help Star Wars: Rebellion FAQ
How does the Rebel player hide the base in Star Wars: Rebellion?
The Rebels secretly choose a system and record it with the probe deck rather than placing the base openly on the board. The Imperial player must eliminate possible systems through probe cards, missions and physical searches.
How does each side win Star Wars: Rebellion?
The Empire wins by locating and destroying the hidden Rebel base. The Rebels win by completing objectives that move their reputation marker until it meets the advancing time marker.
Is Star Wars: Rebellion best with two or four players?
Fantasy Flight Games supports two to four players, but its central design is a duel between one Rebel commander and one Imperial commander. Team play divides each faction's responsibilities without removing the asymmetry.
What does the Rise of the Empire expansion add?
The expansion adds characters and missions inspired by Rogue One, plus a revised combat-card system. Many experienced players use its combat rules because they give tactical choices a more direct relationship to the units in battle.
