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: X-Wing
What if we want to shoot ourselves in outer space? There are two answers: the Armada , which I haven’t had much contact with, I only saw its scale and momentum, and the more accessible X-Wing .
X-Wing is played on the level of fighting groups of fighters (although of course there are also larger battles). As part of the pool of points, we choose the party, ships, their pilots, equipment and start the fight. This takes place on the surface of the table, where we measure the movement with special measures. Plastic ship miniatures are pre-painted, so the game looks good on the table.
Tail sitting, flank attacks, tight maneuvers, dodges, hooks, torpedoes, robots, lasers – this game has everything you could ask for in space combat.
X-Wing works well as a home game for quiet players, but is starting to shine as a tournament game. Each point must be used optimally so that our “schedule” of ships is as strong as possible. This is only a starting point, because tactical skills and knowledge of tricks decide to win.
