The Tabletop Spotlight is on Star Wars: Rebellion – the NEW Epic Conflict on a Galactic Scale.

Hey BoLS Readers! Our buddies from Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy brought over the new Star Wars: Rebellion board game from Fantasy Flight Games. This game is just as EPIC as the original trilogy that we all know and love:

Now, I’ve already done quite a bit of writing about this game having unboxed this one solo. However, I was please to hear that Evan from Dragon’s Lair was just as excited to dive into this game as I was. Opening a new box for this game is just as impressive as the first time. It’s heavy! There are a bunch of miniatures, tokens, cards and the board sections – It’s, well, EPIC. Very fitting for a game about the Galactic Civil War from Star Wars.

Another thing I’ve touched on previously just how cinematic this game is because of the objectives and missions. You can attempt to recreate the awesome moments in the movie or you can try and do something different to see how it plays out – that’s a big deal for the Imperial Player (spoiler alert: The Empire loses in the movies).

But the fate of the Galactic Empire and Rebellion is now in your hands. Will you face your destiny and change the ending or will you be pawn in the game? Only one way to find out! Star Wars: Rebellion is in stores NOW!

Star Wars: Rebellion $99.99

Experience the Galactic Civil War like never before. In Star Wars™: Rebellion, you control the entire Galactic Empire or the fledgling Rebel Alliance. You must command starships, account for troop movements, and rally systems to your cause. Featuring more than 150 plastic miniatures and two game boards that account for thirty-two of the Star Wars™ galaxy’s most notable systems, Star Wars™: Rebellion features a scope that is as large and sweeping as any Star Wars™ game before it.

Yet for all its grandiosity, Star Wars™: Rebellion remains intensely personal, cinematic, and heroic. As much as your success depends upon the strength of your starships, vehicles, and troops, it depends upon the individual efforts of such notable characters as Leia Organa™, Mon Mothma™, Grand Moff Tarkin™, and Emperor Palpatine™. As civil war spreads throughout the galaxy, these leaders are invaluable to your efforts, and the secret missions they attempt will evoke many of the most inspiring moments from the classic trilogy. You might send Luke Skywalker™ to receive Jedi training on Dagobah™ or have Darth Vader™ spring a trap that freezes Han Solo™ in carbonite!
