GAME The Board Room Plays SW Tabletop Games

Hey everyone! Been posting around on these forums lately in full Hype Mode for Rogue One, when I found a section of the forums dedicated to tabletop games! As the host of a board gaming show on my friends' channel, I'm always glad to see gaming culture.

Anyway, many of my favorite games are Star Wars related, so I figured it would be cool to compile them all in one place on these forums. So far I've been impressed with everything I've played. If you have any other Star Wars that you think are fun, let me know- I'm always looking for more!

First, and one of the first videos I've ever made, is a tutorial for Star Wars Rebellion.

Next, we did a three part series for Rebellion. Fair warning- we kinda screwed up some rules, so this isn't a totally kosher playthrough. Still, we had a lot of fun!

Next, we had a tutorial for Imperial Assault (probably my all time favorite game!) My hair was wet in this one for some reason.

We followed that up with a mission playthrough from The Bespin Gambit! Also, once Jabba's Realm comes in, we're totally doing a play of that too- and my figures are painted now (along with me being much better at incorporating a board cam).

Finally, we're currently working on a two part playthrough of the wonderfully misnamed Risk: Star Wars Edition! You can see part 1 of this series now!

Anyway, like I said, I'm always looking for any suggestions as far as the channel goes as well as Star Wars games to play. Thanks, and enjoy Rogue One this week!

edit: Added in the final part of Risk for this week!

 

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions! I really like Rebellion and Imperial Assault, though Rebellion is a bit complicated. Risk is actually really amazing, and cheap too! It's not a bad place to start, if you're just getting into gaming.

 

Our team recently played through the first mission of Jabba's Realm of Imperial Assault, now with painted minis!

 

Hey everyone,
Here are our final thoughts on Jabba's Realm. Stay tuned this summer for coverage on the (hopefully) upcoming small box, and as always, we may have some more Star Wars stuff planned for later in the year!
Warning- minor spoilers for Jabba's Realm in the video

 

I have not. Is it good?

 

Armada does look really cool. I know X-Wing is more popular, but I think it really comes down to what aesthetic you prefer.

I'd also totally suggest Imperial Assault. Those three make up the sort of Holy Trinity of FFG miniature games, though Imp Assault isn't a pure tabletop wargame, also mixing in some dungeon crawler and RPG elements.

Rebellion is a lot of fun, too, though that's more of a board game. As is the newish Risk (not like Risk at all, though).

 

Have fun!

I've played a little bit of X-Wing. It's a pretty fun game. It's definitely one of those games that can be deceptively easy to learn how to play, but equally deceptively difficult to master. The movement rules are pretty cool, though, extremely thematic. Plus, it's nice in that there are two coreboxes to choose from (original trilogy and new) and both are compatible with all other components- plus, there are ships from Rebels, Rogue One, Shadows of the Empire, and other Legends content. There's definitely a little something for everyone!

 

The new expansion to Imperial Assault and its accompanying packs look fantastic!


Also, the Rebellion expansion looks like it'll be really cool. Last week was a good week to be a FFG Star Wars fan!

Unfortunately, Subtrendy is no longer an active channel, but I hope you all are inspired to check out some of these great games! Heart of the Empire and Rise of the Empire look fantastic, and the new droids wave for Imperial Assault that came out yesterday is very exciting too. Lots of good stuff in tabletop world!

 

Ooh, that's a beauty! I'm jealous!

 

That's quite a steal. That's the beauty of tabletop games- not everyone knows their value.

I probably need to go check out more garage sales, myself...
