My BGG Comment

I have wanted a game with a Star Wars theme for a long time and we picked the right one. With the expansion. We had a great time in our games. This is a pickup and deliver game that really shines because of its theme. You feel like you are Han Solo or Boba Fett. This is all the adventure that Star Wars has to offer and none of the politics (well very little in any case). You get to fly the Ghost or the Millenium Falcon if you play your cards right. I bought it because it has a solo mode but I think my partner will join in every time I bring this to the table.

But only with the Unfinished Business expansion. This is a lovely adventure game that evokes all the best moments from the OG trilogy and possibly some of Clone Wars and Rebels. You get to fly the Millenium Falcon and do a Kessel Run if you play your cards right. Or force someone to gamble away their fortune to you ... assemble your crew and become the Pirate King of the Outer Rim. The basic playing mechanism is pick up and deliver and fights can be dicey with luck. We play this for its thematic charm...
