SELL YOUR CARDS
Can two people play Gundam Assemble with one Starter Set 01?
Yes. One Gundam Assemble Starter Set 01 (ST01) gives two people six miniatures for a three-on-three game, plus the battlefield, cards and dice. Allow time to build the suits before inviting someone over to play. Bandai Namco’s ST01 contents
What each player gets at the table
Lay the six unit cards face up. Match each model to its card while the names are fresh, then use the chosen scenario to set up the two sides. Each player can keep one of the two quick-reference sheets. Leave the handbook between you so either player can check a rule without shifting the map.
The six suits are RX-78-2 Gundam, Char’s Zaku II, Wing Gundam Zero EW, Gundam Epyon, Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex and Gundam Vidar. A friend who knows Wing can pick out two familiar silhouettes before learning any rules. The scenario you choose tells you how to use the pieces. Bandai’s starter overview
What stays in the middle?
The map, cardboard terrain, game tokens and attack dice form the shared play area. The box also contains 18 Tactics cards and two scenario objective cards. Before the first move, read the objective together. Knowing what you are trying to accomplish makes a decision about where to move much easier.
Do we each need an expansion?
One starter already supplies both sides of the introductory game. A second box makes sense if each household wants its own complete set to host games independently. If you meet at the same table, play a scenario first and see which additional suits either of you wants to build.
Is this a ready-made gift for game night?
The models come unpainted and require assembly. For a gift, decide whether building together is part of the evening or whether you want six finished pieces on the table when your guest arrives. Bandai lists the starter for ages 15 and up. To see exactly what you would be sharing, open Toy Snowman’s Gundam Assemble Starter Set 01.
