Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Han Solo, and Chewbacca are being held captive by the evil Jabba the Hutt. They're on his Sail Barge, high above the dangerous sandpit where the monster Sarlacc lives. To escape, you must defeat the Gamorrean Guards -- and the powerful Nikto and Boba Fett -- by pushing them overboard into Sarlacc's waiting jaws. Collect Jedi points for each guard you defeat. Then try to overpower Jabba the Hutt. The one with the most Jedi points at the end of the game is the winner!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
