On to the play review:
This is the game that starts it all. There is another, more recent core set, based on the ships and characters from "The Force Awakens." This one is just fine to get started playing X-wing miniatures. Everything you need is included in this box. So you can conceivably tell yourself that if you don't like it, then you're only out $40, and if you do like it, that's all you need to spend to have a good time. The box is an incredible value, and can suffice as its own expansion pack if you want to supplement your X-wing or Tie Fighter squadrons. There are pilots, upgrade cards, and droids available in the single X-wing and Tie Fighter packs that do not come in the base set, and vice versa, however.
The box comes with: Maneuver templates, range ruler, attack dice, defense dice, Determination and Marksmanship elite pilot talent cards, Proton Torpedo upgrade card, two astromech upgrade cards for your X-wing (R2-D2 and R2-F2), asteroid tokens, four X-wing pilots, six Tie Fighter Pilots, one X-wing miniature, two Tie Fighter miniatures, all the necessary cardboard tokens needed to play, a basic and full rulebook, a book with three mission scenarios for the three included ships, and a deck of damage cards (note: the damage deck in the newer Force Awaken core set is different, and is the one currently used by the competitive community. The one in this set is just fine, however, and will not stop you from enjoying a good game of X-wing. It's just not the one used in tournaments and such.)
Base set boxes like this can often be far more expensive. For the price and for the quality of the gameplay, this is one of the best miniature gaming sets out there.
Gameplay is easy to pick up with the basic rulebook, but where the game really becomes fun is when you add asteroids and upgrades. There is only so much you can do with the included miniatures, however, and you can't come close to reaching the 100 points that are used in a standard game. In some ways, it is actually harder to play a game with just one X-Wing and two Tie Fighters on a 3'x3' play area (standard size) than with full 100-point squads. You may want to consider playing on just a 2'x2' area if you're just playing with the core set. That will be up to your gaming group. Or, once you discover how much fun the game is, gradually add some expansion packs to round out your squad. I am posting reviews of each one of the expansions. The included missions in this set add a bit of depth, but we have found them to be a bit unbalanced and badly tested overall, and we hardly use the missions included in this set or the expansions. That's all I will say about missions throughout this product line.
Again, everything you need to play the game is included in this box, and it is easy to learn, and fun. A game using just this set can last up to an hour, but that is very rare. However, once you start playing with 100-point squads, you'll find that, if you don't use a timer (one hour is standard, after which points are counted), it can take as long as two hours to achieve absolute victory (no enemies left on the board). One of the more frustrating things about this game is set-up and breakdown. It takes quite a bit of time to get your miniatures, all of your pilot and upgrade cards, and the starfield set up. It takes just as much time to break everything down once the game is done. Count on adding at least half an hour to the time spent actually playing.
Be warned: this game is highly addictive, and can be a gateway into spending hundreds of dollars on expansions. Even if you are determined to stick to one faction (Empire, Scum, or Rebels), you will find that there are upgrade cards available only through one particular expansion or another, forcing you to buy it whether you want the actual ship or not.
Another frustration is that Fantasy Flight does not adequately playtest their expansions. Some go to the market only for players to discover that they are massively overpowered, or absolutely useless in competition. Fantasy Flight then either changes the rules to nerf the ship (say, for example, the Tie Phantom), or releases an expensive expansion with additional upgrades that are basically a patch (such as for the Tie Defender).
These issues do not stop the base set from being a fun introduction to X-Wing Miniatures. It is probably my favorite game.
Now I'll be the first to admit the core set isn't much fun by itself, however building your squadrons to your tastes is the strongest component of the game. There are literally hundreds of squadron lists on the internet with their own types of play and strategy. Before you get the idea that this is some money grubbing scheme from the manufacturer this is one of the cheapest tabletop game to get into, powerful tournament lists can be had for under a hundred dollars including the core set.
This game is rather young and there simply hasn't been time for many expansions to come out, only 12 ships are available at the moment with 6 new ones on the horizon. Everything in the game feels very balanced, a lot of thought and testing has gone into every facet of every ship and upgrade and so far there has been no power creep to speak of. Each ship also has a different feel to it and will lend themselves to drastically different strategies and combinations with the upgrades.
The physical models and the art on the cards is incredibly detailed and gorgeous to look at. The fiberboard templates and tokens are durable and will last many games even though there are third party acrylic alternatives.
Game-play itself boils down to planning movement, moving/actions, and attacking. You basically have to guess the other players movement options and even though the possible movements are limited there is just enough to make it strategic. Attacking is more or less chance although you have the ability to stack the odds in your favor. There are quite a few rules and it takes a game or two to get a good feel of them, I recommend reading the manual completely and playing a game or two then reading the manual again as some are quite subtle and the actual wording is very important. Young children might have some difficulty and the models themselves are fragile so I wouldn't recommend for anyone below 10 or so.
This is not the game for everyone but it should be fairly clear if you would like it or not, the bottom line is if you think you would enjoy this game get it because the makers did a great job making a fun, surprisingly deep, and growing game.
The game itself is great fun. Like all great games, simple to learn, difficult to master. The ships are inexpensive. I've played tons of other miniature games, from Battletech back in the late 80's to Warhammer/40k to... well plenty of games. This one is a great deal for the money. And the time. While I DO love painting minis, it takes time... these are ready to play. And speaking of time... you can play a game in an hour or so. I don't know about you, but my life is pretty busy, and squeezing in time for personal fun is important. I remember playing games of 40k for 4-6 hours. Good fun, but I just don't have the time for that anymore. Last weekend I played X-Wing... I spent about 3 hours and got 2 games in.
Back to expenses... just doing some quick math, I figure you could buy every ship for about $300. What a bargain. I have truly spent thousands of dollars on my Warhammer and WH40k armies over the years. And don't get me started on rule books... there's no need for that with X-Wing... the basic rules are included in the core set, and any ships that modify those rules include rulebooks with the ship.
Great fun, I plan to introduce my 8 year-old to the game... it can be as complicated or as simple as you need it to be.

Es un juego muy entretenido que bien puedes explorar toda su profundidad o jugar casual y rápidamente sin meterte mucho en la profundidad que tiene con los upgrades y demás y es fácil que alguien que nunca lo haya jugado aprenda.
Si solo lo quieres por las miniaturas vale la pena por el precio ya que incluye dos TIEs y un X-Wing.
Esta es la versión original y clásica que trae a los rebeldes y el imperio. Existe otra con la resistencia y la primera orden y próximamente la versión 2.0. Con cualquiera puedes jugar. Pero si quieres empezar tu colección y jugar a fondo te recomiendo esperar y comprar el nuevo core set 2.0.
Pilot list
X-Wing : Luke Skywalker (had to be!), Biggs Darklighter, Red Squadron pilot, Rookie pilot.
TIE Fighter : Mauler Mithel, Dark Curse, Night Beast, Black Squadron pilot x 2, Obsidian Squadron pilot x 2, Academy pilot x 2.
The details on each pilot card are repeated on a card that you fix to your ship base for identification. These are two sided so you’ll need to make sure you fit it correct side up. While the core ship values remain constant, each pilot has a different skill level and may be able to fit different upgrades, but each pilot and upgrade has its own point cost and if you are setting up a balanced fight, say with 50 points each team on the starter set, you may trade down on pilot skill to fit a certain weapon or instrument. I like this as it means that you have to work out what works best with each pilot to meet your objective (usually destroying all the opposition, but there are scenario games as an alternative).
There are 33 damage cards (taken as a result of being attacked and unable to avoid) plus 5 upgrade (equipment or skill) cards including R2-D2. While it’s not true of the starter set, as you buy additional ships you may find that some upgrades are only available to certain ships or to one side. This is sensible, as a bonus for having Luke in your squad would be stupid if ‘bought’ by the Empire player for example.
Setting up the fighters : the plastic pegs that go in to the bases and the bottom of the fighters only fit properly when the peg is lined up for the fighter to face forward in line with the moulded arrow in the base. The instructions suggest using two pegs on each ship, but I’ve just used one each so that I have some spares in case of breakages. Be careful not to break the top of the peg off when it is fixed into a ship as removing it could be difficult (if not impossible). I suggest that until you add more ships to your collection and need something like a DIY compartmentalised storage box for your collection, keep the plastic insert to keep your fighters protected.
The set comes with a ‘quick-start’ 4 side rules leaflet plus a more detailed 28 page rule book. Both are well printed with lots of pictures to help in understanding the rules. The usual battle area is 3’ x 3’ and you can even but battle mats at varying costs. As for getting started and developing your skills, practice at home trying different upgrades and tactics and watch tutorials and matches on You-Tube (search Star Wars X-Wing miniatures) – some of these are humorous but most that I’ve watched are very high quality recordings and informative. For a starter price around £26, I think you’ll get many years of fun and this is a good value starter set. A nice thing about it is that if you are buying for a teenager (14+ is the recommended age, but I think younger children will cope given that the losing world finalist in 2015 was only 14) then additional ships will make great birthday and Christmas (or other religious festival) presents.
我が家ではルールを簡略化して、6歳の息子と他の拡張パックもあわせて、ドッグファイトを楽しんでいます。造形もそこそこよいのでコレクションとして飾るのもよいかとおもいます。
ただし、購入の際には、メーカーホームページでの定価や米国での販売価格を調べ、適正な価格で出品されているかよく見極めてからの購入をおすすめします。
