Any other games like Star Wars Epic Duels?

Question

Hi! My husband really wants Star Wars Epic Duels but we don't shop on e-bay and Board Game Geek has them for like $50 and we can't afford that. Has any of the game companies made the same game out of any other movies that have come out recently like Harry Potter or Transformers or anything like that? Thanks.

Heroscape is kinda similar, but not Star Wars based.  It's story takes a bunch of characters from different fantasies and times and pits them against each other.  It's your choice if you wanna build a team of different characters to use, and the rules are really open to play the game a bunch of different ways.  You get to build the map each and every time you play it, any way you like.  It doesn't use cards like Epic Duels, but has special abilities already put on the player profile cards that you can choose to use throughout the game.  There is a starter kit for something like $30, and tons of expansion sets that aren't needed but can add to the game if he gets into it.  You can find it at a lot of stores.  Heroscape is the same type of strategy mixed with luck game that Epic Duels, but if he likes the game because of it's Star Wars content it just might not have the same appeal.
