![]() Ok, so it's cheap to buy, the core set is crammed with goodies, and now you want to know the answer to the most important question: does it play well? Yes, yes, yes! The core set is cheap to buy, especially when split amongst friends or a gaming club, and the ability to purchase individual ships (especially if you know the rules) is such good value for money, part of me feels that Fantasy Flight Games are cheating themselves out of any profits! I suspect a few purchases of the Millennium Falcon are on the horizon.Ĭonveniently, this leads me on to my next favourite line of argument: economics. X-Wing is astronomically, out of this universe, value for money. They can impulse buy and get straight into it.Īlready, friends of mine, who laugh at people like me for their 'geeky' miniature wargames hobby, are looking at X-wing and allowing nostalgia to get the better of them. One, you can crack open the box and launch straight into a game with the minimum of fuss, and two, the causal Star Wars fans, who love the models, but are reluctant to get bogged down in painting and gluing miniatures, will have no such worries. In an age of low attention spans, social media, and a plethora of Star Wars video games on the market, the inclusion of pre-painted ships is an absolute masterstroke from Fantasy Flight Games. ![]() Yes, all the ships come painted in their boxes, and only require the most basic assembly of their flight stands, to use them. Highly detailed, and most importantly, pre-painted. The ships, one X-Wing and two TIE fighters, look bloody marvellous. Sadly, they're not the Games Workshop whippy sticks, but they do the job. You get ships, you get dice, you get a ton of cards, a tutorial, a well laid out rulebook, tokens galore, and some range rulers. So, what's in the box? A more pertinent question would be what's not in the box? I've banged this drum many a time with regard to starter sets, yes I'm looking at you Warlord Games, but the X-Wing core set seems to buck the trend.
