The Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game Core Set, often shortened to the X-Wing Core Set and, in more recent times, known as the Classic Core Set, serves as the entry point for two players into the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game. This is a strategic game of ship-to-ship combat that was originally brought to market by Fantasy Flight Games. It comes with three distinct missions, each having unique rules and victory conditions, along with cards, and pre-assembled, painted starships: one X-wing and a pair of TIE Fighters.
Players can command starships, like Rebel X-wings and Imperial TIE fighters, engaging them in intense space battles. The game boasts meticulously crafted and painted miniatures, recreating iconic Star Wars space engagements through a series of scenarios included in the package. Prior to gameplay, players can strategically select their crew and plan their maneuvers to achieve mission objectives. Initially slated for release in early 2012, the X-Wing: Core Set and the initial set of expansion packs were first shown at the Gen Con gaming convention on August 16, 2012.
