It features three unique missions, each with their own special rules and conditions for victory, cards, and fully assembled and painted starships—one X-wing and two TIE Fighters.

The game features detailed and painted miniatures and recreates Star Wars space combat in several scenarios included in the release. Players are able to select their crew and plan their maneuvers before play in order to develop strategies to complete their missions. Initially announced with an early 2012 release date, the X-Wing: Core Set and the first wave of expansion packs premiered at the Gen Con gaming convention on August 16, 2012.
