Organized Play
Star Wars: Destiny has maintained a dedicated tournament circuit since its inception. Officially sanctioned prizes direct from FFG have been a part of the game in every tournament format, from release parties, local store tournaments, and on up through large-scale events.
Keeping with traditional Fantasy Flight Games tournament structures, Star Wars: Destiny has held World, Continental, National, Regional, and local (store) Championships, with varying levels of prize support and exclusivity. For 2019, many of these were rebranded. Regionals are now Primes, for instance, and Nationals are Grands, allowing for more high-level tournaments in a single nation. Despite changing the names and dates of these types of tournaments, they have all remained a large part of the game, with many valuable prizes available at each.
