Fantasy Flight X-Wing game vs. Wizkids Star Trek Attack Wing
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2013 4:55 pm
So, I was at the Portal today for new comic book day, and saw the new Star Trek Attack Wing game.
http://wizkidsgames.com/startrek/star-trek-attack-wing/
Which bears a striking resemblance to X-Wing.

In fact, aside from the minis themselves, all the other parts of this game are identical - the dice, the distance measurement pieces, the attack range finders, all the stats, the bases, etc.
How are these identical, but offered by different companies. Sure, I get the intellectual property might be owned by different companies, but how can they result in basically the exact same game?
Hmmm.
