Product Information

Star Wars Outer Rim was a game that took me pleasantly by surprise when I first played it. I wasn’t expecting much but it offered a surprising amount of depth and a sort of reminded me of a combination of Xia: Legends of a Drift System and with a few aspects of Eldritch Horror mixed in and then all wrapped up in a Star Wars Theme. The Outer Rim Unfinished Business expansion is here to make a new and added excitement. Return Of The Scruffy Looking Nerf Herder The expansion of the game, Unfinished Business, allows for players to add larger goals to their galactic adventure, such as becoming a Crime Lord. With that addition, the player must achieve goals that will lead them to one final reputation. Each reputation card in the expansion has a different set of goals that must be accomplished to retain the moniker the player was shooting for in the game. This addition is wild, and it adds a bit more content to the final experience. This was one of the cooler more personal parts of the Unfinished Business expansion. Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce Star Wars™: Outer Rim, a game of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers for one to four players! Completing a character’s personal goal not only gives you more fame, it allows you to flip your character card over and receive an even more powerful ability! The original bounty tokens in the main game were green and yellow and only accessible when you land on planets. Now, Unfinished Business puts the third token in play with an orange token that is only accessible when you land on a planet because it lies on a planet. The original two tokens laid beside the planet, but this one guarantees an encounter of some sort when you land on a planet. It still hides the tokens, in case you’re hunting a bounty, but it makes the token discovery experience far less empty. I only say empty because I didn’t know how good it was until it was included. The more bounties and potential crew, the better.

Star Wars: Outer Rim is a board game for one to four players centred around the lives of bounty hunters, mercenaries and smugglers operating in the furthest reaches of the galaxy. As one of these exiles, players will be able to explore the outer rim of the galaxy to take on jobs, hunt down criminals and embark on adventures to earn themselves renown. Because bigger is better, there's now a bigger table (if you like it, give some love to the mod there) The expansion also adds some fantastic new features that shake up how Star Wars: Outer Rim is played. With the new favors system, you’ll have even more opportunities to negotiate with your opponents. Play your cards right, and you may put other players in your debt, allowing you to call on them in a moment of need to give yourself a boost. If you and your fellow players want to change up how you win the game, you can utilize ambitions.

Across the Galaxy

Fantasy Flight’s tease for Unfinished Business revealed the expansion’s title and cover artwork, but stopped short of explaining what the box will actually bring to the core game. While Outer Rim generally attracted praise for its gameplay and use of the Star Wars universe, criticism typically concerned the limited number of events and cards in the base set - leading to calls for an expansion to add replayability and variety shortly after release. Finally, there are the favor tokens. These were fine, but we didn’t use them that much. They do encourage a little bit more player interaction, but they are really only useful in a 3-4 player game. If you are playing with two players, I can’t fathom why I’d ever help out my only opponent. But since they are modular, you can take them or leave them as you see fit. Final Thoughts: The other optional addition to the game is ambitions. If the player completes all four objectives on this sheet, they win the game! DescriptionFar from the shadows of Coruscant’s skyscrapers lies the dangerous Outer Rim. To many citizens, the galaxy's edge represents a hive of scum and villainy that is better left ignored. But to the scoundrels of the galaxy, the Outer Rim represents opportunity. If you can survive the harsh conditions of the edge of space, you may just find yourself emerging from the grime of the underworld as one of the most famous scoundrels in the galaxy.

A couple of weeks ago we announced our nominees for our 10th Annual Board Game Awards. Wow, has it really been 10 years already? I guess so. Well since than, we’ve put our heads together, tested games, and come up with a consensus. In Outer Rim, you take on the role of an underworld denizen, setting out to make your mark on the galaxy. You’ll travel the Outer Rim in your personal ship, hire legendary Star Wars characters to join your crew, and try to become the most famous (or infamous) outlaw in the galaxy! Encounter Step – If you don’t encounter anyone willingly, such as trying to secure a bounty, or you haven’t run into an organization along the space road that would fight your ship, then you must do another encounter via a Navpoints card. This card proposes a situation, and you must conquer said situation or pay the price. You will never end this three-step process without an encounter, so don’t try to weasel your way out.

Strange Encounters

There was a fair amount of excitement over Restoration Games bringing this beloved game into the modern day. Regardless of how you feel about apps and electronics in your board game, Return to Dark Tower balances feeling familiar and intriguingly new. The centerpiece tower brings a literal and figurative elevation to the game experience. Whether Dark Tower was an old flame or a new discovery, there’s lots to love about this game.
