About the game
Star Wars: Galaxy Rebellion is a press-your-luck dice-rolling game with a Star Wars theme. As Han, Luke, Leia, or Chewbacca, you must help the rebellion to victory. Battle across various planets up to the second Death Star. On your turn, you roll the custom dice, try to cover at least two symbols on the current planet, and try to earn victory points and/or allies by covering full rows. Your character and many allies will help you. However, if you fail to cover at least one or two symbols, the Sith will cost you dice. Upon completing the planet, move to the next planet until you destroy the Death Star. Whoever now has the most victory points is declared the winner.
