On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the premiere, Empire Strikes Back , we have prepared a special list for you. Star Wars has many board interpretations, a collector's card game, a few battleships, clones of Monopoly , Strate and Risk . Which of them is the strongest force?
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes
We still expect momentum, but on a smaller scale? I recommend the skirmishes in the game: Empire Attacks . It is a one-against-many game in which one player directs the Imperial forces while the rest divide the rebel team among themselves.
The standard way to play is in the campaign mode. It is a series of interconnected missions, between which we can develop characters (or strengthen the army in the case of the Empire). Each mission is a different tactical map where Rebel heroes must complete a goal before they are overwhelmed by the infinite forces of the Empire.
Empire Strikes in campaign mode gives you the impression of being in an RPG session. Heroes have their own special features and unique equipment, and gain experience. The Imperial player plots and defeats successive enemy forces, trying to stop the bolder plans of the players. However, the game is all about history. Unfortunately, some missions seasoned with a pinch of poor throws can be very difficult for Rebel players to complete, and in these cases the Imperial player must skillfully let go for everyone to have a good time.
The second possible mode of the game is skirmish, in which two teams from the pool of available figures compete without a storyline. In both modes we will meet characters from the Saga, especially if we invest in add-ons, which are plenty.
If the confrontation mode is something for you, I recommend that you also get interested in a full-fledged battle game from the world of Star Wars – Legion .
