Well, when I first saw someone playing Rebellion I thought it wasn't that good, I've played it and then I "saw the light" I think that rebellion got bad reviews because the Graphic art of the game isn't to good, most of the time it is 2d, nonetheless the fleet attack screen is 3d. Those reviewers only look at the lay-out, the graphics the sound and the gameplay. They don't look at the fun there is in playing it because they play it for like, a hour, and the review another game. The first time I played rebellion i didn't like it. It lasted about 5 minutes because then I found out that you could fastforward the briefing. It takes time to really get on with rebellio and like it. I took me ten minutes but a friend of mine took 2 hours before he liked it. And using rebed to create your own cards or load form th cards section makes playing rebellion more fun, because what is more fun than to see yourself commanding an entire fleet of stardestroyers well?
