Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Wonderful game, takes time to learn but it's worth it for Star Wars Fans!!!

A great game. This masterpiece is for people go likes RPG, chess and Star Wars. You don't need to be a fan of the saga, but definitely have an interest in sci-fi. Components are high quality and the core set can deliver 100-120 hours of gameplay across campaign, app and skirmish modes. Campaign is replayable thanks to many things and choices that may go differently, although you can expand the game to play new campaigns and add more cards and miniatures. Skirmish more is very interesting, if you get latest expansions it can deliver a great game experience and depth for advanced board games. I suggest this over Descent.

I love this game. I've tried RPGs in the past and been out off by the complicated rules, but with the assistance of the accompanying app, Imperial Assault is easy to get to started with the rules soon slotting into place. The app also allows you to play single player games, in case you don't have any geeky mates! Some of the minatures need some tidying up, but they are no worse than some of the games workshop figures I've purchased in the past. The scenarios are engaging, and not too long do you don't have to give up hours to fit in a game. Recommended.

This game is simply brilliant, the game plays really well both playing skirmish and campaign. The rules are relatively straightforward for this type of game with some novel mechanics that add to the strategy and being star wars themed it has that extra factor making it a must have for any fan of the series and board game enthusiast. The game feels well balanced to the point that every game I've played so far has gone right down to the wire. The core set is pretty good value for money as there is plenty of play time in this box alone. The only downside is some of the characters in this box are represented by tokens, the missing characters are available as additional packs but obviously that puts the price up.

Wow, this game gets great reviews, is Star Wars, and Fantasy Flight using everything they learned from previous dungeon crawlers. If that isn't selling point enough for you, the actual play experience for me exceeded my expectations, even while sufficiently hyped.The 1st game is just amazing. The app, or steam game, which I ran on my tv in the background, walks you through and teaches you the game in the easiest and best way I've ever seen. And the game is super fun and thematic to boot.

Great game, recommend "Harsh Rules' tutorials on Youtube as easy way into the rules.
