The Verdict
based on 33 reviews
“Star Wars: Battle of Hoth is my new fave Command and Colors game and so far my best game of 2025. This game just rocks, with it being highly thematic with great production values.”
Star Wars: Battle of Hoth bringt bewährte Command-and-Colors-Taktik stimmig ins Star-Wars-Universum und liefert dank vieler Szenarien und Kampagnen langen Spielspaß.
“If you have not got to play this, I cannot recommend this enough. You need to go buy it and then play it.”(14:02)
“For me, Battle of Hoth is my Game of The Year. I was hugely excited when I knew it was coming out and now I want to play all the scenarios and campaigns.”
“An easy-to-learn, quick-to-play, but tough-to-master tabletop strategy game that captures the feel and tactics of a large-scale battle while still respecting your time and tabletop space.”
“I think just get it like it is, and then yeah, there's some questions about how they would expand this.”(19:37)
“Battle of Hoth is an easy recommendation for anyone who wants to try the system. There really are few skirmish-style wargames that are easier to get to the table, with rules you can pick up quickly, but that still contain a good amount of strategy.”
“I had an absolute blast with this game. It is so much fun.”(13:38)
“Um, so it just there's a lot to offer in the box while also still being fairly simple to get into. I mean, I've played it with my 5-year-old with some coaching and she is a challenge.”
“It is a reskin. It is a good reskin. It is an accessible reskin in the form of Memoir 44.”
“That's what this game delivers above all - an existing, unchanged, very good system, applied to a new setting it suits perfectly.”
