This review was hilarious yet very informative! High energy and entertaining. Great job! Personally I adored this game, as well! I had purchased Outer Rim late last year but after hearing about the expansion, I waited to play it. Turned out that although I don’t know what the base game was like before the expansion, I loved it! The solo A.I. decks are phenomenal! I know you haven’t tried it but they are exceptionally well-made. If you ever want to play and can’t get a group together, it’ll more than suffice. Glad you kept it at the end 😜
I doubt we will get Din as the developers have said that since it takes place in the reign of the empire and The Mandalorian takes place well after Return of the Jedi they probably wont do that, but fennec and zuckuss could definitley happen!
@@endf00 But didn't Din start out in the days of the Empire? We might not get his adventures from the series, but we could get him as an unknown bounty hunter, whose story we are about to "write" :).
@@Harry_Potter_and_wknd_fan I don't know.. he is like 40 in the series and appears to have years of experience. As an excuse to have him in this game, it's good enough for me :D
@stickandmud this! So glad somebody mentioned Zuckus. Also needing 4-LOM. I was really hoping Dash Rendar would be playable too; at least he is in the game though
"Let it fill your holes..." are we still doing 'phrasing!' ? I'm really digging the new AI decks' flavor, have experienced great moments with Ambitions that feel thematically on point, and struggle to believe that FFG actually nailed it with this expansion--but they did. Cheers for the tasty review!
As far as the favor tokens, don't forget that those can be a great bargaining tool for gaining a bunch of credits from another player who is swimming in cash, because transferring credits does not require being in the same space.
Oh man I used to watch your vids when I was CRAZY into IA skirmish. And this just popped up. I too have been waiting for the expansion. So glad to hear your thoughts.
@@noahgiss9800 On the contrary, it could be easily done; any expansion could add more planets tiles (remember they all match regardless the position) and make the map longer and longer until head and tail almost touch; Core worlds tiles would be x10 more important at that point; they could also decide to close it completely and 2 new core tiles at opposite sides of the circumference. We will never see this though, it would be a too large map for most family tables; much more likely we will see a 2nd and FINAL expansion which will add the RED contact tokens, the missing numbered cards, more ambitions, heroes, ships and more cards in general as the 1st did.
I have to say one thing - I'm sorry but I needed to pause this review after a minute. Because I felt something... the presence I haven't felt since... oh nevermind since when. You are a first-class Star Wars geek! And I just had to write it before I watch the rest of the review! I bought Outer Rim when it came out. I enjoyed it a lot, but I felt like the game needs even more variety, including expanded solo mode. At some point, partially due to financial reasons, I sold my copy. I stopped following the game. But something was missing in my life... almost like the holes in your heart - only there was a huge crater missing in mine... when I went to buy a different game I was surprised to see the expansion. Needless to say - I bought once again the base game and the expansion. And... oh wow - my space adventuring days in the Galaxy far, far away are back! I'm super happy to subscribe your channel, because it feels like we both very much love the same universe :).
Missing deep lore like: 4-LOM and Zuckus. I was stoked to see dash rendar and The Outrider but not playable is a bit disappointing. Having said all that I love what they have done with the expansion and am excited to get hands on it
This expansion is kinda similar to the 2 expansions for Fallout (board game). Adds more characters, more cards, more decks, more dices, changes the map, adds fast travel and adds personal goals. Is this a trend for Fantasy Flight? Anyway, do you think we'll get some other expansion in the future? I'm trying to decide if I build a custom box for the game + expansion or if I wait to build it when the game is "complete". Thanks and hugs from Brazil!
no idea whether they'll release another expansion. though there is still some gaps in the Databank deck. So they've certainly left room for another one...
Awesome review...loved the clips...I'm one (the only?) disappointed Zuckuss fan. If we do ever get Zuckuss we better get the Mist Hunter that's my favourite XWing ship.
yeah, though the thing with that is the G-1A Starfighter is already one of the starting ships. But I supposed they could add like a "customized" G-1A to the market deck to differentiate it from the starter ship.
It’s great! Adding a hyperdrive option to ships might increase player interaction and get you across the rim faster / perhaps with a hard skill test - so it doesn’t break the game either
I Remember Boba Fett killing Zurukis & 4 LOM Damaging inside Slave 1 with Thermal Detonator. They were trying Steal Carbonize Han Solo? (I think it was in Comics?)
Thank you for the great review! I haven’t played my copy yet but reading the rules I was very happy to see a favor system codified in some way but am very worried it can easily be abused. It seems to like most people will just constantly send favors to each other back and forth to make the game easier. This would especially be problematic in a three person game if they decide to just shut out the third player.
Glad you liked the review! In my experience the favors aren't that abuseable, as they can always be refused. usually if someone is being boxed out it's because they're winning. And again, it's an optional system so if you do find it to be a negative experience with your group, you can always opt not to use it.

Thanks! Glad you liked the video and even gladder you like the game!
I just got it, can't wait to try it. I hope next expansion is with Din, Fennec and Zuckuss
I doubt we will get Din as the developers have said that since it takes place in the reign of the empire and The Mandalorian takes place well after Return of the Jedi they probably wont do that, but fennec and zuckuss could definitley happen!
@@endf00 I bet he has done som bounty hunting in the Empire era!

Chopper and Hera, friends forever
Nice video, my copy is on pre-order in Australia, it should arrive within the next ten days!

Great video haha (and editing)! Looking forward to trying this out sooner than later
Enjoyed this video. I have ordered Outer Rim and will now order Unfinished Business after seeing this. Thx!
Glad it was helpful!
No Zuckuss? That really zucks

Your heart sold this game to us :)
Really creative review. Amazing job.

Also I forgot how entertaining you are!
@@cooperbuss1297 thank you so much! Glad you liked the review. We do have 1 new IA skirmish video we put out a month or two ago!
Love the enthusiasm!
I made a custom contact token and data bank card for Zuckuss.
Along with a ton of other custom stuff.
And I hope one day we will get to finish the whole circle for the game board :P
I think the core worlds kinda made that less likely

Unfortunately it will never happen, my reply here above.

Same. Zuckus and 4-LOM
It’s great! Adding a hyperdrive option to ships might increase player interaction and get you across the rim faster / perhaps with a hard skill test - so it doesn’t break the game either
Yeah thought that sort of also sounds like Hera's ability which makes you test tech to get some extra speed
What does the goal token do?

Great review 😁
