My oldest boy and I have played 3 games of Star Wars Rebellion. And we want more!
Man, we love this game. So far, I have won two games, he won one. Imperial have won twice (once by me and once by him) and the Rebels won once (by me).
The game is tense, as both sides. It is quite thematic. We are able to get a game played in right around 3 hours.
This last game we played, my youngest son and I were the Rebels, Christian was the Empire. Really came right down to the wire. Palpatine turned Leia to the darkside and she just caused havoc diplomatically. The Rebels took out a Death Star over Yavin. The Rebel Base was on Dantooine, and Christian was right next to it on Dathomir, with a Super Star Destroyer and some TIE fighters and 3 or 4 AT-ST, several Stormtroopers, and am AT-AT. I decided to strike first...the final battle took place over Dathomir where I had 3 Calamari Cruisers, 2 Corellian Corvettes, and several X-wing and Y-Wings. We brought down the Super Star Destroyer, gaining tge last reputation we needed to bring the Galaxy to rise up and revolt against the Empire. Poor Jan Dodonna was captured, tortured by an Interrogation Droid, then finally frozen in carbonite. Luke & Han attempted a rescue...but was not able to pull it off. Just a great game.
Christian very well could have won, but he was quite focused on Endor, thinking the Rebel Base was located there. Thankfully, he focused too much, neglecting the other side if the map where the actual base was.
Like I said...awesome game. And Christian is wanting to play again! He said the next time we play, and he is the Empire, it will be The Empire Strikes Back.
