Star Wars: Outer Rim

Star Wars: Outer Rim is a fantastic romp across the galaxy hunting down bounties and upgrading your ship. I would compare it to Firefly the Game.

This is a great board game! I enjoy it so much, it may be in my top 5 games to play. There are a lot of things to learn to play the game, but fortunately the basic rules to play a turn are short and simple. What I like best about this game is: 1. Every play through is different and you personally feel your character's fame building. 2. It is easily single-player. You can play against an AI player, and a character's objectives or actions feel natural. 3. The AI can give you a run for your money (especially with the Unfinished Business expansion).

Overall, the components are sturdy and attractive. It will take a while for you to learn the system, then the speed of the game picks up. Every character you play has unique to it advantages, and you have to tailor your play to that. Additionally, every turn you have a chance to act as a spoiler to other players' plans by using Space Patrols to block movement, rearranging hidden tiles, or removing items from the market, so you have to monitor what the other players are doing as well as your own progress. There's a lot going on, and it's all in a Star Wars costume. Great fun.

Fantastic Game. We really enjoyed it that as soon as we did a practice/learn, we wanted to play it. And as soon as we did our first full play we cannot wait to play it again. BUT...you need that expansion. You will get bored of it after 1 or 2 games due to the low number of cards. The expansion makes it a vast game. It's just real fun. Watch the How To videos and Reviews and you will see why.

Very fun to play if you like star wars. Wouldnt recommend it to play if you arent. Very customizable to want you want to do in the game with all the different characters, ships and weapons. Worth picking up

In Outer Rim you play as one of the shadier characters from Star Wars, like Han Solo and Boba Fett in a battle to become the most famous criminal in the galaxy. You have to manage your reputation with the different factions while hunting bounties, delivering illicit goods, and performing various jobs to build your fame. In addition, you can encounter other characters from the series that you can either recruit for your crew, purchase services from, or get jobs from.

We've played three games now and each time has been a great adventure rich in Star Wars lore. No need to worry if you're not a hard core Star Wars nerd, you'll still have a fun time, but if you are a nerd you are in for a special treat with lots of little references to many Star Wars movies and series. The game itself is dynamic with many paths to victory that can range from peaceful goods runner to illegal smuggler to vicious bounty hunter! You can get something new everytime you play!!

I habe heard mix reviews of the game. For me, it gives me what I need. A flare of the Star Wars universe. Kinda like Firefly, but more ease of setup...navigating the rules...and the combining of named characters with my own smugglers. My gal Unicellia has Han as her co-pilot. What more can anyone ask for...besides a 6 dem...well, that's a tale of another colour.

This game does an phenomenal job of capturing the feel of Star Wars, using a sandbox-style of game play... and does it without an long playtime! The game hits on all cylinders for us!
