There was plenty to talk about at this year's Toy Fair, but Star Wars was front and center at Fantasy Flight's booth. With new games and add-ons coming, there's definitely something for every Star Wars gaming fan.
First on our Star Wars tour was Star Wars: Rebellion. This epic war game sees players take on a side of the Star Wars conflict as they fight across the entire galaxy. “It's a two to four player, head-to head-style game," Cat Miller, International Co-printing Coordinator at Asmodee, told iDigitalTimes. "You can play as individuals or teams. Each person has a different objective. Rebels are trying to survive until the end of the game, causing as much sabotage and havoc as possible to the Empire. The Empire, they can build death stars and planets.”
If this sounds like one of those games that's going to take all day to finish, Miller said it should only last for about as long as a viewing of any Star Wars movie. “The rough play time is probably between one to two hours," Miller said. "It is not a marathon game. You will not be playing for 12 hours.”
Closing out the Star Wars portion of the tour, Miller moved on to the new ships coming in Wave 9 for Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures. While X-Wing has already seen expansions recently featuring the ships from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the new ships coming are featured in the hit TV series Star Wars Rebels. Also coming are some additional bounty hunters, like the Punishing One expansion.
When asked about any new expansions coming featuring Star Wars: Rogue One ships, Miller couldn't confirm anything. “I have not heard anything. I don’t have any idea,” Miller said.
All of the new Star Wars content from Fantasy Flight is currently listed as "on the boat" on the Fantasy Flight website. Expect to see it all hit store shelves starting some time in March.
