Simple card game taking 30 minutes with 9 players. We modified start to have 4 saboteurs for better valance.
Well constructed but miss a layer of complexity that make the play to repetitive but not so challenging actions

Fun, immersive feeling that you are in the Star Wars universe. The rule book was easy to follow. Components could use an upgrade to thicker cardboard (especially the ships).
I play almost exclusively solo. I heard the Unfinished Business expansion much improved the solo experience so I got both at the same time. The expansion is aptly named because it “finishes” the game. It doubles the number of cards. In a game where card-driven narrative is important, there needs to be a good variety so that the game doesn’t become stale or seem like the same experience over and over.
I love this game so far!! Highly recommended.
Great
pick up and deliver in a star wars theme. its a blast
I have given this game a couple of plays before casting judgement. I was hoping the problem was me, but it consistently has fallen flat. It's a sandbox style pickup and deliver game with minimal player interactions. It's a fine game, the mechanisms are fairly sound, but the small decks mean you'll see everything in two plays and the lack of player interaction makes the game fairly boring. It is a cool concept for story telling, but it feels under baked and pushed out for 'Solo: a Star Wars Story.'
Fortunately, it sounds like the expansion Silvestre a lot of these gripes, but I haven't played it.
What games do it better:
Sandbox, story telling: Western Legends
Pickup and deliver: Black Fleet
Star Wars: Star Wars Rebellion
