Star Wars: Dark Side Rising is a co-operative card and dice game inspired by the events leading up to and through Star Wars: A New Hope.
In the game, players must work together to recruit rebels and prevent the construction of the ultimate weapon, the original Death Star. Each player starts with an individual board that indicates the Rebel cell they are leading: Intelligence, Leadership, Support or Tactical. The player boards depict the Base of Operations — Tatooine, Alderaan, Yavin 4, or Lothal — and team leader (starting character asset) for each player: Captain Cassian Andor, Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, and Hera Syndulla.
Players must coordinate efforts to recruit iconic characters, such as C-3PO, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Admiral Raddus and Han Solo, and organize their cells to thwart the Empire's rise to galactic domination.
The main game board features a custom-sculpted 3D Darth Vader bust that commands the Imperial operatives and actions with orders to wipe out the Rebels and to make the Death Star operational. Meanwhile, in a race against time, players must be one with the Force as they direct their Rebel efforts across different locations in the galaxy, including Scarif, Eadu and Jedha. To restore freedom to the galaxy, the Rebels must defeat enough sinister agents before the Empire can either complete construction of the lethal space station or eliminate too many Rebel assets.
Star Wars: Dark Side Rising will be available only in European, Middle Eastern and African (EMEA) regions due to licensing restrictions.
Star Wars: Dark Side Rising is designed for two to four players ages 10 and up with an estimated runtime of 45 minutes. The cooperative game includes:
If you loved Thanos Rising, you will love this. If you love Star Wars, you will love it even more. 'But it's just Thanos Riding with Darth Vader' I hear you say...well, it is and it isn't. Is it exactly like it? In playability, yes... In enjoyment, no. For a start, the difficulty is more challenging as the heroes are weaker than those in Thanks Rising, and the villains are a bit tougher...and harsher. Plus, whether so far we have just drawn really lousy cards or if it really is this tough, but it's harder to remove damage from the Death Star ? genuinely pleased with my purchase with birthday money. To recap, I'd highly recommend this to any Star Wars fan, and I would say to all Thanos Rising fans, give this a chance, the difficulty alone sets it apart from its sister game. I now am trebly excited about getting Death Eaters rising in the future
