They are:

  • Star Wars: Rebellion - best board game
  • Star Wars: Unlimited - best TCG
  • Star Wars: Shatterpoint - best miniatures game
  • Star Wars: Edge of Empire (Beginner Game) - best RPG

Do you agree? If not what would you pick?

I love the RPG. IMHO it works better if you import vehicle rules from Genesys (the two RPG systems are very similar). But either way, it's a great RPG game.

Have not played the others. I tried X-Wing back before the rules changes and thought it was a lot of fun. The amount of SW games is almost overwhelming. Quality seems very high just looking at them, but I see them very rarely played in my local FLGS. WH40K appears to be top dog. And of course MTG never goes away.

Anyone ever play the star wars monopoly? I have a monopoly collection and it's one of my favorites. The board is round, you collect planets and try to gather star systems. You can have fleets and battle over planets, etc it's the most different monopoly I have.

That sounds great - the Star Wars Risk is very different from the core game too.

If Rebellion is anything like the 90’s Rebellion PC game - and it sounds like it is - it’s fucking fantastic. I picked that up recently on Steam for like $5 and it’s still solid. I was obsessed with that game for years.

I have it installed so I can randomly play it every few years.

Only game I ever torrented, because I had bought it and lost it multiple times.

I am little saddened that Star Wars Legion got passed over for Shatterpoint but I suppose it's the new hotness.

I have the Star Wars version of Risk and Villainous but Rebellion is the big dog and difficult to unseat.

I am looking forward to the Mandalorian game.
