The Star Wars movies have provided inspiration for novels, comic books, and a wide variety of games. These are my picks for the best Star Wars board games ever published.
This game, published in conjunction with Attack of the Clones, allows players to recreate famous battles from the Star Wars universe -- or to come up with their own. If you've ever wondered who would win a fight between Boba Fett and Han Solo, or between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Emperor Palpatine, this game is for you. Each character has his own card deck. Great fun for 2 to 6 players.
This is the most complex game to make this list, and it recreates the ending of The Phantom Menace with four different battles happening at the same time. It comes with 155 plastic miniatures and three separate boards, including a three-level board representing the palace. For 2 or 4 players.
A clever, fun-packed 20-minute card game that recreates the lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. Three rounds of battle are played; the goal is to win two out of three. Sometimes you need to retreat in one battle in order to be in better position to win the next. For 2 players.
If you like both Stratego and Star Wars, you'll dig this game. It combines the basic Stratego game with pieces that have special powers (e.g. Yoda and Darth Vader). One side plays the Dark Side and the other works with the Force. Characters are pulled from Episodes I, II, IV, V and VI. Four variants are included, so there's a nice variety of gameplay. For 2 players.
Players each have a team of Jedi; they work to slay enemies (mainly Battle Droids, but Count Dooku and Jango Fett are also on the board). On each turn, players move one of their Jedi and attack one or more enemies by rolling dice. Played with the right group, Jedi Unleashed can be a lot of fun. But don't go in expecting any strategic depth. For 2 to 5 players.
