Edge of the Empire RPG: Beginner Game, RPG, Ages 14 plus, 3-5 Players

Everything you need to run your first SW adventure in one convenient package.

I wouldn’t pay more than £15 for this starter set. It includes a very short adventure (about 2 hours of play), basic rules, four pre-made characters, a few maps, and a set of dice (which aren’t great quality). All of this only fills about a tenth of the thin cardboard box.

Best intro box for a system I've seen, I have over a dozen boxed sets and while this lags behind Chaosium boxes in value, the introduction was well received by players and by the GM (me).

My 27 yr old nephew likes it. The items are good quality. Colors are vibrant.

This is a great starter set. Has everything you need to play a great game. The rule book is scaled down from the actual core book, so it’s not overwhelming to a person who is new to TTRPG. For an experienced player, the extra dice and maps and tokens are nice.

My only complaints are 1 it should have said beginner box (my bad for not reading the description), and 2 the cardboard tokens can rip why punching them out. But if you want to get into these Fantasy Flight Games RPGs this is a way to do it.

Star Wars: Edge of the Empire is a good introduction for Star Wars fan interesting in RPGs. The basic rules are introduced, but there is room for more advanced game play concepts to add for action. It seems to stick to classic Star Wars canon, so players should feel very familiar with the game setting. As I mentioned earlier, starting game play is very easy. It was the same feel as the original Star Wars RPG that West End Ganes did many years ago. I would say overall, it is a good fit for Star Wars fans and beginning role playing gamers.
