## Description
Prepare for epic battles in a galaxy far, far away with Star Wars Miniatures! Released by Wizards of the Coast, this collectible game puts you in command of iconic squads, whether from the Galactic Empire, the Rebel Alliance, or other factions of the Star Wars universe. Each pre-painted miniature comes with its own stats card, ready to join the fray on modular boards that recreate classic or entirely new scenarios. The mechanics are a simplified version of an RPG system, where dice rolls determine the success of your actions in tactical skirmish combat. You build your army based on points, choosing from various factions and miniature rarities, ranging from 'Common' to 'Very Rare' and in different sizes, from 'Small' to 'Colossal'. The objective can vary, but generally involves defeating opponents to earn victory points. The game offers an accessible experience for those who enjoy the Star Wars universe and want to relive memorable moments or create their own sagas. Although the game had an extensive life cycle with various expansions and themed sets covering different eras of the saga, the base introduced by the initial 'Rebel Storm' set focuses on the classic trilogy. It's a feast for collectors and miniature wargame fans who appreciate the Star Wars theme without the complexity of other wargames.
