Fun, quick, 2-person game. Not as much strategy as traditional Risk as its all based on what cards you draw. The only area where 'strategy' really comes into play is ship generation and movement. The battles for Endor and in the Throne Room are a novel concept that help you from getting bogged down in troop movement and attacking (the backbone of traditional Risk) and help keep the game moving.
Play is slightly skewed towards the Rebels, but overall it's a great quick play. Got it for $22, would have probably paid up to $30 for it.
My box DID come slightly damaged from shipping, which sucks since alot of the appeal of the "Black Series" is the packaging. Also, the Millenium Falcon, Death Star, and Destroyer are cheap plastic rather than metal. My destroyer actually has a bent 'nose' :(
Play Value: 5 Stars
Quality: 3 Stars
