Unlock!: Star Wars – Flucht von Hoth

About this board game

Unlock!: Star Wars – Flucht von Hoth is a 2021 game for 1–6 players with an approximately 60-minute play time, set during a patrol on the frozen planet Hoth.

Echo Base, a vital Rebel stronghold, has stayed hidden on Hoth for some time. The planet’s hostile climate offers the Rebels valuable cover and protection from the Empire, but it also demands constant vigilance.

You head out on a routine patrol with a trusty tauntaun, the hearty creature native to Hoth. After an uneventful morning, you stop briefly to let your mount rest and attempt to contact Echo Base with an update.

That simple communication does not go as planned. Heavy atmospheric disturbance prevents you from reaching the base, leaving your patrol separated from the Rebel stronghold and its support.

The setting brings the distinctive atmosphere of Star Wars to the table through a remote ice world, a hidden Rebel base, and the ever-present threat of the Empire. Hoth’s environment is more than a backdrop: its harsh conditions shape the situation from the very beginning.

With its focused scenario and cinematic premise, Unlock!: Star Wars – Flucht von Hoth places players in a tense moment between routine duty and unexpected isolation. The story starts with a familiar mission, then changes when communication with Echo Base becomes impossible.

Whether played solo or with a group of up to six, this Hoth adventure offers a compact Star Wars-themed experience built around:

• A patrol across the frozen world of Hoth
• A loyal tauntaun companion
• The hidden Rebel stronghold of Echo Base
• Heavy atmospheric disturbance blocking contact
