About this board game:
  • Head-to-head game for two players where the galaxy-spanning war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance comes alive on your tabletop
  • In this easy-to-learn game, you and your opponent each choose a side, playing as either the Empire or the Rebels, and as the game progresses you both strengthen the power of your starting decks and work to destroy each other's bases. The first player to destroy three of their opponent's bases wins.
  • Over 50 different cards allow players to take command of their favorite Star Wars characters, vehicles, and starships, each with thematic abilities as they defend their iconic bases, such as the Death Star and the Rebels' base on Hoth, that grant powerful abilities while in use

Copy and pasting my thoughts from when this came around a few months ago:

We found it to be OK. It's a pretty light deckbuilder with some good ideas, but the game doesn't work a little too often for our taste. It's really swingy and games tend to have one player just run away with the whole thing. If you're not familiar with deckbuilders, you play cards from your hand to generate resources, then use those resources to buy better cards which get added to your deck.

As a competitive deck builder, it often ends up just being a race to whoever buys the first card that costs 6 or more (the big boys - Luke, Vader, etc). Whoever gets the first one of those pretty much always just keeps extending their lead so there's not much reason to keep playing after that.

The cards available to purchase are limited as well - 6 available at all times and the Rebel player can only buy Rebel & Neutral cards, Empire player can only buy Empire&Neutral. If one player ends up with only 1-2 cost cards available and the other player has 3-5 cost cards available, they really have no chance.

It's not a bad game (thankfully its quick) but more often than not it just feels like you're playing a game that's per-determined by the initial shuffle.

We probably got $15 of enjoyment out of it (I paid closer to MSRP), but its not one that will last on the shelf much longer.

Disney's Star Wars is superior anyway. Was a dead franchise before they took over. Sequels were decent, but Mandalorian. Kenobi, and Ahsoka were all great, not to mention Tales of the Jedi and Visions.

Does Han or Greedo shoot first if both cards are played simultaneously?

If anyone is familiar with and enjoys the deck building game Star Realms, this is very similar. It has some fun, key differences in how you track victory conditions and are able to defeat cards from the trade row to prevent your opponent from buying them. There's a force balance that plays into abilities you may or may not have each turn depending on the current balance meter.
I paid MSRP and still am quite happy with it. This is a solid deal.

Just wanted to chime in and say this game is fantastic and at $15 it's a no-brainer. If you like deck building and star wars, it's as good as it gets.
