Star Wars Rise of The Empire | Strategy Game for Adults and Teens | Ages 14+ | 2-4 Players | Average Playtime 3-4 Hours | Made by Fantasy Flight Games

The game is awesome, plays like the movies without sacrificing the element of surprise. This expansion adds more and tweaks the slight bugs the original game had. Totally recommended

It is recommended for those who like Rogue One.

Perfect.

Must buy if you like Rebellion. The battle system has been reworked and is much better. The new characters and missions bring a new dimension to an already fantastic game. Love the expansion. Doubt I will ever play the base game alone again.

Rise of the Empire is a fantastic expansion for the star wars in a box Star Wars: Rebellion! It adds LOTS of new ships and other miniatures! It adds MORE heroes and villains (mostly taken from Rogue One), including Jabba The Hutt!! It adds MORE mission cards that give both sides more cool powers and abilities! It adds a few new rules that enhance the game without bogging things down. I was not a big fan of Rogue One, but the characters and R1 themed cards just add more to the deep theme and fantastic immersion in the Star Wars universe that Rebellion offers. In fact, I think Star Wars Rebellion offers the Rebel player a chance to retell the R1 story in a MUCH better way (in board game form) then the movie did! Thats the power of this game! And, most importantly, Rise Of The Empire streamlines (but does not completely fix) the clunky combat system; the games only flaw. But the rules changes are a HUGE step in the right direction. This is a MUST HAVE....its as simple as that!

Really fun game add on but it can be a bit tricky. I was hoping it would add more planets from the movie in top of characters.

Adds depth and improves gameplay without adding time play time! Sometimes expansions mean more confusion; not with Rebellion: Rise of the Empire. Ive played through with friends a couple times now, and what was already a good game has been made even better. The biggest improvement is to combat. The tactic cards in the base game were a little awkward and felt somewhat extraneous. Rise of the Empire replaces the old tactic cards with Cinematic Combat cards that represent potentially game changing moments in combat. The cards actually tie to which units are present in battle, which adds an additional strategic element to how to deploy your fleet and troops. The new missions and refinement to some from the base game are great, as are the new characters. Didnt like the added green die for new units and minor skills, but this does increase the total number of dice you can roll in combat beyond ten, which may sometimes be a difference maker. This expansion has made a fun game even more fun to play, which makes it well worth the money.

Nice expansion that builds on an already excellent game

Add so many more levels to combat

Awesome expansion. New units, missions, and more made one of the best board games even better.
