Can I run events for Star Wars™: Unlimited?

Any “brick and mortar” game store that is interested in running Star Wars: Unlimited Organized Play is eligible* to sign up for a StarWarsUnlimited.com retailer account. Only one retailer account per store may be used to run events.

*Note: Failure to abide by FFG/Asmodee’s Event Guidelines can result in a store’s eligibility being revoked.

How do I sign up for a retailer account?

Game stores are encouraged to contact their Asmodee distributor to receive instructions on setting up a retailer account.  

Once I apply for a retailer account, how will I know I’m approved?

Once the sign-up process is complete, organizers can begin using their StarWarsUnlimited.com account to create events.

Approval and account creation times will vary depending on the volume of requests and the timing within the Organized Play season.
