5. Operating (Gameplay)
The game follows the core principles of Monopoly with unique twists inspired by The Mandalorian series. The primary goal is to accumulate the most Imperial credits while protecting Grogu.
5.1 Player Turn Sequence
- Roll the Dice: The current player rolls both dice and moves their Character token clockwise around the board the corresponding number of spaces.
- Action on Space: Perform the action indicated by the space landed on. This may include buying a Hideout, drawing a Signet card, or encountering an Imperial Enemy.
- Character Abilities: Each Character Ability card details a unique power that can be used during the game. Refer to your card for specific instructions.
5.2 Grogu's Role
If a player's Character token lands on or passes Grogu's space, that player takes the Grogu token. The player holding Grogu can then use their character's special ability in conjunction with Grogu's unique ability, as detailed on the Grogu card. Grogu's token remains with that player until another player lands on or passes Grogu's space.

5.3 Battling Imperial Enemies
The game features Stormtrooper, Dark Trooper, and Moff Gideon enemy tokens. Landing on an Imperial Enemy space or drawing an Imperial Enemy card may initiate a battle. Follow the instructions on the Imperial Enemy card and the game guide for battle resolution, which typically involves rolling dice. If an Imperial enemy successfully captures Grogu, the game immediately ends for all players.
