3:37 For the purposes of missions, both the hit and direct hit symbols represent 1 success. Lightsabers represent 2 successes.

[@lukerudolph880]

Now they need to make a clone wars version.

[@reihidezero]

I agree with you in that one I been hoping for it

[@kamb26]

That was probably the most clear concise rules video for rebellion. Now I can play.

[@lantinian]

My exact same thought after just watching a few minutes of it

[@salustianoberrios405]

Thank you. Now I can take this off my shelf.

[@spacecat3653]

How have I never heard of this game before this looks incredible

[@danieltravelstead]

It is! My favorite board game for sure though it takes 3-4 hours easy which removes a large portion of people who’d typically want to play it.

[@rode8173]

Howdy from Korea. Great video. I appreciate all your hard work. Cheers!

[@hartsyquinn2850]

Played it for the first time with my wife yesterday, we loved it!!
She wants us to play it at least once a week!

[@RollforCrit]

Is one person always the Empire while the other always the Rebels, or do you switch back and forth each week?

[@hartsyquinn2850]

@@RollforCrit I’m always the empire cuz siths rock hahaha
She would never betray the light side either

[@RollforCrit]

Until you convince her to join you in the dark side right?

[@hoser40k86]

Nice moon reference...now you should tackle the War of the Ring!

[@ceetee2001]

Thats no moon, it’s a space station!

[@erix4erix]

Thanks

Brilliant tutorial esp at 0.75x playback speed.

[@ScytheNoire]

This game has been out of stock in Canadian stores since April. FFG doesn't seem to be reprinting games, or very slow.

[@mikaelbrandt587]

Edit: I thought the whole thing was about the expansion, sorry.
The explanation of tactic values on leaders is incorrect (just about 6 minutes in). All tactic cards from both decks (7 each) are avaliable to the players from the beginning of the game (rebels and empire have their own version of each deck), and each player chooses one of those to play before each round of combat. The card is then discarded so you get fewer and fewer options until the last card is played, after which you get all the other ones back. This will take multiple combats so it's a strategic choice to select which card to play, and not just a tactical one.

[@stevecox4033]

His explanation for tactic cards at 6 minutes in is per the base game rules. What you are describing are the expansion rules for the new tactic cards that replace the old ones, which he explains at 13:48

[@mikaelbrandt587]

@@stevecox4033 I guess I was confused by the title, thought the whole thing was including the expansion.

[@stevecox4033]

@@mikaelbrandt587 No worries. He lays out all the rules for the base game first for those who don't have the expansion and then adds all the expansion changes towards the end.

[@DavidEBowyerJr.]

At about 15 minutes, it is stated that the structures survive another round so long as the controlling player rolled at least one die during the previous round. Does this mean that structure will be destroyed in the next round unless more ground units are deployed there?

[@maharai23]

That means each round you roll a die, Structures don't destroy. This rule was made to allow the Golan Arms turret to fight, even if other rebel units aren't present.

[@bobbystickel5107]

You have different miniatures than I have.

[@S0lstickan]

Sure its the same game then? And do you have it with or without the expansion? :)

[@CharlesHepburn2]

So... basically it's like an advanced version of Monopoly, right?

[@seriousnesstv7902]

Not even close

[@CharlesHepburn2]

@@seriousnesstv7902 so….. just like Munchkin mixed with Cards Against Humanity but with more randomness…. cool, I think I’ll like it.
