Fantasy Flight Games | Star Wars: Outer Rim | Board Game | Ages 14+ | 1-4 Players | 2-3 Hours Playing Time

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!

Bought this to expand my current Fantasy Flight Games collection (Currently own the Game of Thrones Base game and expansion). It’s such a brilliant game.The game is so intuitive and easy to pick up. The details on each of the cards are simple and easy to follow.I’ve only played once with one of my friends but I’m definitely looking forward to a full board of people. Even the Solo mode is intriguing to me.The way in which all of the cards work with one another and intertwine with the section of the map that you’re on blows my mind.I genuinely felt like a true Outer Rim occupant doing whatever it took to get by.Highly recommend this game for board game fans and Star Wars fans alike. Such a unique game expertly put together by Fantasy Flight.

Me and my boys have spent the whole summer addicted to this game - the rules are pretty intuitive and there’s great replayability. The artwork is great and draws you in; we’ve also now bought the expansion, which opens up further options. All in all, this was a fantastic find.

I love the design of this game. Its hard to explain but you have a lot of choice in your tunr as to what adventuerous adventures you should do.But it never gets boring or bogged down in rules.ANDYou can kinda play this game solo. it has solo rules BUT you don't even need AI to play the game.I normally run through a game solo to learn the rules but this one is teh first game i tried solo I thought worked quite well without the AI.Very much a recommend, can't wait to play the full game with other players.

Very enjoyable and easy to learn game. I was a little cautious with it being a licensed product but shouldn’t have been as the game plays really well and the Star Wars aspect just adds a nice flavour to everything. Looking forward to expansions as the game is clearly set up to be expanded. This is also the one slightly negative area where the game can be a little samey after a few plays because of the limited number of jobs but this is a very very very minor complaint and is more a sign of how much I enjoyed the core game as it left me wanting more. It’s a 4.5 for me because of that one negative but is closer to a 5 than a 4 hence the 5 star rating.

Such a great game to get on the table with 3 or 4 other players, the theme is fantastically presented you really get absorbed in your missions and uprades to your ship etc. Every game varies so replayability is high plus it's so obviously going to get expansions eventually in terms of extra ships / planets / characters. Not cheap to buy but with the high quality components and extensive replayability it will be a game you frequently return to and ultimately be great value for money.

Only played it once so far, with a couple of friends, and we all really enjoyed it. That was enough to see it's major weakness though, which will kick in once you've played it enough times - the game revolves around a central, numbered and sorted encounter deck. I think for me, after maybe 5 or 6 games I'll know it well enough for it to start feeling a bit stale.However, I think it'll be really easy to do expansions for this - they could literally just expand the encounter deck and add relevant cards to the other decks to support it.

Really enjoyed this nerf herding experience, although a little slow at first we soon got the hang of dashing around the galaxy taking bounties, cargo, building our ships up and boosting out reputation. A bit dauting at first to setup and understand, however give it a chance and you will love it. I know.Expansions may bring a little more into it as the amount of cards could mean similar jobs come round every game, more depth required there, however, as a game itself its greag fun and worth a shot
