Twilight Imperium 4th Edition: Probably the Best Boardgame Ever

[@MarvinMcDougle3]

Welcome to my hell of trying to get 5 other adults to set aside an entire day to play one boardgame :D

[@brianclarke9861]

I just started learning about the game and I love everything I've discovered, but now I have to live with my group never being able to play it...

[@na01jsn]

That's why this is only suited for kids below 12

[@markhatton7126]

Yeah I wish I could place once a month, but in reality, it is more like once or twice a year.

[@RickarRickani]

I found TI4 base game more a sort of King the hill type of game, with Mecatol Rex. Prophecy of Kings adds so much more replay ability and makes it a true 4X game. I had my 32nd game last sunday, i love the game with a passion.

[@ImperialGit]

I absolutely love, love, love this game, and I haven't even played it all that often. It's truly incredible and, like you said, an event when it hits the table!

[@InstaGamers]

Dude you definitely need to get Prophecy of Kings in there!! Your new favourite game will only get even better..💯 nicely edited and presented video by the way. Loved it!! Btw, where'd you get those wormhole stands from? I've only ever seen 3D printed ones.

[@TabletopDungeon]

I lasercut them on my CO2 laser ;) Sorry!

[@emotionalsuccess]

This presenter is world class and so few subs? I wish him every success!

[@TabletopDungeon]

Aww, thanks for the kind words! :)

[@emotionalsuccess]

I thought I was listening to a BBC presentation! ​@@TabletopDungeon

[@DeSoLaToR22]

Definitely agree , best game ever if you have a nice group to play with :D

[@barelyprotestant5365]

Welcome to the club, bruh.

[@SeanGeorge-r1e]

Nice overview

[@JacobWrestledGod]

I have this, gigantic monster of a game, but it’s so daunting, so I took out the space ships and use as ships in Dune imperium 😅

[@markhatton7126]

I love TI4 (I played TI3 too) and think this is a good review/intro. I will say, I think you are over stating the length of the game. I would say 8 hours as a usual time frame. Saying all weekend might scare people off.

[@TabletopDungeon]

I think 8 hours would be normal for experienced gamers (not necessarily experienced with TI4 I mean, just games in general). My group tends to be... not. So there's a lot of analysis paralysis ;)

[@markhatton7126]

@@TabletopDungeon Yeah, I played about a month ago with me, a very experience player and 4 people new to the game, who were all long-time gamers, and we did it in around 8 hours. Trying to teach this to non-gamers and get them to play it??? I couldn't imagine it really. I showed my brother the box and some the tiles and his eyes were glazing over. At this point I mostly am just blinging out my set and watching youtube videos, to feed the craving.

[@MalcolmReviews]

I'm in between of getting TI4 or Eclipse.. still not sure yet. Help! Lol

[@TabletopDungeon]

Eclipse is really just a space combat game. There's a little resource management, upgrading ships, and lots of dice rolling, but that's it. Once I'd play TI4, I sold my Eclipse copy because I just couldn't think of an occasion I'd want to play that instead of TI4. The only limiting factor is if you have the time to play TI4.

[@GGdeTOURS37]

We tried it once but we much prefer Eclipse > More actions, more battles and easier to play often! So we sold back TI4.

[@triplea657aaa]

I would say second best after Root, but TI4 is quite a great game.

[@victorhahs3798]

Pretty much my thoughts exactly! The gap between the two keeps getting thinner and thinner tho 😅
