Is there a better way to learn about grammar? The famously hilarious story-based word game returns in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Mad Libs.

Refreshingly, Monopoly: Star Wars Edition is not just another Monopoly clone – it’s actually a completely new game! Although it maintains many recognizable features from the original, there are also a range of brand new elements that completely alter the gameplay. You begin by picking a faction – the Rebels or the Empire. Thanks to the newly introduced factional cards, this decision will greatly affect how you play the game. You then compete with your friends to take over the galaxy, one sector at a time. To become a galactic overlord, you’re going to have to hone your forward planning and decision making skills. No one said it was easy being Emperor!

9. Risk: Star Wars Edition

Risk Star Wars Edition

Like the Monopoly game mentioned above, Risk: Star Wars Edition is not just a carbon copy of the well-known global conquest board game. In fact, it has next to nothing in common with the original version of Risk – but it’s still a ton of fun! This is a one-on-one (or two-on-two) game, pitting Rebel forces against the evil Empire. It’s played on a game board shaped like a TIE fighter, with three battles being played out at the same time. Can the Rebels destroy the Death Star before the Empire wipes out their fleet? Time – and tactics – will tell!
