Shatterpoint is intended as a game which can be expanded upon. Its base gameplay can be adapted to different parts of the universe and encompass the battles from every era featuring a range of our beloved main characters. As such, there are additional expansions for the game you can purchase, which provide additional miniatures and terrain pieces. This includes The High Ground Terrain Pack, the Hello There Pack and the Twice the Pride Count Dooku Squad Pack, just to name a few.
You can also purchase an expansion for the Witches of Dathomir. The Jedi Hunters and the You Cannot Run Duel packs are also available for pre-order, adding Inquisitors and Darth Vader and Obi Wan Kenobi figures respectively.
Arguably one of the most exciting elements of Star Wars: Shatterpoint is its use of terrain pieces, common to many roleplaying table top games. There are not many widespread Star Wars terrain elements available for this kind of use external to Shatterpoint, and they provide a great increase in immersion and interaction for games and as collectibles. With such a rich and diverse universe, it is hard to see Asmodee and Atomic Mass Games running out of expansion packs for this game.
Shatterpoint is a game for 2 players and recommended for ages 12 and up, with an average game duration of around 90 minutes. You can purchase the Core Set from Asmodee online at $164.99 USD.
