Children of Mandalore OP Kit

Mandalore has a rich warrior culture with some of the finest warriors and pilots in the Star Wars galaxy hailing from its clans. Soon, you’ll have the chance to experience this culture at your local game store with the upcoming Children of Mandalore Organized Play Kit for Star Wars: X-Wing!

At the heart of the kit are two unique scenarios that cast one player as an Aggressor and one as a Protector. In the first, players battle over three caches of beskar, with the Protector seeking to recover as many of these caches as possible while the Aggressor attempts to stop them. Either side can attempt to tow a beskar cache to its board edge and score mission points, but towing a cache limits the actions a ship can take, making it more vulnerable to attack.

Meanwhile, the second scenario sees the Aggressor attempting to disrupt a military depot preparing shipments of fuel and munitions by destroying as many cargo shuttles as they can. The Protector, meanwhile defends the cargo shuttles while they try to escape.

In both scenarios, players must choose one non-limited ship during squad building to become a Child of Mandalore. In addition to gaining the Mandalorian keyword, a missile upgrade slot, and an additional 10 Loadout Value, players choose whether to assign their Child of Mandalore the Tradition of War or Tradition of Peace condition at the end of setup, giving it another ability.

The Children of Mandalore Organized Play Kit is intended as a one-day causal play event for local game stores and is not for resale. Participants will receive all the materials needed to play both scenarios to keep, including the scenario cards, a sheet of punch, and copies of both the Tradition of War and Tradition of Peace condition cards. Additionally, those who participate will also receive a full-art promo Clan Training upgrade card featuring Sabine Wren with the Darksaber.

The Children of Mandalore Organized Play Kit will be available to stores through their distributors in late May. Tell your local game store that you’d like to participate so they can hold an event!
