Tremendous, deeply thematic game - it feels lovingly crafted. I enjoyed painting the wonderful pieces. The story elements come through well and the game-system is pretty simple.

I love the Star Wars theme. This game is a 1 vs many game, where one player will play as the Imperials and the others play as the Rebels. As the Empire, you will build your faction with various tools at your disposal. The Rebels have a series of characters that will gain abilities as they advance through the non-linear story that is determined by several cards.

Went in with fairly low expectations, and left wanting to play more immediately. What a fun game! The theme works surprisingly well, and what surprised me the most was the mix of exploration and interactivity (similar to Mansions of Madness) combined with combat. There is really a race element to the scenarios which force you to move quickly, which I personally like but others may not. The downsides are two-fold though; the first is that the app really makes this game move along, and that requires some electronic device to manage. Ideally a tablet or laptop. The second is the initial setup. It is not quite as bad as Gloomhaven, but it still requires quite a bit. If you are used to Gloomhaven, or any of CMON's "map-mini games" (i.e. Zombicide, Arcadia Quest) then this is comparable.
