416: New Expansion Components! (Revealed so far!)

This is easily one of the most important episodes of SCPT since the very beginning. This week Hunter and El Blasto sit down to talk piece by piece about every single new component that Fantasy Flight Games has revealed for the upcoming TI4 expansion, THUNDER'S EDGE. Buckle up because this is a long one and there is so much to talk about. Also keep in mind that not all of the components discussed in this episode are fully confirmed however, we tried our best to note each time we talked about the less "concrete" examples.

413: Codex 4 - Minor Factions Galactic Event

Today we're rounding out our Codex Four coverage with our final new Galactic Event (It's actually kinda old) Minor Factions! It's a super solid mode that I recommend whole heartedly to anyone who might be a little squeamish about these alternate game modes. It's not too much craziness and there is still plenty of room for classic Twilight Imperium strategy. My guest today is Jadiim Jedi who you might recognize from the Tournament 6 online Finals and the Portland Intergalactical finals from this year.

412: Codex 4 - Age of Commerce Galactic Event

This week we're talking about what is likely the goofiest of the new Galactic Events! It basically blows the lid off the tech game and enables everyone to lend each other into an apocalypse of SHARING. Our guest this week is El Blasto who was featured in the Finals of our online tournament this year and is also an accomplished streamer and commentator of our beloved game.
