Over the past few weeks, I have been playing Star Wars: Unlimited a lot, and one of the common factors across all my games is that I’m using a plethora of GameGenic products day-in and day-out, and all of them are must haves for those looking to invest in this game. From playmats to boxes, here is a quick review of all the products GameGenic was nice enough to send to us to review!
Acrylic Tokens
Unlike other Trading Card Games, Star Wars: Unlimited uses a lot of different tokens and cards to represent shields, damage, improvements, priority and more.
