There's a Lego Star Wars board game! New for 2012, The Battle of Hoth game includes 32 LEGO Star Wars microfigures.
The Battle of Hoth - Lego 3866
Oh this is very cool! A new Lego Star Wars board game with microfigures and vehicles. Lego 3866 The Battle of Hoth is a new Lego game for 2012.
We're rather excited about the 32 LEGO microfigures included with the game.
We'd want this set even if it didn't have the added bonus of being a fun game to play!
We got this game when it first came out in the UK (before the US for some reason) and we just visited friends who also have the Lego Battle of Hoth game and are having fun with it.
Age 8+
The Battle of Hoth is the first Lego Star Wars board game. That's quite surprising given the popularity of the Lego Star Wars theme.
The game has a buildable board, buildable dice, vehicles (including AT-AT walkers) and 32 Lego Star Wars Microfigures! I can see lots of people wanting this game just for that amazing collection of microfigures.
The setting for the game is the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back.
"It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Darth Vader has discovered Luke Skywalker's secret base on the remote ice planet of Hoth, and Imperial ground forces are ready to attack!"
The Battle of Hoth is a strategy game for 2 players (you can also play a 4 player version.) One side is the Empire and the other side is the Rebel Alliance.
It takes 10-20 minutes to play a game of Lego Battle of Hoth so it's pretty quick for a strategy game - great for those just getting interested in the genre.
Pieces: 305
The Lego Battle of Hoth Game is due for release in the US in March 2012. Check the Lego store for availability.
Lego 3866 The Battle of Hoth is already available to order in the UK:
Buy from Amazon: Lego 3866 The Battle of Hoth UK
Buy from eBay: Lego 3866 Battle of Hoth UK
There are sellers there willing to ship internationally if you can't wait.
In the UK, the retail price of the Lego Star Wars The Battle of Hoth Game is £24.99. This would suggest a US price of $39.99.
This would make it one of the most expensive Lego games but it does contain 32 Lego Star Wars microfigures so it's not likely to be cheap.
The Battle of Hoth Game Microfigures
There are 10 different kinds of Lego Star Wars Microfigure in the Battle of Hoth, with duplicates of some to take the total count up to 32.
Microfigures fit onto a single Lego stud and are only two bricks tall - they rely on lot on their printing for detail. The Lego Star Wars microfigures in this game look brilliant.
