Hopefully one that lets you eke out one more point along that victory track. If the secret objective you have doesn’t fit your strategy or playstyle, you can, at somewhat high cost, press your luck by drawing a new one. Each game, there are a total of 10 public objectives, randomly dealt during setup and revealed, one per round, throughout the game.Īnd while everyone jockeys for the same public objectives, each player will also have one or more secret objectives that could ask them to do something like construct a perimeter of space cannons, or maximize a certain kind of technology, or target and destroy an enemy’s powerful flagship. Until you manage, after these many hours, to be the first to scrap your way to a grand total of… 10 points.ġ0 points doled out stingily by a galaxy that wants to see how thin you’ll stretch yourself to erect a monument, corner an industrial sector, diversify your research, centralize galactic trade, or some other arbitrary goal. But unlike games where you build up an engine that lets you sprint past the opposition with a runaway combo, you will instead inch up this track one point at a time. How do you win this sucker? By making it to the far side of the victory point track before anyone else. There’s so much to discuss in this game that it’s hard to know where to start. Please excuse/enjoy the in-progress paint jobs on the pieces photographed. But if you get invested in the taut, strategic puzzle before you, the game can be some of the most fun you’ll ever have lost an entire day to. A single play can easily stretch to five, six, eight hours or more. Twilight Imperium, 4th Edition bills itself as An Epic Board Game of Conquest, Politics, and Trade. Following the Twilight Wars, the galaxy’s greatest factions emerge to fill the power vacuum and blah, blah, blah… space stuff.Īll kidding aside, the background story is pretty good, but it is nothing compared to the narrative that is about to unfold around your table.
Their loyal Winnarian stewards cower on the surface of a devastated Mecatol Rex, the former seat of galactic command.
