There is no good or evil....there's only power!


« on: February 18, 2018, 06:57:36 PM »

Bought this a week ago and played the first match today with my parents. Just one word - incredible. Although I lost my Death Star and thus helped the Rebels win the game. Three guesses where - yes, it was the Yavin system Grin

Two vids from Youtube (these weren't my matches - I haven't recorded it as it was our first and it was an open game with open cards):

First game:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg76cip3DP8" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg76cip3DP8</a>


Second game:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iaW_kpc1G4" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iaW_kpc1G4</a>


And yes - the game looks complex and difficult. But it isn't. After watching those vids and reading through the Rules Book and Reference Book you can learn it very quickly. Play time is around 3 to 4 hours, so two matches per afternoon/evening is definitely possible.

After 4 games, the Empire (i.e. me) still hasn't won yet...although it has much more power, military options and missions to find the base Cheesy

So it's definitely not the case that the Rebels are more or less the underdog in this game. With a good strategy (and a bit of luck) they can block almost any attempt of the Empire to get to the base.

6 hours for both games, 3 1/2 on the first, 2 1/2 on the second Wink That's what you need to plan with when watching both games.

Just found this as a mod (incl. the expansion "Rise of the Empire") for Steam's Tabletop Simulator, so if anyone is interested in playing/learning, you can add me - my nickname is metroidxx. Always looking for newbies and veterans Wink

I only have one requirement: The Learn-to-Play and Rule Reference Books for the core game (and the expansion Rules Book for those who are interested) as well as the lastest FAQ should be read at least once Wink Explaining everything only in the in-game chat is quite....time-consuming Cheesy

Learn-to-Play Rules Book: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/0b/07/0b07601a-6ac3-4333-ac41-b6d1b9a979da/sw03_learn_to_play_web.pdf

Rules Reference Book: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/d9/76/d97645d4-3973-41b6-ad78-6c9b927d3bc1/sw03_rules_reference_web.pdf

Rise of the Empire expansion Rules Book: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/1b/be/1bbe8fa2-c4af-47dd-8b61-1bcb63f9b94c/sw04_rulebook_web.pdf (for those who are interested)

FAQ (09 May 2019): https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/53/ac/53ac8f34-2d3b-4ec1-bfe8-816811756692/sw03_faq_v2_1.pdf (pages 1-5 for the core game, 6-8 for the expansion - which aren't needed, as I only intend to play the core game right now)
