Game play approximately 10-20 minutes. 1 buildable LEGO® Dice 32 LEGO microfigures Rules booklet Building instructions Game overview: Star Wars: Battle of Hoth is a game for two or four players on a Lego game board. One player or team represents the empire, and the other player or team represents the Rebels. The players move their pieces over the assembled board and attack the opponent's pieces. Each piece has a range of fire and movement that dictates what damage can be done and at what distance. The board is a gridwork of interlocking Lego pieces that can be altered to change the layout, thus opening some movement paths that were previously blocked, and blocking movement elsewhere. The goal of the game is to eliminate the opposition's forces or leader.
