Card Type

Card types in Star Wars CCG are shown by the icon in the upper left-hand corner of each card. Sites, systems and sectors have no upper-left icon and share the card type "location".^[1] The Rulebook 2.0 icon guide lists the card types of the printed game.^[2]

Locations lay out on the table as a game board. Characters, vehicles and starships are the main game pieces and move from location to location. Weapons, devices and effects give them extra capabilities, and Interrupts are played at various times and then discarded.^[2]
