Description
Traverse a galaxy where iconic Jedi heroes utilize the familiar gameplay mechanisms of the Pandemic series in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Planets under siege populate the game board as players take on the role of legendary Jedi traveling from battle to battle, teaming up and fighting off the Separatist threat. Battle droids attack on sight, and a planet invaded by too many will fall under a blockade, hindering Jedi from liberating it from the enemy or accomplishing missions.
Players must work together to confront the onslaught of droids by moving into their spaces and engaging them in combat, utilizing dice and squad cards to deal damage and push back the threat. In between battles, players move from planet to planet, battling more droids, crushing blockades, completing missions to turn the tide of war, and facing off against iconic villains.

mixed
Pros
- Strong Star Wars theme and character synergy

Cons
- Board and map artwork/graphic design feel underwhelming for a Star Wars theme
- Limited difficulty options beyond adding missions; no simultaneous multi-villain campaigns
- Price point $60 may be high for casual gamers, and it’s heavily driven by minis/IP

Comparison games
- Imperial Assault
- Star Wars: Rebellion
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Cooperative Game — players work together to complete missions and manage threats
- cooperative play — players work together to complete missions and manage threats
- dice combat with card-based mitigation — combat uses dice rolls enhanced by card abilities to attack or defend
- hand management — seven-card hand limit; cards can be exhausted and refreshed to reuse abilities
- hand management and card exhaustion/refresh — seven-card hand limit; cards can be exhausted and refreshed to reuse abilities
- mission system with randomized draws and escalating difficulty — missions are drawn from a stack; difficulty can scale by adding more missions
- Pandemic-style threat management — threat meter increases as fires and droids appear; depleting the threat meter leads to loss
- reinforced draw and hand limit — draw-to-hand mechanic with a seven-card cap; excess cards must be discarded
- solo vs multiplayer parity — solo mode uses two Jedi with a marker; multiplayer scales with number of players
- two attack types: stealth and assault — attacks come in stealth or assault variants; you must choose one type per attack
