Description from the publisher: Ubongo: Star Wars: Das Erwachen der Macht merges the best-selling Ubongo game with numerous motifs from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with the Jedi players racing against time to demonstrate their skill in covering ground with the predetermined tiles, no matter the light or dark side is in play. Whoever succeeds in time moves their spaceship ahead in the galaxy, with the fastest players naturally moving farther. After seven rounds, whoever has explored the galaxy the most wins.
