About this deal
Product manager goes to BGG to see what “the kids are doing with Louie these days” and stumbles on my Chewie conversion post, loves it and convinces Hasbro big brass to make the conversion in time for “ Force Friday” in 2015. I knew the X-wing mini would be too fragile and alternate minis wouldn’t be any better so my friend suggested using the Millennium Falcon.

My 7 year old quickly figured out that there's an art to flipping up Chewie so that he exactly lands on your opponent's tokens in a way in which cannot be blocked. I picked up a copy and the new version is fun but I can’t help being partial to my version, of course. It remains one of my favorite pimped games as everything came together and worked perfectly all the while requiring some different techniques.For the gameplay itself, I found the Luke/Vader/Emperor duel to be something of a third wheel – you can ignore it and still win, and I am not sure if the cards invested to win the duel are worth the bonus cards that win produces. Every time he flies by in his Millennium Falcon vehicle, he'll be out to knock another Stormtrooper off. I plan on making these “showcase” posts when I finish up a project but since I have a backlog of completed work already, for now I will be discussing some of my favorite games that started me on the this path. In this Loopin' Chewie game players try to protect their Stormtroopers from Chewbacca as he rides in the Millennium Falcon.
