Saw this at McKay's today for $40. I knew you would have a video on it and I'm glad you did. I decided to go ahead and keep it there but the set up looks really awesome.

I had this game as an 8 year old in 1983. Loved it. I would play with my mom. We probably only played it a handful of times but I remember the game setup vividly. 1983 was a while ago. I do remember it got boring quickly.

You can’t knock out the Nickto until the gammorians are dead

[nelwoltz]

I remember this game having a barge that tilted as pieces came off the barge, so there was a strategic element as far as taking guards off the barge was concerned. That’s what made moving Jabba to one side or the other important.

I had this game but never knew how to play it back then.

[johningham]

oh my god this takes me back i used the sarlacc pit with my figures haha

[nickhydier]

That was kind of ironic when Han accidentally fell in giving his defiant statement to Jabba which he passed through 3PO in ROTJ. Sounds like a fun game!

[shimshambam]

You would think that Leia would be in the slave outfit, based on the time and setting of the game.

cool !got a good deal I've seen it but not paid attention to it. odd that the winner isn't the one who defeats jabba the 'board' makes up for the minis ; I never finished a zaxxon board game vid in which the players move zaxxon in a hex grid area. I also have a n epic duels game I haven't finished with decent looking minis boba fett is one of the best looking ones in that game.

[wolfpredator]

Seems like whoever made this game didn't like Lando.

[jeffreyscarbroughboardgame]

I have this game I got it at a toy show for 10$ I like the 3d board and cool miniatures

[TheVCRTimeMachine]

The idea was better than the implementation. The game was so boring we never played it more than 5 minutes. I can't believe you paid $15 for this. I gave mine to Goodwill and the guy laughed...We used it as a playset for our Kenner action figures.
