Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition is the second edition of the miniature war game designed by Jay Little and produced by Fantasy Flight Games that was first announced on May 1, 2018, with the first release on September 13 of the same year. On November 16, 2020, Atomic Mass Games (another subsidiary of Asmodee) announced that it would be responsible for X-wing and its two sister games, Legion and Armada.
The games features tactical ship-to-ship dogfighting between various factions and starfighters set in the fictional Star Wars universe. The game is played in a series of rounds wherein both players set maneuvers for each of their ships in the battle area without knowledge of the opponent's maneuvers. The game is over when one player's fleet is entirely destroyed, or the timer runs out. The second edition of the game is compatible with the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures first edition ship models via the conversion kits made for each of the 5 factions (First Order and Resistance are separate factions in Second Edition), however, rules, tokens, and damage cards have all been changed, meaning that you will still need to buy a Second Edition Core Set or purchase each of these components individually.
There are also Epic rules for playing more scenario based games that can involve more than 2 players and immerse your combat into the Star Wars universe.
Publisher's Description of the Core Set: "Enter the next era of interstellar combat in the Star Wars galaxy! In X-Wing: Second Edition, you assemble a squadron of iconic starfighters from across the Star Wars saga and engage in fast-paced, high-stakes space combat with iconic pilots such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
With refined gameplay that focuses on the physical act of flying starships, X-Wing Second Edition lets you create your own Star Wars space battles right on your tabletop. Intuitive mechanics create the tense atmosphere of a firefight while beautifully pre-painted miniatures draw you deeper into the action. Man your ships and enter the fray!"[2]
Additional Game Description: "Featuring stunningly detailed and painted miniatures, X-Wing recreates exciting Star Wars space battles from small engagements of only a couple of crafts, to large conflicts where multiple squadrons clash. Select and equip your ships, pick your crew, plan your attack, and complete your mission!
Fast and visceral, X-Wing puts you in the middle of fierce Star Wars firefights. Use each craft’s unique maneuver dial to secretly plot its movement action for each turn. After each player has locked in his movement decisions, the dials are revealed and ships are moved. Pepper the enemy with blaster fire as you rush into the dogfight, or move into combat range slowly, attaining deadly target locks before you launch a devastating attack. No matter your plan of attack, you’ll be in total control throughout the tense action!"
The X-Wing Second Edition Core Set contains two TIE/ln fighter miniatures and one T-65 X-wing miniature, along with all of the maneuver templates, dials, cards, dice, and rules that you need to play the game.
Ship tokens are dual-sided and have the following front/back combinations:

The Core Set also includes the quick start guide, rulebook, 3 small ship bases, 6 standard miniature pegs, 3 movement dial pegs, the T-65 X-Wing Movement Dial, 2 TIE/ln Fighter Movement Dials, a damage deck of 33 cards, a range ruler, 11 maneuver templates, 3 defense dice, 3 attack dice, 2 T-65 X-Wing quick build Cards, 2 TIE/ln Fighter quick build cards, and the 3 pre-assembled, pre-painted miniatures.
There are a total of 7 playable factions in the Second Edition of the game. Each faction is based on a side of the galaxy-wide conflicts set forth by the Skywalker Saga movies with the 7th faction being iconic characters who are unaligned across all 3 eras of conflict. While the core set features only two of the possible 7 playable factions –– the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire –– the others are sold in expansion packs, or can be carried over from the first edition of the game using the aforementioned conversion kits.
