I know the game has enough figures to play a game, but should you buy additional figures when you buy this as well for more options?

Additional models allow you to change up the tactics of your game. Every expansion pack has cards that can be used with any other model so long as the correct upgrade slots are available for that card (an example is that a X-wing cannot have Missiles (only Torpedoes) so it cannot equip Proton Rockets (A missile upgrade from the Z-95 Expansion) but it can fit the Munitions Failsafe (you do not discard a Missile or Torpedo card on a miss) as that card is more or less a general upgrade card. Each Expansion also comes with characters that can change things up as well.

If you have the funds and the time I would absolutely pick up at least a couple of more additions. At least an advanced TIE fighter and possibly an E-wing or even a B-wing. I would also recommend getting more TIE fighters to use as a swarm.

I made more ships out of lego's, if you have them, then you don't really have to buy another set.

The game plays well in its own. Try a few games just using the core rules. If you find you like it, you can purchase more ships later. A second core set is a good place to start, since it gives you three more ships and extra dice (which are a necessity) for fairly cheap.

Most people say get two of the starter set. I would agree with that. The single X-Wing does holds up alright against the 2 TIE Fighters, but a few more ships in the battle would be nice.

I would buy the game with the original number of tiles that the game came with (144) as invented by Abraham Nathanson. The only advantage that I can think of for more would be to replace any that might get lost or if playing with a large group. The game plays well at a fast pace so I don't mind shorter rounds.

there so many answers to that question and yes on all of them, first you get the extra ships and its always fun to have more ships then the dice, some of the expansion cards you get to roll 4 and 5 dice and the one game only gives you 3 then there is the measuring sticks , there never seems to be enough of them so 2 sets is great one for each player and so on and on, and remember to just have fun play on....

You need the original game first. The expansion set is just to add on more cards to your base set.

Yes multiple characters with games and audio books. Also you can download a lot online at decent prices

I've played it as a 2, 3, and 4 player game. In my opinion, it works better with an even number of players. You have to modify the player's starting areas to accommodate multiple players, but other than that, it works well with 3-4 players. You will need more more of the ships than just the 3 that comes in the starter box set however.

Yes you will have to buy a second copy for a second account. You will need another serial number is the reason. There is a 14 day free trial that just came out she can use to try the game for free as well.

I would personally recommend multiple sets. My three will sometimes play nicely together with them but with the size of them there really not an easy way for more than 3 kids to even watch the play easily. Most of the games are a little complicated for a 2 year old but I think they are easily for 4-adult. I love some of the games!!

Yes. It can be played with as many players as there are ships. For ease of play and speed it is probably best if the number of players do not exceed 4 but as I said the format allows for expansion. You could have ten players with each one running a ship of their own. Great game system. We play it at the store I manage all the time.

I'd say to buy them all, either get them all at once or as you start to remember certain cards which would diminish the fun. One pack doesn't stand out as anything special but the game itself it a good time by all.

Buying a second set you will end up with some pieces you don't use - a second damage deck and the second set of maneuver templates for example (unless you intend on playing both sides of a match from your own materials). But there are pieces you will use - the TIE's for example, will save you have to buy two of the handful of TIE expansions you'd want to pick up if playing a TIE swarm. The X-Wing will serve as a rookie to bulk out a Rebel Squad. The dice are essential - many attacks calling for four die, or many defenses adding to the die you need - and the three of each in a single box are simply not enough. I think it's worth the outlay.

Yes, Amazon has had several waves of this figure already and will have more. They also sell it at 19.99, so there is no need to pay a higher price.

Really it's just preference: How many pieces, size, design, etc. One of the biggest deciding factors for me is what minifigures the set comes with. Also you might want to check when the set gets retired. If it gets retired soon it will increase in price/value/availability pretty quickly afterwards. Also another big thing is if a set is currently kn sale. You can save a lot and get more Lego if you pay attention to sales. I hope this helped you out!

it is a collection of miniatures that are part of a minis card game. You do not have to buy any other sets. you can play with others with just this set. You can also divide the set in half and play with a friend.

You can use the figures, but you have to buy the new game for your sister. All the characters are forward compatible.

It is meant to be a fast-paced game and I think more than 5 would be a detriment. You would definitely need to supplement the chips with something so that you don't run out. I would suggest buying two sets if you think you will be playing with more than 5 on a regular basis. But as a best option, I would limit the number to 5 as I think the game would run long and possibly become boring with more than 5.

From what I've read, I don't believe you can add new games. The only supported game is the one that comes preloaded, which is a tile puzzle game where you move the tiles around to complete the puzzle.
