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.

The only reason I am keeping this is because I am so heavily invested in it, and I doubt I could get rid of it. It’s a cool idea, but the app is kind of anticlimactic and grindy. Clunky gameplay. If I had played it with more than 2 people, it may be better. 6.7 to 6

1st plays: This is a refined version of the Descent 2.0 system with a better theme. I really wanted to like Descent, but the hand of take-that cards always felt jarring, and the long turns caused it to drag a bit. Threaded actions and less gotcha's speed up the game and make for a positive experience. I do wish there were more Jedi/Sith though. 2nd plays: We played this multiple times in one night, and the campaign was interesting, each scenario was different, and not quite the frantic pace of Descent. It's still a race to complete objectives, but slightly less so, and still a very tight margin for error.
