After seeing a recent surge of interest in Epic Duels here and on the Wiki, I contacted Rob Daviau , the original creator of Star Wars Epic Duels, and requested an interview. He agreed, and we met in person at the NYC Toy Fair in February. This is the second part of our 10-minute conversation: Roman: I feel like that [Yoda] deck, …

Mostly some small things: Updated Snoke and Luke Grand Master. Added some HP to Jyn (then undid it), Cassian and Chirrut. Adjusted the Vassal X-Y coordinates of most of the Disney decks including Kylo Ren, General Hux and all the Rogue One decks; only Rey and Finn were unaffected. Now, all 10 of these decks …
**Spoilers ahead** But if you’re a fan of Star Wars, why haven’t you seen The Last Jedi yet? Anyways, I won’t give too much away, but there’s no discussion of Epic Duels without discussing the fate of some of the characters. As for the film, I’ll say I enjoyed it but it was missing something …
In designing some of these recent decks, I’ve noticed something about card combinations: A deck can’t rely upon them. It’s nice to have them, and having them should have big effects, nearly game-winning effects. However, you can’t design a deck where that’s their only real path to victory, unless it’s going to include 6 or …
Along with the 8 decks from the Disney movies, I updated 9 other decks with nice new card back art, which include the minor as well as the major character. The only exception is Jyn Erso, for whom I tried to merge some Commando minors into the art I’m using for the back, but the …
Four in-person 2v2 duels preceded by a rousing match of Slapshot. All four duels featured lightsaber wielders as major characters and in most cases, minor characters as well. Darth Plagueis & Apprentice Sidious and Sora Bulq defeated Master Obi-Wan & Jedi Knight Anakin and Saesee Tiin & Agen Kolar on Geonosis Arena Obi-Wan & Anakin aggressively …
Seriously, they’re fun. Try them out. Everyone has at least one trick he can play, and just the card names alone give them all a Rogue One feel to them with some fun quotes in there. Jyn has her commando deck that always has a chance, Cassian and K-2 are a stealthy, sneaky team, Chirrut …
Krennic and Chirrut & Baze defeated Jyn and Cassian & K-2SO, twice Neither Jyn nor K-2 could get much going either game, while Chirrut & Baze are actually a pretty tough duo, at least in this matchup. What’s also true is that of the 4, Krennic probably has the most staying power, followed by Chirrut …
Was thinking about minor hit points for personality minors, in relation to Poe Dameron in the Finn & Poe deck. I think about the original game, and while it actually gives guidance in terms of how many HP a personality minor should have, it breaks its own rules enough to leave open to interpretation. Then …
