Weekly Play involves simple, open-ended, weekly events that stores host for Star Wars: Unlimited. Weekly Play is constant and consistently run from the release of a new set onward—the whole point is for it to be available every week, after all! Whether a Weekly Play event is a short tournament or a simple, casual gathering is up to each individual store; all that matters is that participating stores have a night each week where you and your friends can stop in to play some Star Wars: Unlimited. This phase is supported by a special OP kit, from which you can earn a unique promo pack each week that you participate in your store’s Weekly Play.

Weekly Play at Diversions Puzzles & Games allows players to choose how they want to play Star Wars: Unlimited during the evening – casual constructed 1v1s, Twin Suns, or draft are all available for the store to run, with player consensus!
