    I’ve also really enjoyed this one. It’s cool that each mission is a episode from the show. Each villain feels very different as well. You can tell they went the extra mile to make this have as much theme as it could.

    Cody, thank you for spotlighting this one! The Clone Wars has become my favorite time period in Star Wars lore. Fun to see lots of references to the cartoon show in the cards and characters

    Love this game. Played with kids. I never would have thrown Pandemic at them (it would have put them to sleep...too abstract), but the Star Wars theme gripped them and kept them engaged. I also love that EVERY card has a different piece of art! We were making up our own stories as we went along based on the different troopers, ships and vehicles we were using. It was a blast.

    It’s so interesting what games have come from the Pandemic system. A lot of creativity with these cooperative games.
    You should check out the Andor series. It’s one of those rays of sunshine in Disney Star Wars.

      I actually did. Quite enjoyed it. I liked Rogue One, but all the other Disney Films are trash. Mando season one and two are good, as were the episodes of Boba Fett that dealt with Mando, but the rest of the series was garbage. Obi-Wan was really, really, weak. Anyway, that's my two cents.

      @@TheDiscriminatingGamer Totally agree with you. Lazy writing really hurt Kenobi and Boba Fett. Looking forward to Mando S3, hoping for the best. They've really shined with their new characters rather than the legacy characters.

      @@aquarius5719 You should watch that third episode. Every three episodes or so is a mini story arc. It always builds up to a climax, that is made better by the set up. At least see that third episode and see what you think.

    Jury is out on this game for me . Found it extremely Annoying not being able to get a move card on my turn for several activations .

      That's the luck of the draw. Any game with card draws or dice is going to annoy you from time to time. For me, it's part of a game's charm.

    Me, being bummed there are no good dudes-on-a-map games made anymore: "Yes, finally! That's what I'm talking about!"
    Cody: "In Star Wars The Clone Wars, 1 to 5 players..."

    What do you think about the difficulty dial by adding missions? That makes the game longer.

    • @TheDiscriminatingGamer
      @TheDiscriminatingGamer  Před rokem +1

      It does make the game longer, but I think that's to be expected. I like that you have the option of a tougher game - game length is the trade off.

      @The Discriminating Gamer yes but in cooperative games that is done so you win. It is a reason why you will take up defensive positions against yourself in cooperative games. 🥷
