The Civil War rages...
The Old Republic has fallen, and from its ruins has risen a formidable Empire, gripping the Galaxy with an iron fist. To maintain fear and order, a weapon of unimaginable power was created! The Death Star—a battle station theoretically capable of annihilating an entire planet, and no one in the Galaxy wants to test that theory firsthand. But there are brave souls driven by hope. For now, they’re just a handful of fighters stationed at a secret base, but if they can discredit the Empire, rebellion will sweep across the Galaxy!
Description of Star Wars: Rebellion (Board Game)
This is a military strategy game for 2-4 players, based on the classic Star Wars film trilogy (Episodes IV–VI) and centered on the epic conflict between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. You’ll experience the full scope of the Galactic Civil War, unfolding across a massive map featuring thirty-two systems—many of which you’ll recognize. The game also includes over 150 plastic miniatures—imagine the scale of the battles ahead!
Players take opposing sides of the conflict, choosing their faction. The gameplay options and victory conditions for the Rebels and the Imperials differ greatly, but either way, this is a game about managing fleets, troops, and capturing systems.
Playing as the Rebels, you’ll have access to dozens of soldiers, T-47 airspeeders, Corellian corvettes, and fighter squadrons, but these forces pale in comparison to the Empire’s armadas. From the start, you’ll feel the enemy’s overwhelming advantage. The Rebels wage what’s essentially a guerrilla war: capturing planets to bolster their strength, launching swift attacks to disrupt the enemy’s production or secure vital resources, then retreating back into hiding. To win, you must sway the Galaxy’s citizens to your side. If you can hold out long enough and build your reputation, you’ll inspire a fierce galactic resistance and claim victory.
For the Empire, things are somewhat simpler: you’ll rule the Galaxy through fear, relying on two key allies in this war—a mighty fleet and a vast army. You’ll command legions of stormtroopers, swarms of TIE fighters, Star Destroyers, and even the Death Star! To win, you must completely crush the growing Rebel forces by locating their base and reducing it to dust. Along the way, you can conquer and destroy entire worlds!
Despite the grand scale of events, the presence of leaders makes the game more personal. Just as your campaign’s success depends on military actions, the individual efforts of characters like Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, or Emperor Palpatine are equally crucial. Plus, you can relive iconic moments from the saga—like sending Luke Skywalker to Dagobah yourself or having Darth Vader set a trap for Han Solo!
Gameplay
The game consists of rounds divided into phases:
- Assignment Phase – Players issue orders to their commanders and send them on missions. Each mission represents a specific event in the Star Wars saga.
- Command Phase – Players execute missions, move armies, and battle each other.
- Refresh Phase – Preparation for the next round.
Who Wins?
As mentioned earlier, the Imperial player wins the moment they capture the system containing the Rebel base, dealing a blow from which the Rebels cannot recover.
The Rebels win if the reputation token and the time token align on the same space. This means you’ve garnered enough galactic support to undermine the Empire’s strength, making its collapse inevitable!
