Review on ๐Ÿš€ Unleash Your Galactic Domination with Fantasy Flight Games Imperial Expansion by Steve Cypert

Your empire needs you!

Favorite game since I bought it a year ago. Two games in one and it eliminated my hobby cravings by giving me awesome looking thumbnails to color in. First game: campaign. A player plays with the glorious might of the Empire against 2-4 rebels who usually launch daring raids and spend most of the mission saving their lives (just like in Star Wars). Mission after mission the rebels are getting very strong and the empire is getting a little stronger. Then the empire wins in the end because the rebels can't handle it. It's like trying to save poor Khan from a bounty hunter while Boba Fett flies away on his ship. Mu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Second game: Shootout mode. Some similarities, but still it's a completely different game. You can create a team of whoever you want (some limitations) and then go head-to-head against a person in tactical squad combat. The goal is to earn 40 points by defeating enemy units and/or completing objectives. People complain that there are a lot of rules, but in reality this is a help. You have to keep in mind that there are two games here, so of course there are 2 sets of rules. To make the other two rulebooks easier and quicker to read, all sorts of unusual things are described in the rulebook. I have included photos of the miniatures I drew. Some of them are NOT in the main game, but all are either in the main game or represented by a token. There's a lot going on in this game. Long live the empire!
