Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars: Outer Rim

The game is excellent. The packaging on which the game came was horrible. I have sent and received used games with more care. There was no foam or padding when I opened the package, only the game. One of the corners got slightly damaged with transport. Not expecting this from a professional seller.

Me parece que es divertido, y si eres fan de star wars lo es más, realmente es fácil de aprender, y me gusta el sistema de eventos similar al de Arkham horror 3ra ed, tal vez el único contra es que puede no llegar a haber interacción entre los jugadores, pero lo considero bueno para aquellos que no les gusta el enfrentamiento directo.

This is one of my favorite board games to play. Once the rules are established, you and whoever you’re playing with travel around to different planets doing jobs, collecting bounties, or smuggling cargo. Every time you play is unique because the board can be set up differently, you can have a different player card, you can have a different starting mission, and you have options with ships and attachments. It’s really immersive and can be done in a short amount of time or a longer period of time. I bought the expansion pack and it opens it up even more. The one feature I also like is the ability to play against the, “A.I.” if you don’t have anyone to play with you at the time or if you were trying to understand how the game is played. There are a ton of options on how you can play and this has become one of my favorite board games. It takes a minute to learn but once you do, the ball starts rolling fast.

This game has come out of nowhere, like the Millennium Falcon sweeping in on Darth Vader at the Death Star, and become my favorite boardgame. I've converted a mass of friends to it and after one playthrough I ordered the expansion, Unfinished Business, which feels essential to the maximum enjoyment of the base game. It's cinematic, welcoming, and challenging. I don't know if I've played an IP-based boardgame that brought the feeling of the IP to the table as solidly as this game. I anticipate playing this game for years to come, and anxiously await any further expansions. The only caveat I offer is that the solo variant is surprisingly unbalanced, with anyone playing against a bounty hunter forced into a vastly unequal playing field and a dramatically unfair mechanical advantage.

Its fun, very thematic, anarchic, pretty heavily luck based, Dr Aphra is OP. Would have been better to not have some of the newer characters which I personally don't know anything about. I would much rather have had Mara Jade for example than some of the newer characters, but that says more about my era of Star Wars fandom than anything else. Heads up though, while the core mechanics are simple enough the wording of a lot of rules is very tricky and leads to a quite a bit of confusion, especially if you aren't familiar with how Fantasy Flight Games word things. Also this game is struck by an annoying game design habit of splitting the rulebook into two parts which just makes things confusing, I really wish developers would stop doing that, we need all the rules about one aspect of the game in the same place please! I'll be buying the expansion if and when that ever arrives since I had a lot of fun with this (and the game is designed to be easy to expand) buuuut my dad hated it because he 'didn't get it'. Probably because when it comes down to it, at its core, its not a very strategic game. For me that's fine, bopping around the outer rim doing deeds and rolling dice is fun. Please FFG, get that expansion to us!
