X-Wing is a tactical ship-to-ship combat game in which players take control of powerful Rebel X-wings and nimble Imperial TIE fighters, facing them against each other in fast-paced space combat. Initially announced with an early 2012 release date, the X-Wing: Core Set and the first wave of expansion packs premiered at the Gen Con gaming convention on August 16, 2012.

Players are able to select their crew and plan their maneuvers before play in order to develop strategies to complete their missions. The game features detailed and painted miniatures and recreates Star Wars space combat in several scenarios included in the release. Players are able to control starships, such as Rebel X-wings and Imperial TIE fighters, and pit them against each other in fast-paced space combat. It features three unique missions, each with their own special rules and conditions for victory, cards, and fully assembled and painted starships-one X-wing and two TIE Fighters. The Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game Core Set, more commonly known as the X-Wing Core Set and more recently referred to as the Classic Core Set, is the two-player starter set for the Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game, a tactical ship-to-ship combat game released by Fantasy Flight Games.
