Risk: Starwars Edition

By mouthymerc, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Anyone else picked this up just for the ship minis?

You get 20 x-wings, 16 y-wings, 15 b-wings and 56 tie fighters. Mix in some Star Wars micro machines and it can make for some good visuals for those that enjoy that.

I used to love RISK... then my wife kept winning, same with Cluedo AND Monopoly, I'm pretty sure she uses weighted dice or something - so I insist on Ludo or Snakes & Ladders instead :)

I'm still waiting for the Star Wars edition of Candyland.

Star wars Cluedo: Who murdered the emperor? Was it Luke with the lightsaber? Han with the blaster? or...?

Star wars Sorry: trancelucent pegs in the colors of the lightsabers...*

Stars wars battleship: wich actually exists to. "You crashed my star destroyer!" Why isn't this more popular!?

* okay so this exists, but not with lightsaber playing pieces!

i would like to see a candyland version of star wars board game.

How well do these scale with the Armada fighters?

Since a friend of mine bought the game was very disappointed at first and now he and his group loves it, I just thought I'd mention it: this Game is nothing like Risk. Nothing. At. All.

It is more like the Queens Gambit if you knew that game; you fight the 3 battles of Endor at the same time. (Luke vs. Vader & Rebel fleet vs Deathstar & Deactivating the Shield Generator), playable 1v1 or 2v2 (both equally enjoyable imo) and playtime (for us) is always below 2 hours, sometimes below 1 hour.

It's a fast and very enjoyable game, also suited for non-hardcore gamers, but to press the point, it is most definitly not a risk game.
