Now this one I do know!

I think they are the same folks who did the system based on Stanley G. Weinbaum's work (checked and is a different group but still awesome nonetheless: http://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/ff11/index.htm)

But at least I can make sense of the website! :) (damn wikis).

And I have officially lost my mind on this Star Wars project.

It all started because they are closing out the latest Risk Star Wars and I thought 'Damn, I can make a tactical fighter game from the bits for less than one expansion for the FFG game' and less than a week later I have more coming in the mail and am starting on large space tiles to break it out on.

If anyone wants in they are selling it for $18.08 at Wal-Mart online and Amazon is price matching it. I understand this is the cheapest anyone has ever seen it.

Now back to compiling my list of battles from the Galactic Civil War...it's gonna get bloody all up in here :)

Star Wars Risk is a fun game.

I've read mixed reviews of the game proper (its not really being Risk (traditional) the biggest complaint).

I just know that mini for mini you can't get that deal anywhere. I'm doing Capital ships as tokens and pulling planet tiles from Disaster Looms to match the planets from the Star Wars Atlas. Finding the rules from the issue of Star Wars Gamer magazine for Star Wars Silent Death looks like a good place to start.

No, it's definitely not Risk, insofar as the base game is concerned.

However, it's fun to me because it has several things going on at once. It reminds me a lot of the old game Queen's Gambit, which I'd love, love to have but is so out of print and in demand that you'll find copies for upwards of $600 online.

My daughter and I played it four times during Christmas break...all in a row. The Rebels won each time. The game is heavily in their favor, though winning is not always a sure thing. In one of our games with me playing the Rebels, she was decimating my forces. Last minute I was finally able to bring the Death Star shield down and managed to get one X-Wing next to her Death Star...and rolled a '6,' blowing it up. (I had maybe three Rebel fighters left, whereas I think you start with 40 or so of them.) LOTS and LOTS of luck, but that meant a game that was nail-biting and went right down to the wire. We liked it a lot.

I've bought a ton of Risk games lately that are 'themed' I guess is the right word and think they all read pretty good. Other folks seem to have a problem with them but with all the great bits inside you can't help but find some fun in there somewhere :)
