WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“The Empire brought AT-ATs. You brought a game night.”

Hoth. Snow. AT-ATs. Rebels desperately trying to hold the line. You know the scene. Now you get to play it.

Return to Hoth expands Imperial Assault with a whole new Star Wars adventure, adding missions, heroes, enemies, and an extended Rebel-versus-Empire storyline. It is designed to be played alongside the Imperial Assault base game, making the two a great choice for a dedicated Star Wars game weekend rather than a quick after-dinner game.

If your group already knows Imperial Assault and wants more, this is the obvious next stop. If you are planning a bigger gaming weekend, rent both together and turn the table into your own little corner of the Star Wars galaxy. Just remember that Hoth is cold, the Empire is coming, and somebody is probably going to roll badly at exactly the wrong moment.

Good to know

Table space

Needs a decent-sized table — a coffee table will not do it.
Reading load

There is real reading involved — not the best pick if someone at the table is still learning to read.
Getting knocked out

Nobody gets knocked out. Everyone plays to the last turn.
Pausing mid-game

Easy to pause. If someone has to step out, the table survives.
Setup time

About 15 minutes of setup before anyone touches a piece.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Renting, answered

Can I rent Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth near Plattekill?

Yes — Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth is part of the Deep Space Family Games game shelf, available to rent by the night around Plattekill and the wider Hudson Valley area. Roughly 30 minutes out from Plattekill in every direction — delivery and local pickup only. Nothing to walk into.

Is requesting Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth a real reservation?

No — every button on this page is a request, not a booking. Deep Space Family Games doesn't run live availability, so we confirm by hand once you tell us you want Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth and when.

What happens if a piece from Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth goes missing?

Star Wars: Imperial Assault - Return to Hoth, like every game on the shelf, is counted against a written list before it goes out and again when it comes back, so a missing piece is a conversation with a number behind it, not a guess.
