Star Wars: Battle of Hoth sees players take on the roles of the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance during the iconic battles fought at the beginning of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Using the award-winning Command and Colors system (seen in games like Memoir '44) players will have a hand of cards, unique to either the Rebels or the Empire, and will play a card each turn. Cards will let players activate units within the three different flanks of the battlefield, or grant certain units special rules. Each faction contains multiple different types of units with their own movement and attack rules, and players will have to use these wisely to beat their opponent.
To win the game, players will need to collect a predetermined number of Medals, which can be earned by completely defeating units or by complete the unique scenario objectives. Players also have the ability to recruit powerful leaders from Star Wars history into their army, which will add special cards into player decks that can change the course of the galaxy.
Also included are two full campaigns, which can see players play game after game in a strung together storyline, where one victory can help or hinder you in the next battle.
