Ep 009: The People Who Play Twilight Imperium

We’re digging deep into our group of players this week and detailing our history with Twilight Imperium Third Edition. It’s a less structured conversation than you may be used to from SCPT, but the main theme of this week’s episode is THEME. Let’s toss the strategy aside and talk about all the parts of TI that keep us coming back.

Ep 008: Third Edition Please Don't Go!

TI4 is shipping right ANY DAY NOW. And as we wrap up our final games of TI3, Matt and Hunter want to talk about their favorite mechanics that aren’t making the transition to the new edition. Our errata discusses some of your least favorite mechanics from Third Edition
And start submitting your favorite stories from games of previous editions!

Ep 007: Good Riddance, 3rd Edition!

We’re starting to branch into new territory, and this week Hunter and Matt seem to have trouble keeping this train on the rails! It’s time to break down all of the flaws of Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition and everything we’re happy to see being thrown out for the upcoming 4th Edition. And after some reminiscing, there’s a hint of “errata” on our Theoretical Tier List episode.

Ep 006: Theoretical Tier List

It's time! On this episode, Hunter and Matt set in stone their theoretical, totally-not-set-in-stone "Tier List" for all of the races of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition. Then, some errata for last week's Trade episode.

Ep 005: Trade

On the Finale to the pre-release overview series, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson cover the Trade strategy card and all the ways the new trading system excites them. After a lot of open-ended discussion, they finally wrap up their race introductions with a return to Xxcha Kingdom, Ghosts of Creuss, Clan of Saar, as well as introductions for Mentak Coalition and THE space cats, the Emirates of Hacan. And to top off an already long episode, this one closes with errata centered around our Technology episode.

Ep 004: Technology

This week is the Technology Spectacular! Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson overview the Technology Strategy Card, the changes to technology mechanics, as well as looking in depth at every single tech.
