Players control the levers of their respective barracks, in time to Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon doing flying loops overhead, trying to stop it from knocking a Stormtrooper token off the barracks and into the channel. Each card will give the player two or three options spread across these zones of conflict, and the players must manage their needs on the battlefield based on the cards they have drawn. Reviews are great , and this looks like loads of fun for Star Wars fans and it should keep the kids happy for ages!

When the Millennium Falcon comes near a player's Stormtrooper tokens, that player uses their paddle to make a quick flip to get Chewbacca out of the way. Tabletop gaming has (thankfully) not been immune to this phenomenon, with a variety of specialty and mass market Star Wars games released in 2015, with more scheduled for 2016. You can, if you’re good enough, flick up Chewie so he flies over your opponent’s lever and lands right on the token. Rather, the closest inspiration for Risk: Star Wars Edition is probably The Queen’s Gambit, a classic (2000) original design Star Wars game set during The Phantom Menace. On Endor, the Rebels must race to destroy the shield generator, while the Empire deploys Stormtrooper reinforcements to make this task more difficult.Variations: I'm told that the original Loopin' Louie game is used as a drinking game in some colleges, so perhaps this could be used for the same purpose if you're cooler than me and can handle more than one drink in the evening.

Some of them are new games, some of them are re-skins of existing games, and some of them are pretty obviously terrible – but some of them are pretty good! There have been Risk Star Wars games in the past that hewed to the original Risk model – this just isn’t one of them).It’s great fun for adults and children alike, so much that it was one of our games we got out for Christmas Day last year!

I plan on making these “showcase” posts when I finish up a project but since I have a backlog of completed work already, for now I will be discussing some of my favorite games that started me on the this path. He spins around on the arm in the middle, and you have to flip him out of the way with your paddles so that he goes after someone else's Stormtroopers instead.

Failing to keep Chewie at bay will result in a stormtrooper being knocked down, and the last player with a trooper left wins. Risk: Star Wars Edition, however, is not a re-skin of that game, but more of an “inspired by” (each game has three designers; Craig Van Ness worked on both). I didn’t want to ruin the “chicken” discs by painting them and making them too thick too work so I used permanent marker instead and sealed them.Like the movie, Risk: Star Wars Edition features three distinct, related, and simultaneous conflicts – the Rebel’s efforts to sabotage the shield generator on Endor, the space battle around the second Death Star, and the throne room duel between Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the Emperor ( The Queen’s Gambit featured three interlocking battlefields (the epic duel against Darth Maul, the droid/Gungan battle on the plains of Naboo, and Anakin’s efforts in space to destroy the droid control ship). In space, the Rebel and Imperial fleets seek to destroy each other by moving and attacking with Starfighters, including the TIE-spamming Executor Super Star Destroyer (with Empire’s fully armed and operational battle station taking shots as well). However, the Rebels cannot even attempt to destroy the Death Star until they have destroyed the shield generator.
