Disney Star Wars - Loopin Chewie Family Board Game - Loopin Louie

Product Information

I ended up with one left over copy that I originally thought I’d use for parts in case the first copy broke down. Players watch him flying around in circles, flipping, and diving, while trying to make the Stormtroopers fall. I was planning on getting my daughter Looping Louie for Christmas, but I now see there is a Star Wars version. Miss and he’ll hit a token and you’ll lose it, lose all 3 tokens and you’re out, the last player left in wins. Loopin’ Chewie is a simple one… It runs on batteries and an arm swings around with Chewie in a Millennium Falcon.

My 7 year old quickly figured out that there's an art to flipping up Chewie so that he exactly lands on your opponent's tokens in a way in which cannot be blocked. I really enjoy simple dexterity games like this, they're fun and require some good reflexes and the process of "figuring out the game" is great for younger kids.

Boardgamegeek had some pretty great mods like this classic eight-player version but at the time I was really into Fantasy Flight Games’ X-wing Miniatures game and started brainstorming ideas with a friend. It still, however, features actual strategy and tactics, making this a great game either casual gamers or for serious gamers who want some light fun.

My other notes about this game are: 1)You have to play with three players to make the game work well. However, the Rebels cannot even attempt to destroy the Death Star until they have destroyed the shield generator.

Some of them are new games, some of them are re-skins of existing games, and some of them are pretty obviously terrible – but some of them are pretty good!Failing to keep Chewie at bay will result in a stormtrooper being knocked down, and the last player with a trooper left wins.

It’s great fun for adults and children alike, so much that it was one of our games we got out for Christmas Day last year! My daughter is familiar enough with Star Wars to where that theme is fine but not such a big fan that I'd choose it over Louie, necessarily. I didn’t want to ruin the “chicken” discs by painting them and making them too thick too work so I used permanent marker instead and sealed them.Join the community and come discuss games like Codenames, Wingspan, Brass, and all your other favorite games! Tabletop gaming has (thankfully) not been immune to this phenomenon, with a variety of specialty and mass market Star Wars games released in 2015, with more scheduled for 2016. Depending on how the spacecraft is hit, it will go a little bit over the troopers, fly way up to come down at some indeterminate point in the future, or (for maximum entertainment value) possibly do some flips in the process.

Nothing broke down after a few months of playing with the kids so I was left wondering what to do with my spare.

He spins around on the arm in the middle, and you have to flip him out of the way with your paddles so that he goes after someone else's Stormtroopers instead. Product manager goes to BGG to see what “the kids are doing with Louie these days” and stumbles on my Chewie conversion post, loves it and convinces Hasbro big brass to make the conversion in time for “ Force Friday” in 2015.Other than the attraction of the Star Wars license, Loopin’ Chewie is, while great for kids in its own right, pretty much inferior to the original, which permitted four players (instead of three), features a Louie figure that’s better done than Chewie, and with retails for less than the Star Wars version. In the throne room, Luke tries to kill or redeem Vader, while the Emperor zaps Luke every now and then. In space, the Rebel and Imperial fleets seek to destroy each other by moving and attacking with Starfighters, including the TIE-spamming Executor Super Star Destroyer (with Empire’s fully armed and operational battle station taking shots as well).
