The galaxy has no shortage of battles, betrayals, and blasters—but sometimes, you just want to race. That’s the pitch behind Star Wars: Super Teams – The Intergalactic Racing Board Game, launching September 12, 2025, from Asmodee and Zygomatic Games. Designed by Max Gerchambeau, this isn’t another heavy tabletop slugfest. It’s a fast, family-friendly race with starships, sabotage, and just enough strategy to keep things interesting.
Think less galactic senate politics, more podracing chaos—only this time, the Millennium Falcon might line up against a Star Destroyer.
How the Game Works
The setup is simple, and that’s the beauty of it. Two to four players pick their teams and move their ships along the track using color-coded cards. Each card lets you push a ship forward, sometimes your own, sometimes an opponent’s.
And here’s the kicker: you’ll often find yourself in the strange position of helping your rivals. Whether by accident or design, your move might nudge someone else closer to the finish line. That light “take-that” energy gives the game a playful unpredictability. It’s a little like gambling at the sabacc table—you’re never fully in control, and luck might sting you when you least expect it.
Game details at a glance:
- Players: 2–4
- Age: 7+ (perfect for kids, still fun for adults)
- Playtime: 20–30 minutes
- Publisher: Asmodee / Zygomatic
- Designer: Max Gerchambeau
Components That Pop
One reason Super Teams is turning heads is the toy-like component design. You don’t just get tokens or cardboard standees—you get eight chunky starship miniatures, each sculpted with love.
The lineup includes heavy hitters:
- Millennium Falcon
- X-Wing
- Jedi Starfighter
- Star Destroyer
- Death Star (yes, technically not a “ship,” but who’s complaining?)
- And more
It’s the kind of table presence that hooks kids instantly. And for adults, it’s hard not to smirk when your Star Destroyer lumbers its way through a casual family race.
Strategy, But Light
Make no mistake: this is not Twilight Imperium. The goal here isn’t a multi-hour galactic conquest. Instead, the game leans on:
- Quick decisions: Which card do you play? Which ship do you move?
- Team dynamics: Sometimes you’ll help your own side, sometimes you’ll sabotage others.
- Push-your-luck moments: Do you move a rival forward now, gambling that you’ll outmaneuver them later?
It’s light strategy with a dash of unpredictability. In other words, it feels like a race should: fast, chaotic, and sometimes hilariously unfair. Just like an esports bracket where the underdog suddenly sweeps the match.
The Star Wars Factor
Let’s be real: a racing game alone might not get much buzz. But slap Star Wars branding on it, and suddenly you’re not just pushing pawns—you’re reliving the thrill of podraces, dogfights, and improbable chases from the movies, comics, and video games.
It works because Star Wars has always balanced high-stakes drama with playful chaos. One moment you’re in a deadly duel, the next you’re betting credits on a podrace. This board game taps into that same balance, making it an easy sell for both families and collectors.
Who’s It For?
- Families: The 20-minute playtime is perfect for school nights.
- Kids: The components double as mini toys, which is no accident.
- Collectors: Those ship minis alone make it shelf-worthy.
- Gamers: Looking for a filler between heavier sessions? This hits the sweet spot.
It’s the kind of title you can bring to a casual group without scaring anyone off. No 50-page rulebook, no four-hour playtime. Just quick, breezy fun.
Final Thoughts
Star Wars: Super Teams – The Intergalactic Racing Board Game isn’t trying to be the next sprawling saga. Instead, it’s delivering a snack-sized race with a galaxy-sized theme. Think of it as a spin at the roulette table: it’s quick, flashy, and not entirely under your control—but that’s half the fun.
With its release in September 2025, it’s shaping up to be one of those titles that sneaks into family collections and gaming shelves alike. Not every Star Wars release has to be galaxy-shaking. Sometimes, all it takes is a Falcon, a Death Star, and a finish line.
