It sounds like Xia .

I just got Xia the other week, and have played it a couple times. Fantastic game.

After Xia, Outer Rim holds no interest for me, even with the Star Wars skin.

The older I get the harder it is to get any game to the table. I'll probably pass on this since my friends don't care about Star Wars and I see no single player option.

It's is single player though.

oh no they are making goods and services tailored to my interests! what Fiends!

oh I don't disagree! If I was a company with access to an IP like Star Wars I'd be printing money too...because I know what kind of fiends star wars fans are and will buy it up! no argument there. they got me hook line and sinker too! X-wing, Destiny, Legion, Armada, Imperial Assault.... all on my shelf.

A time ago, in a boardroom in a cold North state: "OK guys, X-Wings looking good 'eh?" ...looking down at papers the trio does..."Yeah, but, Wave IV is not generating they hype we really wanted on the 1.0 ships; not anything much beyond B-Wingers really. And come on guys, we know we'll never sell all these re-boxed Decimators, unless we put Sloane in there." ...long silence... "Nah. Hey, what about that smuggler game thing we shelved last year?" ...smaller silence... "Yeah, OK, and lets put some different colour or sparkly X-Wing dice in there too, that'll generate half the sales. Those players are nuts about dice and will pay whatever people ask for them. That way, it doesn't really matter if the game is truly good or not "

"Done, tell the printers. Write the teaser...and get those dice in there."

To be fair it's pretty nice of them that the "Premium Attack Dice Expansion Pack" will come with a possibly family friendly board game you can distract your family with not to explain why there won't be any dinner for the rest of the month because you've spent all savings on the tabletop again.

I'm in for the Dice pack, still cheaper than those scalpers on the secondary market hocking cool dice for hundreds.

If people'll pay it, they'll list it for that price.

Wait are we talking about FFG and The Outer Rim Dice Pack or scalpers?

"Scalpers" in general?

I mean I sell the most of the goods I get to help offset the cost of travelling to said events. So I do try to get the most bang for the buck. If people are buying them at X price, I generally try to sell it at that price. I'll take lower if i know I can sell it sooner and/or to a local player.

It's 1-4 players.

Which has me excited!
