Star Wars Unlimited Online: How to Play for Free in 2026

So you’ve discovered Star Wars Unlimited and now you want to play online — whether to test a new deck, learn the game, or get reps in between local events. The good news is there are several solid options available in 2026, most of them completely free. Here’s a breakdown of every platform worth your time.

Force Table: Best for Solo Practice and Sealed Play

Force Table is part of the Felt Table network and is the go-to platform for playing Star Wars Unlimited online against AI. It’s ideal for learning the game, testing new deck ideas, and grinding reps without needing to find a human opponent. The AI won’t replicate the decision-making of a strong human player, but it’s more than capable of putting your deck through its paces.

Force Table is actively maintained and regularly updated with new cards. As of June 2026, cards from the A Lawless Time set are already in the platform.

Game Modes

Quick Match — Jump in with preconstructed decks or build your own by importing a deck list from SWUDB.com. Choose your leader, pick your base, and you’re ready to play.

Sealed — Open six virtual packs from your chosen set, build a 30-card deck, and take on AI opponents at increasing difficulty levels.

Draft — Draft cards one at a time from rotating packs, build your deck, then battle AI to see how your build holds up.

Twin Suns 1v1 — Force Table has also launched a Twin Suns 1v1 mode, making it one of the only browser-based platforms currently supporting the multiplayer format in a head-to-head version.

Supported Sets (as of June 2026)

• Spark of Rebellion
• Shadows of the Galaxy
• Twilight of the Republic
• Jump to Lightspeed
• Legends of the Force
• Secrets of Power
• A Lawless Time

Sealed and Draft modes require a Patreon subscription starting at $5 per month. Quick Match is free. Join the Felt Table Discord for updates, bug reports, and community feedback.

Karabast: Best for Playing Against Other Humans

Karabast is a free, open-source Star Wars Unlimited simulator built by the community for the community. Unlike Force Table, Karabast is primarily designed for player-vs-player matches rather than AI practice. You can create a private lobby to play with a friend, jump into a public game, or spectate ongoing matches to study how other players approach the game.

There are no automated tournaments or rankings, which keeps things casual and low-pressure. All features are completely free.

Karabast now supports multiple languages for card text including English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian — useful if you’re playing with international friends.

Supported Sets (as of June 2026)

• Spark of Rebellion
• Shadows of the Galaxy
• Twilight of the Republic
• Jump to Lightspeed
• Legends of the Force
• Secrets of Power
• A Lawless Time

To get started, import a deck from SWUDB.com or sw-unlimited-db.com, create a lobby, and start playing.

Holonet Unlimited: A Note on Current Status

Holonet Unlimited was an app with strong early promise — available on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android with sound effects and dynamic graphics. However, as of 2026 the platform has not kept pace with newer sets and currently only supports Spark of Rebellion. If the project receives meaningful updates, it’s worth revisiting. For now, Force Table and Karabast are the stronger options.

Protect the Pod: Best for Draft and Limited Practice

Protect the Pod is a limited format simulator that works alongside Karabast. If you enjoy Draft or Sealed play and want to get better at building and playing limited decks, this is the tool for it. It supports both solo and live draft formats, lets you build from any set’s card pool, and connects directly to Karabast for the actual gameplay portion. It’s actively developed, well-maintained, and free to use. If you play in any local sealed or draft events, practicing here first is a smart move.

Tabletop Simulator: Best for a Physical Table Feel

Tabletop Simulator is a paid app available on Steam (around $20) that simulates a physical tabletop environment. The Star Wars Unlimited community has built several mods available through the Steam Workshop covering both Premier and Twin Suns formats.

Premier Format Mod

The standard Premier mod supports the full two-player game with all sets through A Lawless Time. Both players need to own Tabletop Simulator and connect through Steam.

Twin Suns Mods

Two community-built Twin Suns mods are available on the Steam Workshop for the 3–4 player multiplayer format. One supports cards through Set 6 and is actively updated. Search “Star Wars Unlimited Twin Suns” in the Steam Workshop to find both options.

It’s more setup than the browser-based options but if you want the physical card-moving experience online or want to run a 3–4 player Twin Suns session with friends remotely, it’s the best option available.

Where to Find Deck Lists

Before you jump into any of these platforms, you’ll need a deck. Here are the best resources:

• SWUDB.com — The most comprehensive SWU card database and deck builder. Download deck lists directly into Force Table or Karabast.
• sw-unlimited-db.com — Another solid database with a strong community deck collection.
• StarWarsUnlimited.gg — Great for meta research, tier lists, and seeing what’s performing well in competitive play.

Looking for Physical Cards?

Online simulators are a great way to test a deck before you invest in the physical cards. Once you know what you want to build, browse singles at the Skillshotz Gaming shop to fill out your collection without having to crack packs blindly. You can also check out our guide to Star Wars Unlimited card rarities to understand what you’re looking at when you’re buying or trading.
