Star Wars: Edge of the Empire
Edge of the Empire takes place in the Star Wars universe, with adventures on the edges of society. Players take on the roles of characters who are down and out: bounty hunters, smugglers, runaways. It can be combined with other books in the setting: Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny. The game also uses its own dice with colors and symbols representing difficulty and success/failure.
Star Crossed
Star Crossed is a game about two people who are deeply attracted to each other, but for some reason or another they cannot act on their feelings. The game uses a “tumbling tower” (think Jenga) to simulate the growing tension as players act out different scenes in the relationship and try to balance their feelings and their logic.
