Star Wars: Unlimited lead designer Danny Schaefer says Fantasy Flight Games wants to keep the two-year-old trading-card game approachable as it grows, avoiding the complexity and high entry costs that can deter newcomers to Magic: The Gathering. He argues that accessibility is central to Unlimited’s design, particularly if it is intended to continue indefinitely.

Unlimited launched in 2024 and has released eight card sets, with a ninth, Homeworlds, due on 9 October. Schaefer said card rotation should help new players avoid being excluded from important, out-of-print cards, while the team aims to prevent new mechanics from making the game excessively complicated; however, the article notes it remains uncertain whether this approach can be sustained over decades.
