{"product_id":"battle-of-hoth","title":"Battle of Hoth","description":"\u003cp\u003eImperial forces have discovered the rebel base on the ice planet of Hoth. Can the plucky rebel fighters and their speeders hold off the massed stormtroopers and mighty AT-ATs long enough for the base to be evacuated?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/em\u003e. Game designer Richard Borg has applied his simple, clever wargame system (as seen in the '\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/commands-colors-family\"\u003eCommands \u0026amp; Colors\u003c\/a\u003e' family of games) to the battle from the early part of The Empire Strikes Back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basics of the game are the same as the others in the family. Players use their Command cards (one a turn) to manoeuvre and attack with their forces (models) on the board, rolling dice to resolve combat. They win a battle by destroying enemy units and achieving other goals. A variety of scenarios provide different set-ups and challenges for the players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/em\u003e setting provides the atmosphere and backdrop that history does in other C\u0026amp;C games. And a nice touch is the campaigns provided – playing a series of scenarios, where which one is next depends on who won the last one and players can gain extra resources for the next scenario before achieving the final victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a quick-playing crash, bang, wallop of a game like its progenitor, \u003cem\u003eMemoir '44\u003c\/em\u003e (from the same publisher), that is good fun to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a Commands \u0026amp; Colors fan, this is a smaller, simpler, faster game without the subtleties of its cousins. But hey, it's \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/em\u003e! If you're not, this is a good place to start, especially if the Force is with you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor 2 players, aged 8+, playing time 30 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBattle of Hoth\u003c\/em\u003e was designed by Richard Borg and is published by Days of Wonder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eBattle of Hoth\u003c\/em\u003e on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/444481\/star-wars-battle-of-hoth\" title=\"More about Battle of Hoth at Boardgamegeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Pevans's first impressions of \u003cem\u003eBattle of Hoth\u003c\/em\u003e are in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pevans.co.uk\/TWJO\/TWJO0254.pdf\" title=\"TWJO 254 - PDF, 1 Mb\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo Win Just Once\u003c\/em\u003e issue 254\u003c\/a\u003e (PDF, 1 Mb)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58429819912517,"sku":"910","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Battle-of-Hoth-cover.jpg?v=1782922494","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/battle-of-hoth","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
