About the game
What you do in a play session
The Force is calling! If you're a fan of Star Wars: Imperial Assault, get ready to bring one of the most iconic Jedi to your side of the galaxy with the Obi-Wan Kenobi Ally Pack. This fellow, who spent nearly two decades hiding on Tatooine watching over young Luke Skywalker, finally emerges from the shadows to aid the Rebel Alliance. And what an aid he is! Obi-Wan is not just a master of the light side, he brings incredible power that will give any Imperial a headache. This pack isn't just a cool miniature (though it is!), it supercharges your campaigns and skirmishes with a new campaign side mission, two brand-new skirmish missions, and also gifts you with new Deployment cards, Item cards, and Command cards. Imagine the despair of the dark side having to face an experienced Jedi and his sharp tactics! With Obi-Wan on the field, your chances of success increase considerably, and the fun, oh, that's guaranteed! It's the kind of addition that makes you want to revisit your favorite campaigns or create new strategies to dominate the board. He truly elevates the game, bringing that epic touch that only a Jedi Knight can offer.
