There have been some incredibly cool Star Wars tabletop games in recent years, which have mostly had one thing in common – they’re incredibly complex and tough to get to grips with. So what if I told you that Dark Side rising is not only an accessible, easy to learn game but one that actually very decent? I know, I was surprised too. Lulppold, Ross (2 April 2012).

Both these miniatures games do a fine job of allowing players to re-enact classic Star Wars space battles, whether you’re looking for something faster-paced like X-Wing or slow-burning like Armada. Dark Side Rising is a re-skin of sorts of the game Thanos Rising: Avengers Infinity War & The Batman Who Laughs Rising, almost as if this is a game that can be easily re-imagined to fit in various franchises. The thing that makes this version unique is the look of the game. In Thanos, you’re trying to prevent the Infinity Gauntlet from being completed. In Dark Side Rising, it’s the Death Star. The ever present Darth Vader just makes the game more oppressive. a b Veloria, Lorenzo (5 April 2012). " Kinect Star Wars review". GamesRadar. Future plc.

Assuming that the player whose turn it is has any agents left in their team by the time Vader has done his business, it’s time to roll some dice. Star Wars: Dark Side Rising comes with a set of colourful, custom dice that represent the four key areas of the Rebel Alliance (Tactical, Intelligence, Support and Leadership). Each colour of die has a different combination of symbols on with the dice representing different areas being better or worse at different things.

Of course, some of them are undeniably awful - Trivial Pursuit DVD: Star Wars Saga Edition has incredibly strong 2005 vibes, and 1977’s Escape from Death Star set a poor standard from the off. Others are simply straight-up copies of existing board games, such as the many, many versions of Star Wars Monopoly out there. However, some are prime examples of how to make excellent movie franchise board games to fill in gaps in the narrative or to let players live out their Jedi or Sith fantasies.Classic Risk sees players deploying their forces to conquer different territories of the game board, rolling dice against their opponents whenever they engage in combat with their infantry and gaining control of that territory should they win. The Star Wars edition includes an unusual TIE Fighter-shaped game board featuring the different control points of the Empire and the Rebels, with players choosing to command the forces of either side. The board game plays much the same as the original Risk, but the novelty of controlling Star Wars soldiers and ships to either destroy or defend the Death Star makes the experience stand out enough on its own. If you’re a fan of classic cooperative dice game, Escape: The Curse of the Temple, then Dark Side Rising should get your midi-chlorians going. a b c Tsukayama, Hayley (6 June 2011).
