Champion – In addition to a radiant trophy, the North American Champion wins the chance to inspire the selection and creation of a future alternate art prize card! A free flight and hotel room for the next World Championship will bring them to the pinnacle of competition, where they receive a bye in the first round. The champ is even allowed an additional free reserved seat, to bring a friend or companion to compete alongside them at Worlds.

Note: If a Top 4 player already has a free reserved X-Wing World Championship seat, it will pass down to the next highest-ranking player without one. Prizes relating to the World Championship cannot be deferred, and byes and travel awards will not pass down. The alternate art cards in this kit are produced via FFG's In-House Manufacturing and may appear slightly different in color and texture from the game's other cards.
