Twilight Imperium 4th Edition Tutorials: Round One Play Example

The fourth video in a series of Tutorial explaining the basics of Twilight Imperium and its expansion. Today we run through a full round one. Including myself forgetting to do everything, which is why we love games like this.

This video may have been the must helpful TI video I’ve seen on KZbin. Nothing teaches better than seeing the rules in action. Thank you, Great job!

It is what I wish would have existed when I started to play.

[@ategrijpstra]

Totally agree. I definitely should have watched this before I played my first two games ... ;-)

[@beauverdiesen1440]

I’m playing my first game of Twilight Inperium tomorrow and these video’s are really helpful! Thanks you so much!

[@MatPress]

About to play our first game, and this was an amazing reference, Thanks a BA-JILLION!

[@selimdocquir]

Thanks for the video man ! My group just played a practice first round yesterday, so I wanted to make sure we got all the rules right and didn't mess up anything. This video was exactly what I needed !

[@jztiberius]

Good to hear. I made these for my game group and our first 8 player game which included 4 new players. It went pretty good.

[@jztiberius]

Haven't watched this in a while. Glad so many folks found it helpful. After my next game I will try to do some strategy as well.

haven't played yet but I have a question...if you lay down 10 objective cards to start the game ,,turn over 2 and play until 10 cards are turned. Is the game 8 rounds? thanks

[@DonVanPelican123]

Fyi, I think you can right click the system tile you activated and click an option to grab the planet cards for you so you don't have to search the deck. Also you can toss all your discards into the purple bag, including defeated units and explore cards. The mod is scripted to return those items where they belong. Also you can shuffle with "r" instead of having to pick up and shake the deck. You can draw cards using the number row. You can spawn commodities/tg, fighters, and infantry with 1, 2, and 3 respectively on the numpad. You can also split the 3x tokens into 3 1x tokens with "r".

[@kennybog9828]

THANKS A LOT BROSKI! you're the man

[@dynomite8561]

Still helpful to this day

[@eroc1024]

Hey neat video. Really helping map out my first game. What expansion is this? Does it make the game better or worse? Seems like that exploring planet makes the game move faster but looks kinda easy.

[@eroc1024]

one more question, did you mean to leave a command token on the board for the Hacan on the clean up step?

[@BigDuke6ixx]

is the Tabletop Simulator?

[@andretrahan9222]

Neighbors, scoring objective? Preparing for my first game in a couple of weeks. This video is amazing. I just don't understand this one thing. Don't you need to be in a same system or adjacent to be neighbors? How could you score the objective. You can play as if the players next to you are neighbors?

[@BrianWVickers]

I know it’s too late to answer this question for you now, but you’re correct it has to do with the game definition of “neighbor” which is another faction in a system adjacent to one or more of your systems.

[@arielpirante2]

can this software be downloaded from steam? is this a steam game?

[@pancakes2678]

its called tabletop simulator its about 20 bucks on steam

[@kennybog9828]

YEP! This is a steam workshop mod of the game called Tabletop Simulator.

[@ProfessorPicke]

i know it is just a tutorial game but oh man is it painful seeing you not use diplomacy on xxacha, or producing before diplomacy was played... if you used that trade instead of producing on home, you could have had the 6 influence necessary to take mecatol, using their racial ability to planet capture on diplomacy! a big thing about xxacha is if you can get construction played after diplomacy, as they can put a spacedock on the tile they take with the planet capture, and produce there as it won't have any tokens on it!

lol at the "oh nos!"
