Star Wars Epic Duels Board Game

I saw this game in the store tonight. It looked kinda interesting. Can anyone tell me what it is about and if it is any good.
Thanks,

Here's a review of the game.

I played with my brother a few nights ago. On the first game I was Maul and he was Mace. I killed both clone troopers then took on Mace and killed him. Second game I was Yoda and he was Dooku. I won again. He only had Dooku left and I had both clones and Yoda left.

You should get the game.

 

Epic Duels is the greatest board game ever (Unles you count ZOMBIES!) I play it again and again with my neighbor and lots of school friends who aren't even SW Fans. It's great fun to have massive battles or just one on one duels.

I wish they would make an expansion set for it.

 

My story's the same as yours, Sith_Lord_Yoda...I saw it in the store, and it looked REALLY good...I have yet to play it though

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Now I have a question about the rules. Can you Have two people playing but each controlling a "team" of like 4 characters?

 

Great game. Really great when playing with the drunken roommates.
There are rules to the game, but my friend make up our own rules most of the time...

 

I love the game also. Does anyone know any good strategies to use against Darth Maul and his seemingly endless SITH SPEED attacks?

 

..played this game this evening for about 4 hours..

Had 2 rounds with my friend..

First round: He was Darth Vaderw/ 2 stormtroopers.. I was Anakin and Padme...

I took down his two troopers pretty quickly, but in the end, Vader ended up taking home the victory..


Second round: I was Jango/Zam and he was Han/Chewie.. I was destroyed (though i really did like Jango and his rocket-retreat attacks)


Once you figure out the rules, this game is pretty fun....

 

My fiance hates when I use Yoda on her..lol. I keep knocking Vader on his ass.
Fun game. We paly it alot, picking teams randomly. We also play with two teams each alot. Best team I had once was Yoda and Palpatine.....very vicious!

 

I hae this game too
at first i thought yo could have as may cards in our hand so i got like 20 cards and used Mace Widu's attack that is equal to the cards you have

 

Havent played in a while but my favorite cards are Mauls speed attacks. I also like speacial cards that if blocked it does extra damage. Also Vaders card that does 50 damage (I think). My favorite map is the throne room since you can hide from blaster characters, my least ffavorite is geonosis because theres noting there but a pillar (probably couldve included scattered battle droids or a reek)

 

Maul is great for attacking, but kinda crappy for defense...

 

This is the best boardgame in the entire world!! Every time my friends and I get together, it's almost guarantied that we're gonna play it. This game is friggin awesome and everyone should buy it!!!

My favorite characters are Darth Maul and Yoda, although The Emperor has some pretty sweet special cards (like "You Will Die" which make your opponent discard his/her entire hand! ).

And if you want expansions, you can find alot online. Just do a google search for "Epic Duels Expantions".

 

Expansions, really?

Sweet!

 

Yeah, they're pretty sweet, they're unofficial though (failed to mention that before).

And I just tried that search I said to do earlier and it didn't give me many good choices. But here's a good site that I found a few months ago (i don't remember how).

Epic Duels expansions

 

Hey, um, it's kind of impossible to have "speacial cards that if blocked it does extra damage" because special cards can't be blocked in the first place. You might be talkin about one of the power attack cards. ?

And that vader card only does 20 damage, and only if it's not blocked (and if it is blocked, it only does 3).

Sorry, there's my perfectionistic side coming out.

 

I love board games - not enough on this forum, glad to see this thread. I've got to get this game. My current favorite Star Wars board game of all time is Queen's Gambit - is this comparable to that?

The best SW board game of all time is the Sarlacc pit one from the 80s right when ROTJ came out...

 

I don't believe you.

 

'tis true. But you do not have to believe me if you don't wish...

 

OK, I won't.
