deck Your play deck includes at least 55 cards. Included in this total are one avatar card, a quest pile with four quests, and a deck with at least 50 cards (there is no maximum size). playat The playmat is the area covering most of your screen where cards are played from your hand. power Each turn, you receive power to use to play cards. The base power received by a player on any turn is 3. When a player completes a quest, he gains 1 power. Your avatar has a power bar to show how much power you have remaining. precie Whenever your opponent is about to assign damage from combat involving your card that has this keyword, you assign that damage instead. propt The prompt window asks you for input during the game to complete the current action. Another window appears next to your opponent’s avatar when he’s completing an action. quet A quest is like a mission that takes several steps for your avatar to complete. Quest cards are played automatically from your qu est pile. When you complete a quest and your quest pile is empty, you win the game! quet eter In the center of the playmat, the quest meter keeps track of how many quests each player has completed. quet phae During your Quest Phase, you must attempt a quest if you have one or more ready abilities on the playmat. quet pile Each player brings a quest pile of four quest cards. When you enter the game, the lowest-level quest from both players’ quest piles are played to the playmat. raid Any of your ready units can begin a raid. When you raid from a quest, all ready units on your side join it. You’ll attack any opposing units at the same quest but if there are none, you’ll attack your opponent’s avatar. Some game text allows you to raid a “second time” from on e of your quests. This text raises the number of times you’re allowed to raid from that quest during that turn from on e to two. You may never raid more than twice each turn from a quest, no matter how many such cards you play. ready To ready an exerted card is to make it able to be exerted again. Only an exerted card can be readied. ready phae During your Ready Phase, every one of your exerted cards on the playmat becomes ready. Only an exerted card can be r eadied. reinforceent A card that has this keyword costs -1 power to play on turn 8 or later. retriction You can only have one card for each restriction on the playmat. If you play another, the rst is destroyed, and you draw a card to replace it. earch When you search your deck for a card, reveal it, and then shufe your deck. econdary When a card that has this keyword leaves play, remove it from the game. entry Whenever your avatar is attacked, if your unit that has this keyword is ready, it joins the combat. While you have one or more units that have the Sentry keyword, an icon appears on your avatar to show your opponent how many you have. hield Some card effects provide shields for units or avatars, that have one or more points. When a unit or avatar that has a shield would be dealt a point of damage, it loses a point from its shield instead. uggle When you apply an ability that has this keyword at a quest, a copy of the card named in the text that follows the keyword is created in your hand. For example, the ability Counterfeit Credits says, “Smuggle: Credit Chip.” When you apply this ability, a copy of the card “Credit Chip” is created in your hand. trikethrough Whenever combat begins involving one or more of your combatants that have strikethrough, you get +1 total attack. tactic Tactic cards are shufed into your deck and played from your hand. They provide surprise effects, and can be played only during combat. After a tactic has its effect, it’s placed in your discard pile. target When one card targets another, that allows for an ongoing effect that lasts until either card leaves play. Often, the game text of the targeting card describes a benet provided when the targeted card is destroyed. The target gets marked with an icon. When a card is targeted, you can mouse over that card or the card that targets it to see a link icon appear on the other card. tietap Sometimes the order in which cards are played affects the order in which events happen. A single game event trigger can result in two or more events “trying to happen” at the same time. When this occurs, the game processes these events in timestamp order. The event triggered by the card that was played rst (with the “oldest timestamp”) takes effect before the card that was played second, and so o n. total attack When combat begins, your total attack starts at zero. Each time you exert a card for attack, you add that card’s attack attribute to your total attack. That’s what determines whether you win, lose, or tie in combat. Once your card has exerted to add its attack attribute to your total attack, that effect remains even if that card is later destroyed in the same combat. Star Wars Galaxie™ Trading Card Gae 29 total daage When combat begins, your total damage starts at 1. When you tie or win a combat, you can exert one of your cards to add to your total damage. total defene When combat begins, your total defense starts at zero. Each time you exert a card for defense, you add that card’s defense attribute to your total defense. That’s what determines whether you win, lose, or tie in combat. Once your card has exerted to add its defense attribute to your total defense, that effect remains even if that card is later destroyed in the same combat. trait A trait is a label on a card that can be referred to by the game text of other cards. unique You can’t play another card that has the same title as your card on the playmat that has the unique keyword. unit Unit cards are shufed into your deck and played from your hand. They represent NPCs and creatures that you’ve inspired to follow you. They are played to one of the two quests on the playmat. Units can raid to attack your opponent’s units and avatar. veratile Whenever you place any number of level tokens at the qu est of your unit that has this keyword, place an equal number of tokens on that unit. withdraw When all of the combatants on one side o f a combat withdraw, that combat ends. There is no winner or loser and no damage is dealt.
