Star Wars: Rescue on Geonosis (2002)

About this game

(From the back of the box) On the arid, red rock planet Geonosis, the mysterious Count Dooku and his minions plot to overthrow the Galactic Republic. Obi-Wan Kenobi, on a mission from the Jedi Council, is captured after tracking the bounty hunter Jango Fett to the distant planet. In an attempt to rescue their friend, Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala find their way into the massive droid foundries hidden within the planet and then into the depths of Dooku's separatist stronghold. You must use the force and try to locate Obi-Wan Kenobi before the droid armies discover you and the count escapes...

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
