Happy Star Wars day guys. I was wondering what to do for today and I remembered that over the weekend my sisters and I played a really fun star wars game. Its a simple game that I found in Darth Paper Strikes Back. It can be done with a skeet of paper and two (or even just one) pencils.
- Draw three X-wing fighters (triangles with "X's" on them) in one corner and three T-fighters (circles with lines on opposite sides) in the other corner.
- draw the death star in the middle of the page
- Draw asteroids around the page.
- Determine who is the Rebels and who is the the Empire
- the players take turns moving/firing by put the tip of their pencil on the edge of one of their star ships and rests their finger on the eraser end so the pencil stands straight up and uses their other hand to flick the pencil away from them so that the pencil will leave a mark on the paper
- If the pencil mark goes over an enemy ship the fired upon ship is destroyed; otherwise move your ship to the end of the mark by drawing the ship there
- If the pencil mark hits the Death Star your ship blows up; if it hits an asteroid you lose a turn
And that's it. Who ever shoots down all of the enemy ships wins. This is actually a pretty fun game, it is a good distraction from everyday life and is a pretty good game to bond over explicitly if you take turns drawing the page. My favorite is one my youngest sister made where the Death Star looks like a potato
(hence the title.) It is also fun to come up with variant ships and pages like the one I made of just a bunch of asteroids. Anyway hope you like this game and happy Star Wars Day.
