Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Star Wars, miniatures, dice, missions, and a whole lot of things going wrong exactly when you thought you had a plan. Imperial Assault puts your group right in the middle of the action as Rebel heroes take on Imperial forces across a series of tactical missions. This is one for a longer game night and a group that wants to get properly invested. Comes in our custom-organized box and pairs with Return to Hoth if you want to keep the campaign going.

WHY RENT THIS ONE

Why it's worth a spot on your weekend

“May the best-laid battle plan survive the dice.”

Ready to take a trip to a galaxy far, far away without leaving the vacation rental? Imperial Assault drops your group right into the Star Wars universe with miniature figures, tactical missions, dice rolls, heroes, villains, and plenty of opportunities for a carefully laid plan to go completely sideways. One player can take on the Imperial forces while the others lead Rebel heroes through missions that feel more like a Star Wars adventure than a traditional board game.

This is a great centerpiece for a family game weekend with older kids, teens, and adults who want something they can really sink their teeth into. It is longer and more involved than our casual family games, so this is the one to pull out after dinner, clear some table space, and settle in. And if everyone is still saying "just one more mission" when the night is supposed to be over, we have Return to Hoth available too. May the Force be with your dice.

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 near Plattekill?

Yes — Star Wars: Imperial Assault 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 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 and when.

What happens if a piece from Star Wars: Imperial Assault goes missing?

Star Wars: Imperial Assault, 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.
