Space Cats Peace Turtles

Twilight Imperium is a huge game and leaves a lot of room for interpretation in its setup. Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson lay out their house rules for setup, especially going into detail on what they've often referred to as their "Cooperative Galaxy Setup." There's also details on map variants, tournament rules, and giving the game more flavor.
 
After, in lieu of errata, we wanted to give you the pitch for our newly launched Patreon. We're incredibly thankful for those that have already chosen to support us and look forward to moving forward with everyone's cooperation. We're gearing up for GenCon and the tournament coverage we want to bring you, and this is the first major step in that process.

Let's talk about tech baby, let's talk about the fishies. The Universities of Jol-Nar are the master of tech, and that makes nailing down specific strategies with them rather difficult. Nevertheless, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson will certainly try to give you ideas on how to start a game with everyone's favorite cybernetically enhanced Chordata. And sticking with the topic of tech, the errata deals with last weeks discussion of the Nekro Virus.

The future is now! Automobiles! Engines of War! Microwave ovens! This week's episode covers all things technological, because it's time for Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson to discuss the Nekro Virus' opening strategies. Is our most situational faction ever in a situation to win? Yes, definitely yes. Also, there's errata on last week's Mentak Coalition episode, so stay tuned until the end to see what the community had to say.

Space Pirates are about as old as science fiction itself, and Twilight Imperium's version are one of our favorites! This week, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson explore the nuances of the Mentak Coalition's first round and early game. It's a long discussion about a faction that takes advantage of the metagame more than almost any other faction. After that, there's a LOT of errata; first for The Arborec episode from two weeks ago as well as for last week's episode.

We're officially recording in the New Year, and we wanted to take a look back at last year before we get any further away from 2017. This episode is a closer look at our Holiday Spectacular game, then discusses our important takeaways from the release of TI4 and the rest of the year. At the end of the episode, instead of errata, we introduce some of our goals for 2018 as well as announce a couple of projects we'll be working on throughout this year. Please search for us on YouTube to find the trailer for our Holiday game, and give us your feedback for how you would best like to get involved with helping us make GenCon Tournament coverage happen!

To ring in the New Year, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson want to discuss everyone’s favorite sentient kudzu, The Arborec. The focus this time is on the trials of round 1, how to properly snowball, and factions to look out for. After the guide, there’s errata about the Clan of Saar for our episode from two weeks ago.

This brief episode is a wrap up discussion of the holiday game we played with our dearest friends. Hear about the Xxcha, Letnev, Hacan, Jol-Nar, Yssaril, and Sol! We'll do an edited video of this whole game soon, so stay tuned!
