How to Play The Battle of Hoth?

Game Setup

Choose your side:EmpireorRebels. Set up the board representing the planet Hoth and place the units, generators, and objectives according to the selected scenario. Each side receives its specific cards, dice, and figures. Setup varies slightly depending on the scenario, allowing for a renewed gaming experience.

The game unfolds in successive rounds. In each round, players alternate their actions: moving units, attacking, playing tactical cards, and activating special abilities.
The Empire advances progressively with its powerful AT-ATs to destroy the Rebel generators, while the Rebels must slow down the enemy, defend their key positions, and organize the evacuation. Combat is resolved using dice and cards, offering a clever mix of strategy and tension.

  • Master the rhythm of the Imperial offensive

    On the Empire side, advance methodically. Protect your AT-ATs and avoid spreading out to maintain constant pressure on rebel lines.

  • Exploit the terrain to the Rebels' advantage

    Rebels must use obstacles, choke points, and defensive positions to slow the enemy and buy valuable time.

  • Play your cards right

    Tactical cards can turn the tide in a critical situation. Save them for key moments rather than playing them too early.
