If you are looking for an epic Star Wars in a box experience you may as well just hit add to cart right now. Star Wars Rebellion is a grand zoomed out game of cat and mouse across the galaxy. One team will take control of the smaller and weaker Rebel Alliance. Their job is to evade the Empire while lobbying other planets to join the revolt. You are outmatched by a well sourced, funded and evil Imperial Empire, so causing a galaxy wide revolt is your only chance!
The Imperial Empire player just has to find the Rebel base and destroy it. With their legends of Stormtroopers and superior numbers in almost everything this should be a walk in the Endorian Forest right?

The board features a map of the galaxy, with planets and systems that fans of the franchise will recognise and relish. At the start of the game the Rebel player will secretly decide which planet their base will start on. Hoth? Right. I mean its got to be Hoth for the classic double bluff? Yet even if your double bluff fails you can up and move before the Empire has time to amass its forces and then mouse hunt will start again,

It isnt just the grand scale that plays out in Rebellion though. Each side has access to leaders, classic characters from the saga that will help sway the battle by taking on secret missions, and living out classic moments from the original trilogy or making new ones completely.

Featuring over 150 plastic miniatures of the films iconic vehicles this is a game for players and collectors both. Once you have finished your first play you will no doubt want to swap sides and go again! May the force be with you!

Star Wars Rebellion – Rules of Play says:

Star Wars Rebellion is a behemoth of a game! Players will fight in one of the most well known and vast space wars ever! Players must take sides and fight almost allaspects of the tremendous war between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance, fight in action packed starship battles and command troop movement throughout the galaxy, you will also need to rally other planetary systems to your cause. With the two sides being so different there are also different win conditions: The Empire needs to use its massive army and star fleet to find and obliterate the rebel base. The Rebels do not have the fire power to take the Empire head on, so they need to be like a surgical scalpel with tactical assaults on vital Empire locations, they also need to get the citizens of the galaxy behind their cause and cause a galactic uprising against the Empire!

With all your favourite characters on both sides of the conflict, and more than 150 miniatures which are played on a board that features 32 of the Star Wars galaxies favourite systems Rebellion is one of the biggest and most in-depth Star Wars games ever!
