About this creation

Who will run faster through the maze of Rebel corridors?

Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker?

LET THE FORCE OF THE DICE DECIDE!

> I couldn't catch you in this part of the movie, but I will run faster than you!

> I don't think so dad. I know these corridors better than you!

> The Force is strong with you, but you're not a sprinting Jedi yet!

> Let the dice roll and we shall see!

YES! This is a labyrinth board game made by me, the eternal Star Wars fan, old trilogy only of course :) I got the idea when I combined my unused 48x48 base plate with the old Echo Base on the planet of Hoth. I always wanted to do something like this but never found the right theme...until now of course!
One stud equals one step and one game takes about 10 min to complete.
Really simple creation but so much fun to play and only one simple rule:

Roll the dice, reach your opponents corner first and you win!

With movie inspired props the game looks cooler! The DF.9 laser battery.

Radar observation tower. Great at detecting Imperial AT-AT walkers!

No board game without a genuine lego dice. Very bouncy and unpredictable!

Actually there are four possible paths through this maze that I know of at the moment. Only one of those is the shortest of course! Do you believe you can find the best way? I´m certainly not gonna tell you! Haha!

Quoting Lego Obsessionist At first I thought it was a luck-only game, but seeing as there's multiple paths, it looks pretty fun and brilliant! Very visually appealing build, too.
Yeah! Both fun, unpredictable and very even rounds :)
