Imperial Assault (Star Wars) - FFG 2015

Not sure i liked the mechanics. They added a lot of silly this does that *lemony goodness* that holds lil logic.

You played the game? (at GenCon or at Spiel I guess?)

The game looks cool, but the guy in the demo was very bad. I was glad when he was replaced by someone who seemed to know what he was talking about.
From what I saw in the the demo clip, it seems very much like Decent with a Star Wars Paint Job. (as I have played neither you can take or leave my impressions where you would like.)

Another game I will not be getting due to having no one to play with. (Oldest child isn't yet 2 and the wife will not play anything with hit points in it.)

Not played it just watched as many videos as i could find when i discovered it. That's why i said i'm not sure. From the videos I don't like it and i love Star Wars.

I’ll get the game and every expansion. No matter what. The sooner I have everything the better.

Ever since my first HQ/D&D +-25 years ago I’ve been waiting for a SW dungeoncrawler with good looking minis.

I know that the game probably won’t be played a lot the next few years (definitely not more than 10 times a year) and my 2 kids are too young now (although my son (3,5 years old) likes Star Wars…he loves my Star Wars room/mancave).

For me, this is not only a game but also (maybe even more) a collectible. It combines something I love for over 30 years and a boardgame type I love for 25 years. If I don’t get this game I’ll regret it.

Someday I will have the storage space to store games that I don't get to play. And after that I will have the income to fill said space.
And then I'll take over the WORLD!!!!

Er... I mean... I have to go.

Released last week.....arrived today!
And f***: it looks fantastic.

In january no less than 7 (!!) expansions are coming; all a day-1 purchase.

How is it? I had to choose between Descent and Legend of Drizzt for a new dungeon crawler last year and I think I may have picked the wrong one given how people seem to be raving about Descent now (where were all these people back then?!). If this is just a reskinned Descent then that would be great, since then I'll know what i missed out on and it has some awesome models. Expensive though - how much cheaper would it be without the giant AT-ST model?

It's brilliant.

Buy it.

Play it.

[Sjeng]

They say it's Descent 2.5, smoothed out some flaws, and reskinned. There's plenty of good reviews at BGG.

How is it?

Best boardgame ever.
Period.
Fantastic design, great rules......after 25 years I don't think HQ is the best game ever. Imperial Assault blows HQ and every other game away.
