Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition

Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition brings a new perspective to the classic strategy game. Players have the opportunity to choose between three iconic factions: the Rebels, the Empire and the Hutts, each with unique objectives.

The Hutts, meanwhile, must conquer 10 of the 13 resource-rich planets in their quest for power. One of the most exciting aspects is that the game features well-known characters such as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Darth Vader and Boba Fett, who appear on faction cards that players can use during matches. Strategies can be intensified with the use of spaceships, which add a new tactical dimension to the game. The details don't stop there: the game includes not only two Death Stars, but also sculpted pieces representing each faction, allowing up to five players to get involved in this galactic dispute. With updated gameplay that incorporates cards, ships and elements of the Force, Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition is a dynamic experience that maintains the essence of Star Wars, guaranteeing hours of fun and friendly competition between friends and family.

GAME mechanics

  • Influence / Majority in the Area - In Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy Edition, players must control the largest number of territories within a specific area in order to exert influence. This mechanic defines who holds power over strategic regions of the board, directly impacting the ability to gather resources and carry out more powerful actions. Imagine it as a game of star chess, where every move counts towards dominating the space around you.
  • Area Movement - This mechanic allows players to move their units between adjacent territories. Strategy is the watchword here; planning your moves in advance can mean the difference between conquering new frontiers or losing valuable ground. Remember that timing is crucial, almost like dancing among the stars, elegantly and with purpose.
  • Secret Positioning - During the game, secret positioning is used to surprise your opponents. Participants place their pieces in strategic areas out of sight, creating suspense and anticipation. It's like hiding cards up your sleeve, always creating tension and anticipation about when you will reveal your trump cards.
  • Data Scrolling - Dice rolling is an essential mechanic that determines the outcome of combats. Each player rolls their dice in the hope of obtaining higher numbers than their opponents, adding an element of luck and unpredictability to the game. It's like gambling in an intergalactic casino, where fortune can swing the scales at any moment, bringing glorious wins or strategic withdrawals.
