В основном с друзьями играем в евро-настолки (стратегии на менеджмент ресурсов), но тут захотелось чего-то нового, и мне посоветовали Звёздные Войны: Внешнее Кольцо.
Я, признаться, не фанат мифологии SW при всей своей любви к фантастике. Мне гораздо больше заходят вселенные вроде Startrek и Battlestar Galactica. А Star Wars делают мало акцента на вещах, традиционно любимых гиками — наука, технологии, особенности устройства общества будущего. Вообще это фентези-сага о магии и пиратах, просто в космосе.
Однако, сюжетная настолка мне понравилась. Вы с другими игроками перемещаетесь на кораблях по космосу (который здесь представлен полукольцом) и попадаете в различные приключения. Плюс игры, в отличие от евро, в том, что ситуации действительно разные, неожиданные, каждая со своим сюжетным описанием. Минус ровно в этом же — после некоторого количества партий ты просто будешь знать все существующие карточки. Понятно, что такие игры выпускают под будущие дополнения. Но мы играем не очень часто и не всегда именно в неё, так что конкретно в моей компании хватит надолго.
В остальном классическая система навыков персонажа — прокачиваешь себе, например, силу, и дальше попадаешь в заварушку в духе: «На вас напали разбойники. Вы пытаетесь свалить огромный ящик, чтобы защититься от выстрелов. Пройдите проверку на силу, при провале получите 2 повреждения». Чем выше прокачал — тем выше шанс пройти проверку (это бросок кубиков), но всегда есть вероятность провала, даже если ты очень сильный. Всё как в жизни. Очень легко представить себе, что ящик оказался тяжелее, чем ты думал, или, например, развалился от первого попадания. Сюжетные тексты + воображение + компания друзей = классное интерактивное времяпрепровождение, нередко интереснее, чем видеоигры.
В первой партии я смог купить Сокол Тысячелетия и даже взять себе в экипаж Чубакку, но игру всё равно не выиграл. Уже хочется попробовать ещё.

News update: #Tigray Democratic Solidarity rejects HoF decision, threatens to boycott elections and similar ‘illegal acts’ if unresolved
Tigray Democratic Solidarity (#Simret) has called on the House of #Federation (HoF) to reconsider its decision to remove electoral constituencies in districts previously under the Tigray region administration, describing the move as “unconstitutional” and warning that it undermines Ethiopia’s federal system.
In a letter addressed to both the House of Federation and the National Election Board of Ethiopia (#NEBE), Simret said the decision constitutes an act that “undermines the country’s constitutional order, crushes institutional independence, and effectively declares ‘constitutional anarchy’.”
Citing Article 62 of the FDRE Constitution, the party argued that the House of Federation’s powers are limited to constitutional interpretation & the resolution of regional boundary disputes.
Simret further argued that boundary...

News: Armed #Tigrai Peace Force converge with Interim Admin in rejecting House of #Federation decision
An unusual alignment is emerging among rival Tigrayan actors after the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (#NEBE) issued a decision, in line with a ruling by the House of Federation, concerning five electoral districts previously under the Tigray regional state ahead of the 7th General Elections.
The Tigrai Peace Force, an armed group that has positioned itself in opposition to both the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (#TPLF) and the current Tigray Interim Administration, released a statement through its Military Council strongly rejecting the electoral board’s decision. On the same day, the Tigray Communication Affairs Bureau, representing the Interim Administration, issued a separate statement condemning the move as unconstitutional.
Despite deep political and military divisions between them, these & other political actors adopted strikingly similar...

A public demonstration was held on Saturday in Kobo town, #North_Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region, in support of a decision by the House of #Federation and the National Election Board of #Ethiopia allowing elections to be conducted in disputed areas of the Raya zone outside the administration of the Tigray Region.
However, internally displaced people (#IDPs) and residents who participated in the gathering told Addis Standard they were warned that failure to take part could affect their access to humanitarian assistance.
On 23 February 2026, it was reported that Ethiopia’s House of Federation had ordered the upcoming federal parliamentary elections in five electoral districts previously under the Tigray regional state to be conducted outside the Tigray administration’s oversight until the “ownership claim is resolved.”..........

News: #NAMA, #ADPM welcome House of Federation decision to hold elections in five districts outside #Tigray oversight
The National Movement of #Amhara (NAMA) and the Amhara Democratic Force Movement (ADPM) have welcomed a recent decision by the House of #Federation to conduct elections in five districts outside the oversight of the Tigray regional authorities, pending the resolution of their constitutional status.
In separate statements issued following emergency executive meetings, both organisations said the decision provides a legal response to long-standing questions of political participation and identity in the “contested” electoral districts, while also raising concerns about its implementation.
NAMA said it respects the decision, which followed communication between the House of Federation and #NEBE, & described it as consistent with the spirit of the Pretoria Agreement.
For its part, ADPM described the House’s move as “the beginning of historical....
