Product Description

The silence of Hoth is broken as Imperial walkers advance across the frozen battlefield and Rebel forces race to defend Echo Base. In Star Wars: Battle of Hoth, players choose a side, command their units, and fight through fast tactical scenarios inspired by one of the most famous battles in the Star Wars universe.

Each turn, players use command cards to order units, move across the hex-based battlefield, attack with custom dice, and fight for victory medals. The game includes infantry, vehicles, special units, terrain tiles, scenarios, and campaign booklets for a deeper experience over multiple battles.
