Star Wars (Check). RPG{ish} (Check). Miniatures (Check). Likely to have plenty of expansions (Check). This is on the fast track to becoming one of my all time favorite games. I Can't wait to play it again. 7/1/15 - I had to re-rate many of my games because IA raised the bar for my collection. It is the best game in my collection. It has been a hit for my wife, my gaming buddies went crazy for it, and I find that I can't get it to the table often enough to make me happy. It is the best game I own, and one of the best on the market right now. I still can't wait to play it again.

Streamlined version of the tactical one vs many dungeon crawler "Descent 2nd Edition". Very good Star Wars theme integration. [b]Pros:[/b] + Artwork Detailed, clear format and iconography + Theme Covers plenty of characters and scenarios of the Star Wars movies. + Components Great, detailed minis + Streamlined, fun skirmish, combat system (dice-based) + Different characters with special abilities + Campaign with different scenarios / missions: go through and kill all does not work + Quests/side-missions are about the players + Different characters with special abilities that complement each other + Alternating turn sequence between Rebels and Imperium players [b]Neutrals:[/b] # Language dependent # Classic dice combat (dice for attack and defense) # Grid movement with line of sights # Decent, tactical decision-making but not very deep # Best with 2 or 5 players [b]Cons:[/b] - Expansions are a money sink - Campaign can become lop-sided (unbalanced) for one faction [b]Similar games:[/b] * Descent 2nd edition (not as streamlined, not so smooth gameplay between overlord and players) * Shadows of Brimstone (coop campaign game in Cthullu universe) * Space Cadets: Away Missions
