Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a powerful saga of heroes coming together to save the galaxy, and this game is no different! It’s also the culmination of a fantastic partnership between one of the world’s biggest franchises and board gaming’s defining cooperative system. Our cooperative Pandemic System helps bring iconic Star Wars characters and stories to life - with our Jedi needing to combine Forces to stand a chance against unending waves of Separatist troops. Players will be on the edge of their seat with every playthrough as they fight for victory…and bring balance to the Force. The squad cards are a really neat addition that will delight diehard fans. Each one contains a different character or vehicle and the Stealth and Assault cards all feature clones, so familiar faces like Commander Gree, Fives, and Echo pop up frequently. We even found ourselves trying to keep cards that featured our favourite troopers. XCOM vibes, anyone? a b Steinberg, Scott (October 28, 2002). "GameSpy: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (GCN)". GameSpy.

Responsibilities in the real world all too often get in the way of game night. Star Wars: The Clone Wars includes rules for playing the game solo for those times when you can’t get the squad together in person. One-player gameplay is virtually identical in scope and time to playing with friends, which was important to the design team. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a powerful saga of heroes coming together to save the galaxy”, says head of Z-Man Games Sophie Gravel. “It’s also the culmination of a fantastic partnership between one of the world’s biggest franchises and board gaming’s defining cooperative system.”“Players will be on the edge of their seat with every playthrough as they fight for victory and bring balance to the Force.” EGM staff (December 2002).

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars – A Pandemic System Game, players choose from seven Jedi, including Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker, each with their own unique Force abilities. Across four epic scenarios, the Jedi must team up and defeat a member of the dark side like Count Dooku and General Grievous. Each scenario can be completed using different Jedi powers, squad members, and objectives, adding high replay value to every adventure. Solo rules are becoming more common in board games, and I see it as a great trend,” Ortloff-Tang says. “Solo rules give you the option to engage with the game even if no one else is around. They can also make it easier for a single person to learn a game before introducing it to others. And some people just really love playing board games solo on their own time at their own pace. All good reasons to make the game playable [for] one.”But as mentioned, all of these graphical touches, onscreen enemies, and blazing fast skirmishes come at the cost of its framerate. And truthfully, for a system as powerful as the GameCube, such framerate drops are not warranted by the level of eye candy displayed throughout the levels. Although realistic, the models are not overly detailed to the point of being impressive in any way. Animations are somewhat rigid, especially for human forms such as soldiers and droids. A lot of the models tend to have a generic, blandly shaded look to them, and the horizon is typically clouded with that ever-present wall of fog under which the landscape is drawn into your surroundings. Lewis, Cory D. (October 22, 2002). "Star Wars: The Clone Wars (GCN)". IGN. Ziff Davis . Retrieved August 13, 2014. The game is split up into two segments: vehicles and third-person Jedi fighting. The single-player campaign is played from the perspective of jedi Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Mace Windu, who pilot vehicles and ride animal mounts. The vehicle segments involve most vehicles from the Star Wars universe: STAPs, tanks, AATs, AT-XTs, and Republic gunships. The controls used involve primary and secondary fire, acceleration and a special ability that changes from vehicle to vehicle. The Jedi segments use basic lightsaber slashing and two force powers, which rely on a force power bar, lightsaber throw and force push. In all instances it is played from a third-person perspective.

Naturally, basing a board game on The Clone Wars animated series required research for every area of gameplay, from the planets on the galaxy map to the details of the players’ missions. “The first thing I did when I started on the project was to watch the whole series from start to finish to make sure it was fresh in my mind,” Ortloff-Tang says. “Over the course of the project, I ended up rewatching it a bunch of times, both for inspiration and just for entertainment. It was fun to immerse myself in that era.”

One thing that’s really cool about Star Wars Pandemic is that it has detailed miniatures for the heroes and the villains. Also, you can play the four scenarios with anywhere from 1-5 players. This looks awesome! Sophie Gravel of Z-Man Games said: Asmodee and Z-Man Games recently announced Star Wars: The Clone Wars – A Pandemic System Game (Star Wars Pandemic). This game takes the mechanics from the popular cooperative Pandemic System board games and brings the fun to a galaxy far, far away during the events of the beloved TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Players will take on the roles of famous Jedi like Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi with the aim of defeating the Dark Side’s forces including Count Dooku and Asajj Ventress.Kasavin, Greg (April 24, 2003).
