Need some cards for your deck?
Please feel free to check out our offerings - also for pickup in store:
[https://www.cardmarket.com/en/StarWarsUnlimited/Users/kabooom-tcg](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.cardmarket.com/en/StarWarsUnlimited/Users/kabooom-tcg&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3Brt0FnRZ91QVuAe4dg9jg)
# Why Play Premier?
* Build your deck using any of the cards from your own collection
* Limitless combinations allow you to freely express your own playstyle and strategies
* Premier is the primary format of Competitive-tier Organized Play events
# Format Overview
The primary format of *Star Wars™*: Unlimited, Premier is a constructed format that truly embodies the “unlimited” nature of the game by allowing you to build a deck using any of the cards in your collection. This means that you’ll be able to truly express yourself by crafting a deck that perfectly fits your preferred playstyle and strategies.
The Premier format operates under the following rules:
Your deck must consist of **exactly one leader**, **exactly one base**, and a **minimum 50-card draw deck**. You can also have a sideboard of up to 10 non-leader, non-base cards.
Your draw deck **cannot include more than three copies of any one card**.
In official Organized Play events, the winner of a Premier match is determined by **best-of-three** games in a **55-minute** round.
While we understand every retail location is unique with various requirements, we encourage running your Premier events using these recommended tournament settings, but understand if you must change these settings to better suit your store's personal needs.

Impact Over Perfection – A Practical Approach to Accessibility
Accessibility often feels overwhelming with all its guidelines, standards and edge cases. But in practice, meaningful improvements don’t require perfection. They require empathy and a sincere motivation to create a truly usable experience for all.
In this talk, we share real learnings from UX and UI projects: what actually made a difference, where teams struggled, and how small, deliberate changes created a much more inclusive experience.
You’ll walk away with a practical mindset and actionable ideas to start improving accessibility in your own projects — without waiting for the “perfect” solution.

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
