BOARD GAME GEEK website rates this game at 7.7 . Their explanation reads: "Take to the stars and become a living legend in Star Wars: Outer Rim, a game of bounty hunters, mercenaries, and smugglers for 1-4 players!

In Outer Rim, you take on the role of an underworld denizen, setting out to make your mark on the galaxy. You'll travel the outer rim in your personal ship, hire legendary Star Wars characters to join your crew, and try to become the most famous (or infamous) outlaw in the galaxy!"

Newly arrived dice games include SHUT THE BOX (an old favourite) and  YAM SLAM that 'Board Game Geek' calls a cross between Yahtzee and Poker.

We've just learned this great/ easy-to-learn/ quick to play card game for 2-6 players
