This is a fairly easy game to play with lots of possibilities. For Star War lovers, the components are worth the price even if there was no game! I can't imagine why this game is out of print except for licensing issues or the production costs. It's very well thought out.

Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit recreates the 4-front Battle of Naboo from Star Wars Episode I. The box is loaded with miniatures (each figure is one solid color), including Battle Droids, Gungans, Kaadus, MTTs, AATs, Naboo soldiers, Two Queen Amidalas (one is a decoy), Naboo fighter, Darth Maul, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. The game play is fairly easy to learn. There are various strategies either side can take: Do you allocate all tour resources on the Naboo field? Do you focus on defeating Darth Maul? Do you try to take out the Trade Federation Battleship? The game is weighted in favor of the Sith and Trade Federation, so the more experienced player should take the role of the Jedi and Naboo side. Technically, you could win the game gambling everything on Anakin, but it's all a game of chance at that point. It's best played trying different strategies against one another. Game mechanics include cards which enable the player to take actions, and dice for combat resolution. The dice are color-coded and depict symbols for easy battling. The entire 3-D board is impressive as well, and a great landscape for the game. Under the Avalon Hill name, it is from the post-Hasbro acquisition period, but every bit as worthy as any classic Avalon Hill game. Whether or not you are the lucky winner of this auction or you can find it somewhere else, THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT is highly recommended for any combat board gamer.Read full review
