GenCon is THIS WEEK and we are absolutely flipping our lids. We’re bouncing off the walls and going crazy in anticipation. So what follows is a recording in which we bottle our excitement and present it to you, capped and labeled with just the right level of carbonation. We hope you enjoy as we indulge a little and discuss what we expect from GenCon 2018. Afterwards, Matt does some solo errata on last week’s Win from Ahead episode.

So you’re playing Twilight Imperium, and things are going GREAT! You flown ahead in victory points but now the board is threatening to violently attack you, and it feels like you’re so close to victory. What do you do? Today, Hunter Donaldson and Matt Martens discuss what to do when the tides of battle start to turn and when the lead starts to feel more like a burden. Don’t give up! Let us show you how to win from ahead. Then, despite this whole episode sort of already being errata, we give you more errata on last week’s “win from behind” show.

We're gettin' pretty weird today. Main Pod-Daddy Matt is out this week so that leaves Pod-Daddy Hunter to pick up the pieces. So instead of getting anything done Hunter recruits frequent guest Alex to just talk about a TI movie? Yep.
You love it when Hunter is in charge. You know you do.

And so ends our journey through all 17 factions of Twilight Imperium. It was a long road, but we came out the other side with a lot more information than when we started, and so today Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson have decided to analyze everything they've learned along the way. After discussing all of the guides, we'll discuss what's next for Space Cats Peace Turtles, and then, as usual, some errata! This time from the madness that was the Yin Brotherhood guide.

It’s finally time to settle the score and break down these booger-boys. What does it take to unlock their kamikaze potential? Join the only person qualified to help, JattaPake, as he explores the depths, and then afterward, someone will respond to your errata on last week's Hacan guide!

For every Peace Turtle, there is a Space Cat. For every Space Cat, there is a handful of trade goods. And for every handful, there is a table of people saying, “Wait, how did we let Hacan get so much money? Okay, that’s enough, no more trading with the Lions! Any trade with Hunter is an act of war!” Today, we hope to help you combat the intricacies of the Emirates of Hacan and find a path to victory. Afterwards, there’s a little bit of Agenda errata, and a couple of notes from our Trading with Hacan episode from last week.
