Re-implementation of Queen's Gambit. Not nearly as good, but fine as a game with kids.

Played at BGG Con 2015. I played the rebels and it felt way too easy to just run up the shield gen track and then blow up the death star. Perhaps with more strategy and forethought by the Imperials it may be more balanced. I didn't find it nearly as fun as Queen's Gambit that it has been compared to so I will continue to wish for Queen's Gambit instead.

Star Wars : Queen's Gambit for those who don't have the $$ to shell out or get lucky enough to get one in trade. We did so this went on the trade pile. But if you aren't lucky enough this game is not what it seems. That word "Risk" is tacked on to a game that nothing to do with Risk and more in common with Memoir '44.

Can't believe I am buying another Risk title... thankfully it isn't risk. (well informed before purchase) 19 June: Alas, it's basically a 2 player game and it just sits on the shelf
