About the game
Star Wars: Star Battle takes the player to the very heart of conflict between Empire and Rebellion. At every move you must make decisions that will determine the fate of the squads you command. Your pilots must face attacks from the enemy's TIE fighters Star Destroyers and and even Lord Vader's advanced TIE fighter. How many men will you risk on a particular course of action? A game for 2-4 players where you take a role as a You are the Leader of the elite group of six rebellion squads attempting to be the first to reach the "Objective Line- destroy the Death Star". Your task is to get through 3 enemy lines while trying to limit your casualties. It's a "push your luck" game where you roll dice and play cards matching the roll, after which you can decide to try to advance further, or stop and carry out card actions. Pushing too far could incur heavy losses.
