About the game
Help Anakin Skywalker and C-3PO race around the chamber to save R2-D2 from the force field! Give the bubble a pop to get Artoo on his feet! With Artoo's help, you can fly around the board at galactic speed, bring out another pawn to help you, or bump one of your opponents' back before they do it to you! Be the first member of the Republic to get all four of your players to the finish area - and you win! DIFFERENCE FROM CLASSIC TROUBLE: The dice bubble contains a small figure of R2-D2 which acts as an extra dice with a value of "6" if Artoo is standing after the "roll". This can be used in conjunction with the regular die in the bubble.
