What separates this game from Age of Rebellion?

System-wise, there is no difference. The primary difference is the theme of the game. "Edge" is more of a game dealing with smugglers and scouts and those who are living in the shadows. "Age" is more of a military-based game where the PCs are actual members of the Rebel Alliance. The games are certainly compatible (and there is, I believe, a third on the way that details more of the Force) and can be seen as facets of an overall whole.

Edge of the empire deals with smugglers and bounty hunters ect whereas Age of Rebellion focuses on the struggle between the Rebels and Imperials. Both are the same system and are during the same time period, they just feature different classes and such, the games can also be combined.

The focus, largely. EotE is focused on living on the fringe of society, with the Hutts and scoundrels. AoR is focused on taking it to the Empire. Both books have the same core mechanics, but with different focuses you will see different listings for ships, talents, even playable races. This is an unfortunate reality of the series: if you want everything, you'll need three core books with a significant degree of redundancy (rules and basics).

Not much. A few different species and careers but the majority is the same.

Got to start with the original. This is not a stand-alone game. It is just an expansion.

It is the original game. Only the pieces have been updated so that the characters look more like people. The rules and the weapons have remained the same.

2210 AD, legacy is a bit advanced and intricate for those that young. I'd stick to classic risk game if they have never played it before

Yes it is. There is a much different mechanic from Resistance in that you are only fighting for yourself. No team business. Also, if you're going to buy Normal Resistance, instead, buy Avalon. Wayyyyyy better IMO.

I agree, 15-20 hours for the main campaign, but it's also fun to replay with a different strategy: first run, go full stealth and low chaos, then replay with high chaos violence. The second run through is shorter, since you already know the main flow, but it's entertaining.

It's similar to other MMO style games. The game is designed for players who like to explore and quest along the lines of Skyrim. Instead of kill 10 bandits or collect 10 plants objectives the game has you in the role hero wandering around saving individuals, towns, cities and kings. The game is different from other MMO's in that all skills are available. All professions, weapons, armor and skill trees with enough skill points available (a lot of work) to fill them all out on one character. PvP is similar to GW2's eternal battleground open WvWvW with the 3 factions fighting over lots of objectives. ESO's open world PvP is huge, much larger than GW2 even with all 4 zones added together. A lot more fun than GW2 to me, controlling certain scrolls gives PVE bonuses to the whole faction. Fully leveling a character through questing takes you to all 5 zones in all three factions. That's a lot of questing so I can see why players who don't like to quest or enjoy story lines would get bored with the game.

Technically, you can play what is called a "Force-sensitive Exile." I don't believe that this section really wants you to play either a full-blown Jedi or Sith. It is my understanding, however, that a Force-based supplement is supposed to be published (much like they did with the Age of Rebellion supplement).

Race for the Galaxy is also a deck building game, so similar principles apply. This game is themed on space travel and conquest, so it different. I would not consider it better or worse, but both Dominion and RftG are good games. DaveBoardgames4us

One of the extensions has provision for military takeovers (it is not the first extension). I have played that only once and it seemed to skew the game too much toward focussing on military, but in a 4 or 5 player game, you could still win if you are the only one fucussing on consumption because the takeovers only apply, I think, to military worlds.

This is the base game. We play it without any add-ons, but I know there are some available.

Its more like a linear ish fps rpg. The only connection to Dragon age is the rpg and branching dialogue and romance. In my opinion as a whole its better than Dragon age. I loved the story and characters.

It contains all three versions. The original, warchiefs and asian dynasties. The same if you bought all three seperately. Nothing added and nothing removed when combining the three. There is a campain story that flows through all three but Asian Dynasties is the best with the more options and the acrive online multiplayer scene. There you can play with friends or on your own against computers, against other people or custom maps such as free for all.

I never played saga edition so I can't really answer that question. The game mechanics are very different from d20. So in that aspect they don't work together. However if you use eote from a knowledge aspect it can. It has a pretty detailed map of the Star Wars galaxy. As well as info of many planets. The antagonist section has a lot of NPCs that could be useful too.

Yes. Resistance is a team based game with hidden spies. In Coup, it is every man for himself. If you like bluffing this is the game for you. I own both games and if Coup didn't have The Resistance written on the box I probably wouln't connect the two.

I don't believe there is a difference, not one that I am aware of at least. It's a fun game though I can tell you that!

Intrigue is the natural progression from the base game. Most Dominion fans think Prosperity is essential. Seaside adds a delayed action element, which changes how the game plays. The new Dark Ages is almost "anti-Dominion," with its emphasis on trashing cards.
