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 Outer Rim
This time we will play the role of mercenaries performing missions for the one who pays the most.
We choose a character (yes, there is Han Solo), one of the two ships, we fly into space and try to get as many fame points as possible. We will receive these for completing missions consisting in delivering goods to the right place or finding specific people (commonly known as head-hunting).
In the meantime, we buy new ships and equipment, gain crew members, flee or fight patrols – all on the modular title map of the galaxy’s Outer Rim.
The Outer Rim under a thick layer of climate is actually a pick and delivery game that is close to the economy games. Fans of rolling with handfuls of dice may be disappointed – after a few games the descriptions on the cards start to repeat and it becomes more and more difficult to obtain the “wow” effect.
If, however, we expect a pleasant game with a lot of replayability (the combination of pilots, crew, equipment is plenty), given in the Star Wars setting , with many known characters and events, we will definitely not be disappointed.
