Description
This Risk: Star Wars Edition game lets players re-create the dramatic final moments of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Featuring gameplay for 2 or 4 players across a TIE fighter-shaped gameboard, players can determine the fate of the Star Wars universe through 3 concurrent (yet distinct) battles. Choose to play as either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, and use the classic Risk dice to control characters and ships. The object of the game is to defend or destroy the Death Star. Which side will win: the Galactic Empire or the Rebel Alliance?

Quotes (from this video)
- The most expensive game that I own is frankly a huge anomaly in my board game collection because that's Foundations of Rome.
- It's a showstopping game. It does something fantastic, which is it's a huge box, but it doesn't make the setup any longer to be bloodily long to set up.
- To me, that one game was an investment that I'll have probably for the rest of my life and I'll be able to play and enjoy.
- Is $200 worth of components and value and craft in this game? Maybe.
- The price per evening at that point gets lower and lower until you're thinking, 'Wow, this game gave me a month's worth of Nights Out, but spent in playing the game for $5 a pop.'
- Foundations of Rome is in my top 10 games of all time.
