AMG just previewed a great way for LGSs to hold learning games of Star Wars Shatterpoint in this retail and 3-week initiation kit!
We’ve seen the new Star Wars Shatterpoint starter set unboxing and some rules previews. We also saw some tabletop mechanics, and even what a character can do.
If you want to see what the models look like and where you can grab yours, you can check that out here. For now, though, let’s check out the new plans from Atomic Mass Games.
Star Wars: Shatterpoint Initiation & Retail Support Kits
The Initiation Kit supports up to 8 players as they learn the fundamentals of Star Wars: Shatterpoint over the course of three sessions. Each session players play a different Mission designed to familiarize them with gameplay concepts and mechanics, ultimately culminating in a full game of Star Wars: Shatterpoint at the final session.
Assuming LGSs will actively be doing this, it seems like a great way to teach people and maybe even encourage someone to try it out who otherwise wouldn’t have taken the leap alone.
Every player who participates will receive a set of the mission cards to keep that they can use to help teach the game to new players. Additionally, as a reward for participating, each player will also receive a foil order card for the four Primary characters included in the Core Set: Ahsoka Tano, Jedi No More™; General Anakin Skywalker™; Asajj Ventress, Sith Assassin™; and Lord Maul™.
A little bonus is also excellent for players excited about the game. Ultimately, it’s not a huge thing, but it’s still nice either way!
Now onto the Retail Support Kit…
In addition to the Initiation Kit, the Star Wars: Shatterpoint Retail Event Support Kit provides more opportunities to build your Shatterpoint community from the start. This kit contains an 18”x24” Shatterpoint poster to promote the game in your store as well as 16 foil Shatterpoint order cards that can be given to players as promotional items to welcome them to the game.
A poster for the store is a must, and it’s great to know there will potentially be a welcome gift for players in the form of some foil Shatterpoint order cards!
