Asmodee has taken a page out of the Pokemon playbook with its latest addition to the Star Wars: Unlimited TCG catalog. Intro Battle Hoth is a standalone experience geared toward new players of the official Star Wars trading card game. It’s very similar in concept to Pokemon TCG: Battle Academy and Disney Lorcana: Gateway. The fast-paced spin on Star Wars: Unlimited is available now for $20. As an added bonus, the game is themed around the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back.
$20
Intro Battle Hoth is a head-to-head game for two players that takes roughly 20 minutes to play. Asmodee recommends Star Wars: Unlimited for players ages 12 and up.
The $20 “New Player Game” comes with two pre-built, 50-card decks. Princess Leia and the Rebel forces must defend Echo Base from Darth Vader and his Imperial Army. Much like Pokemon Battle Academy, Intro Battle Hoth comes with an illustrated game board with labeled spots for cards.
There’s also a full rulebook and all accessories needed to play. Here’s the full list of contents inside the box:
- 104 Cards
- Princess Leia’s Rebel Forces Deck
- Darth Vader’s Imperial Army Deck
- Game Board
- 57 Damage Counters
- 2 Epic Action Counters
- 1 Initiative Counter
- 1 Rulebook
- 1 Info Sheet
Star Wars: Unlimited TCG debuted in March 2024 with a 252-card set called Spark of Rebellion. Asmodee has since released four more sets, and the next one, Secrets of Power, is slated for November 7. The prolific card/board game manufacturer has already confirmed three Star Wars: Unlimited TCG sets for 2026: A Lawless Time, Ashes of the Empire, and. Homeworlds.

Star Wars: Unlimited Spotlight Deck Displays
Spotlight Decks are also available in 6-packs. These are mainly designed for tournament play and for larger groups of friends, since you get three of each Spotlight Deck in the carton.
Star Wars: Unlimited Booster Boxes
Booster Boxes come with 24 packs featuring 16 cards each for a total of 384 cards. Booster Packs retail for $6 each, so Booster Boxes net you four packs free at MSRP.

The 2025 Booster Boxes are the cheapest right now, with Jump to Lightspeed sitting at $73 and Legends of the Force at $88. If you want the original Spark of Rebellion set, the Booster Box for $91 is the way to go.

Along with the cards, Prerelease Boxes come with damage counters and a quickstart guide.
