Rise of the Dark Side, thwart the Empire's plans and prevent the construction of the Death Star

Star Wars: Rise of the Dark Side is a cooperative 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 Death Star.

Players must coordinate their efforts to recruit iconic characters, such as C-3PO, R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Admiral Raddus, and Han Solo, and organize their attacks to thwart the Empire's rise to galactic domination. Meanwhile, in a race against time, players must use the Force as they direct their rebel efforts across different locations across the galaxy, including Scarif, Eadu, and Jedha.

The main game board features a sculpted and pre-painted 3D bust of Darth Vader. Darth Vader commands the Imperial agents and his goal is to eliminate the rebels and make the Death Star operational.

To restore freedom to the galaxy, the rebels must defeat enough Imperial soldiers before the Empire can complete the construction of the Death Star or too many rebels fall in battle.
