> 3 dayAssuming you already have the base game, this is WELL worth the price of admission. Play time is supposedly 2 - 4 hours, but realistically more like 4 - 6 hours with a normal, casual, social atmosphere (talking, cooking, drinking, and visiting), but its a phenomenal time, if youre into this sort of thing, and its about the same with this expansion. The expansion is only ~$35, which makes combat/battle encounters snappier and adds more dimension and options, which is also more than worth the cost. Having more options with the cards adds an aspect of deck building to the game, if you and your friend(s) agree that its fine to curate your missions/objectives/project to your play style before you kick things off. Same stuff as the base game,, just more of it. If you didnt like the base game,, this wont fix things.. if you liked the base game,, this is more of what youre already on-board with. It isnt a party game for more than four people, and its worthless if you dont have friends whore patient-enough to be engaged for hours, but if you do, its an absolute homerun.

Greater than one weekMust 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.

> 3 dayThere are a bunch of great reviews of this expansion. I agree with them, makes an already outstanding game even better! Adds some more of whats in the base game, and fixes the clunkiness of combat (the best part of the expansion). My very favorite part though is it replaces the base game project card for building a super star destroyer, with a project card that gives the option of assigning 2 leaders to the build and placing the super SD on the 2nd space of the build track instead of just the 3rd! Very cool, especially if you bust out the Oversee Project card right after it! Just buy it, youll love it.

> 3 dayThis functions a lot more like a patch than a full expansion. The win conditions for both sides remain unchanged. There are some new heroes, but they dont do anything that different. The big change is how combat works, which is much better plus new units which have a new Green colored die to add to the old red and black ones. The combat system is so improved it should be added to the erreta.

> 3 dayThe 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
