About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to bring the dark side to your table with Agent Blaise! This villain pack for Imperial Assault puts a tactical master and relentless interrogator in your hands, ready to give Rebel heroes a serious headache. Blaise isn't just a pretty face with a blaster; he brings a new set of 'Imperial Intelligence' Agenda cards, allowing you to spy on heroes and use their weaknesses against them at the most inopportune moments. Think 'Under Surveillance,' where you note their favorite attacks to counter-strike when they least expect it!

If you enjoy the main campaign, Blaise can be a terrifying opponent in any galactic scenario. But the fun doesn't stop there! For those who prefer more direct action, he can be added to your skirmish strike team, cutting off Rebel support with surgical precision. There are two new skirmish missions that take you straight into the shadowy corridors of ISB Headquarters, plus brand-new Command cards to surprise your opponent with unexpected tactics. And the best part? Blaise is a master interrogator, meaning he can make heroes discard Command cards, ensuring you always hold the upper hand. It's the perfect addition for anyone wanting more tactical options and a villain with a strong personality in Imperial Assault.
