In the summer of 2002, Hasbro released Star Wars Epic Duels upon the world. Fans across the globe have been discussing, tweaking and adding their own custom creations to the board game ever since. In 2009, at the New York City Toy Fair, Hasbro teased fans with a demo expansion to Epic Duels, but unfortunately, that expansion never came to fruition, and no official expansion has been created by Hasbro to date. In 2012, in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the release of this board game, fans at the Epic Duels Forum took it upon themselves to correct this corporate injustice. Fans came together to vote on the best of available custom add-ons to release as an unofficial fan expansion to Epic Duels. Over the course of several months, forum members intensely discussed, debated and ultimately voted on the 12 best characters and decks, and 2 best maps for the expansion. There are two different sets in the expansion: Custom Set and Tournament Set.
10YA Custom Set
The Custom Set contains 12 custom decks and 2 custom maps intended to be combined with the original Hasbro game. The project started by deciding on the 12 best characters, and moved on from there to find the 12 best decks available for those characters, and eventually considered the best available maps. What follows should be considered the best available custom add-ons, as voted on by the Epic Duels Forum.
10YA Tournament Set
The Tournament Set contains the same 12 custom decks above plus the original 12 Hasbro decks. The difference is, some of these 24 decks are tweaked in order to make all of them as close as possible to the same power level for use in "League of Legends" style tournaments. This style of Epic Duels tournament has been used for several years at Gen Con as well as in the some online tournaments using the VASSAL module. Tweaks were intensely discussed at the Epic Duels Forum, and were ultimately tested for balance before being implemented. Click for more information on the Tournament Set.
The Tournament Set Vassal Extension is NOT a complete set by itself, but must be played with the 10YA Custom Set extension in addition. The Tournament Set extension has only the 7 original decks and 2 custom decks that it has modifications for. For the remaining decks, you must use the original decks or the customs from the 10YA Custom Set.
