My first full day with Nathan saw a favourite of his (and mine) Star Wars Outer Rim with the Unfinished Business expansion hit the table.
I think the last couple of visits we’ve not managed to get Outer Rim to the table. So it was nice to get this to the table again.
Nathan started setting it up. And by that I mean he put the outer rim segments together before asking me to finish off the setup.
Setup and tear down is a doddle for me. I have seperate deck boxes for the various decks, baggies for the tokens and standees.
Nathan chose Boba Fett (again, as a Renowned Smuggler) and I went with Doctor Aphra (Living Legend).
Through out the game I felt Nathan had the credit advantage, and he did manage to upgrade his ship twice. Whilst for the whole game I never upgraded my ship.
Play was interrupted for a roast chicken thigh and Yorkshire pudding tea.
After the food break I seemed to edge ahead by completing two of my three ambition objectives before Nathan had completed one of his. But a late surge from Nathan meant we were both racing to complete our final objective and win the game.
Sadly a good dice roll by Nathan on a final job I needed to complete to get me the funds to trigger my final objective denied me that one more turn I needed, as he finished his final objective on his next turn after I completed the job.
It was a fun afternoon and evening spent with Nathan in the Outer Rim.
