Force Your Way to the Center of the Universe in Talisman: Star Wars

Force Your Way to the Center of the Universe in Talisman: Star Wars
Board Game: Talisman: Star Wars
May the 4th is almost over for 2020 (at least here on the U.S. East coast), but before we start posting about Star Wars slightly less for the next twelve months than we usually post about Star Wars, let's close with an on-topic game announcement from publisher The Op.

Here's an overview of Talisman: Star Wars, another game created thanks to an ongoing partnership between The Op and Games Workshop, a partnership that has also brought about the release of Talisman: Batman – Super-Villains Edition, Talisman: Kingdom Hearts, and Monopoly: Warhammer 40,000:
Quote:
Explore the Star Wars galaxy through memorable characters, places, and events from every era within the setting of a critically-acclaimed tabletop game franchise.

Talisman: Star Wars allows players to compete in a circuitous race to reach Emperor Palpatine, collecting items of power along the way to confront the all-powerful Sith Lord or stand beside him as an evil apprentice!

Adventurers can choose from twelve playable characters to charge their way into the inner rings of the galactic game board. Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Rey, Kylo Ren, Count Dooku, and Obi-Wan Kenobi are among the custom-sculpted game pieces true to every beloved Talisman game.
Talisman: Star Wars retails for US$60, and it will be available solely in European, Middle Eastern, and African regions, similar to how The Op released Star Wars: Dark Side Rising in 2019. Just in case this restriction was unclear, the press release also states this: "This game will not be available in North America at any time."
