In this game you are introduced to not only new characters
from the movie but also the Star Destroyer, who is hot on your tail and ready
to bring you down. Wonder Forge- always one to create different and interesting
ways to play, have done it once again with this not so normal board game. There
is no board actually included. Instead you have one small center that the ship
attaches too with four curved “legs” that your characters are on and move along
to get to their safe zone.
Each player gets
four characters from the movie to play as Chewbacca, Rey, Poe and Finn, your
mission if you choose to accept it, is to get one of them to safety. Sounds
easy right. Well YOUR WRONG! This game is chuck full of fun, but strategy will
be your best friend. Spin the Star
Destroyer to start the game, and the timer that is held within. This piece is really the star of the show,
and plays fun music from the movie, as well as shooting a laser to take out
your guys when the timer ends. Your job
is to use the action cards to move your players out of its reach before time
runs out! You do this by using two
different kinds of action cards that are included. Resistance action, benefits
only your characters while the First Order cards impacts another player. Either
way if completed correctly they should help you reach your goal of survival.
The cards have tasks like Spin the Destroyer, have you set up the Deflector
Shield to protect your hero, or even has you move opponent’s characters
backwards. These cards however can lead
to different ways of game play. Take it up a notch by incorporating RPG type
actions and ask other players for help, or team up to destroy one team.
A challenging game
which is geared toward older kids on the spectrum, it has tons of bells and whistles
making it intriguing, but honestly the real fun lies in the challenge of it
all. Every player needs to think one step ahead in order win, and the high
speed of the game adds excitement and helps the players make quick decisions
A great gateway
game to more advanced RPG card or board games that us grown up nerds are super
fond of. This game has not only challenging
game play, but Star Wars as well. Clearly this is a no brainer! I would suggest
buying this game for children eight and above, as it takes a few tries to grasp
the concept- but once they do the whole family will LOVE IT!
