SWU Rules
Use the official Star Wars: Unlimited Comprehensive Rules v2.0, dated June 21, 2024, as the rules source of truth.
Workflow
- Read
references/glossary.mdfirst for project lingo and common citations. - Start at
indexes/master-index.mdto choose the smallest relevant rule file. - Load
references/comprehensive-rules.mdonly when the topic file is too shallow or an exact rule quote/citation is needed. - Cite official section numbers such as
1.3.2,6.3, or7.5.5in rules answers and implementation handoffs. - Distinguish confirmed official rules from repo inference or engine design decisions.
- Let printed card text override base rules when directly conflicting.
- Treat restrictions as stronger than permissions.
- Resolve as much of an ability as possible when part of it cannot resolve.
