A rebellion vs. empire game set in the Star Wars universe. Players engage in tactical battles, political maneuvers, and secret missions across iconic locations.
Featuring more than 150 plastic miniatures and two game boards that account for thirty-two of the Star Wars galaxy’s most notable systems. Rebellion features a scope that is as large and sweeping as any Star Wars game before it.
Yet for all its grandiosity, Rebellion remains intensely personal, cinematic, and heroic. As much as your success depends upon the strength of your starships, vehicles, and troops. It depends upon the individual efforts of such notable characters as Leia Organa, Mon Mothma, Grand Moff Tarkin, and Emperor Palpatine. As civil war spreads throughout the galaxy, these leaders are invaluable to your efforts, and the secret missions they attempt will evoke many of the most inspiring moments from the classic trilogy. You might send Luke Skywalker to receive Jedi training on Dagobah. Or have Darth Vader spring a trap that freezes Han Solo in carbonite.
The first expansion to Star Wars: Rebellion is Rise of the Empire released in 2017. This expansion focused on adding characters, units, and missions from Rogue One. The expansion also overhauled the combat system calling the new system Cinematic Combat. The expansion was nominated for the 2017 Golden Geek Best Board Game Expansion.
