I had the occasion to want to see, handle and possibly use the pieces; particularly the space ships, from the new REBELLION board game. In seeking access to the pieces I found that it was cheaper to order the full game than to just get a sample of the pieces.
Once the game arrived I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the total product.
I then resolved to play out a few games and see what potential the system had.
This Thursday we had a bring and play day at our library games space, so I announced to one and all that the game would be out and they could have access for a busy four player game.
 |
| the board fully laid out takes up the better part of a 3x6 table |
 |
| control cards and simple logos make the game fast to learn and play |
 |
| card driven mechanics allow for a cinematic experience while the map forces some physical reality onto the game players |
 |
| the models include 'under construction' death star and all the big Rebel and Imperial ships |
 |
| this game featured a destruction of the Rebel base and an Empire victory! |
 |
| game mechanics include such things as taking Rebels prisoner |
A fun game to play and because of the card mechanics and flexibility of the system no two games will ever really play out the same way.
