Take to the stars and become a living legend in Star Wars: Outer Rim, a game of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers for 1-4 players!
In Outer Rim, you take on the role of an underworld denizen, setting out to make your mark on the galaxy. You'll travel the outer rim in your personal ship, hire legendary Star Wars characters to join your crew, and try to become the most famous (or infamous) outlaw in the galaxy!
But it won't be easy since the warring factions of the galaxy roam the outer rim, hunting down the scum that have proven to be a thorn in their side, and other scoundrels looking to make their mark see you as the perfect target to bring down to bolster their own reputation. Do you have what it takes to survive in the outer rim and become a living legend?
In more detail, a game of Outer Rim takes place over a series of turns that sees players taking dangerous jobs, tracking down bounties, upgrading their ship, and more, all in service of gaining more and more fame. Regardless of the path you take to get there, your goal is to gain ten fame, which can come from a variety of sources, such as completing your character's personal goal, collecting on bounties and jobs, delivering illegal cargo, taking down patrols from the various factions struggling over the galaxy, and enjoying the finer things in life by purchasing luxury items with your hard-earned credits.
While the path to victory may be different for scoundrels finding their way in the Outer Rim, everyone starts from the bottom with a simple starship. Your player board not only tracks your fame progress, but also contains slots for your ship, your character card, gear, reputation, modifications, jobs, and bounties.
Customer Reviews
Fun, immersive feeling that you are in the Star Wars universe. The rule book was easy to follow. Components could use an upgrade to thicker cardboard (especially the ships).
I play almost exclusively solo. I heard the Unfinished Business expansion much improved the solo experience so I got both at the same time. The expansion is aptly named because it “finishes” the game. It doubles the number of cards. In a game where card-driven narrative is important, there needs to be a good variety so that the game doesn’t become stale or seem like the same experience over and over.
I love this game so far!! Highly recommended.
Great
pick up and deliver in a star wars theme. its a blast
I have given this game a couple of plays before casting judgement. I was hoping the problem was me, but it consistently has fallen flat. It's a sandbox style pickup and deliver game with minimal player interactions. It's a fine game, the mechanisms are fairly sound, but the small decks mean you'll see everything in two plays and the lack of player interaction makes the game fairly boring. It is a cool concept for story telling, but it feels under baked and pushed out for 'Solo: a Star Wars Story.'
Fortunately, it sounds like the expansion Silvestre a lot of these gripes, but I haven't played it.
What games do it better:
Sandbox, story telling: Western Legends
Pickup and deliver: Black Fleet
Star Wars: Star Wars Rebellion
