I am over 20 years Star Wars fan, but also a fan of tabletop games. I was very pleasantly surprised by the game. It has, in my opinion, many of the exciting elements of tabletop games with the cost and complexity of a board game. I have so far played only with people playing it otherwise no tabletop games. The rules of the game are very simple and the introduction to the game is facilitated by simplified rules the first time. The box contains everything you need to a loszuspielen. The miniatures are as already painted and the assembly of the game was done quickly. The base box contains but per party ships worth about 30 points per side. A normal game is to rules in about 100 points. I am very satisfied with the game, and would be the total 5 Stars. There is a flaw which I find very disappointing for a starter, the game are 3 defense dice and 3 attack dice. That would generally not a problem when it would occur no more frequently in a normal game that required by a species of the dice 4 dice.
