About the game

What you do in a play session

Lando Calrissian joins Imperial Assault as a charismatic ally, bringing the swagger of a smuggler who now uses his resources to aid the Rebel Alliance. The pack adds a new Lando mini‑figure, exclusive command cards, and a modular skirmish map that drops players into a Lothal safe‑house. In the campaign, a side mission tasks heroes with investigating missing shipments and helping Lando expose corruption within Cloud City itself. Core rules stay unchanged, but cards like "Tough Luck" let you cancel an opponent's rerolled die, giving Lando’s team a sneaky tactical edge. In skirmish play, the new map creates a frantic race for hidden artifacts or weapons, demanding careful grid movement and strategic dice rolling. The expansion also references "The Bespin Gambit," so owners of that set can weave even richer storylines. Though not a standalone product – you need the Imperial Assault Core Set – Lando’s addition enriches both campaign and skirmish modes with fresh narrative hooks and tactical options. Its modest weight (2.33/5) means the complexity bump is minimal, keeping it approachable for groups already familiar with the system. In short, the Lando Calrissian Ally Pack offers extra cards, a new scenario board, and the chance to play with one of the saga’s most charming characters without bogging down the game flow.
