4. Gameplay Overview

Risk: Star Wars Edition is designed for 2 or 4 players (playing in 2 teams). The game recreates the final moments of Return of the Jedi through three interconnected battles:

The Three Theaters of Combat:

• Attack on the Death Star: This is the central space battle where players maneuver their fleets (X-wings, Y-wings, B-wings, TIE fighters) to destroy the Death Star or defend it.
• Shield Assault (Battle of Endor): On one of the side boards, Rebel forces attempt to destroy the Death Star's shield generator on Endor, while Imperial forces try to stop them.
• Battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader: On the other side board, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader engage in a lightsaber duel, influencing the overall outcome of the galactic conflict.

Players use classic Risk dice to resolve combat and draw Empire or Rebel Order Cards to execute strategic actions. The objective is to achieve victory conditions specific to your chosen side (Light Side or Dark Side) by winning these concurrent battles.
