I once convinced a friend for nearly 10 hours that I was only going to stay on Mecatol Rex for "one more round" - and then he could have it. When my mechanized infantry started piling up on the planet, it dawned on him that I was never going to leave.

Once I had a friend that was about to move into a system and I tried to convince him to let me have it. I offered my support for the throne card; which he took without a word. I took the system and fulfilled my secret objectives and a couple of public objectives in one round because of it. Jumped ahead of him even with the point I gave him. It's like he didn't think I would still get the better end of the deal

@@thomaswhite3059 - I think from a game-theory standpoint it’s always preferable to make a deal in which two people get an equal advantage over a larger group than to not make a deal at all. Now if one of them gets a way bigger advantage than the other, that might change the statistics.

My love affair with TI4 began with seeing this review a year ago, being brand new to the board game space. I had to have it, and purchased the 4th edition, galactic playmat and plastic fleet stands within a week. This was my intro to the board game world. And what an intro it was. It’s hard to explain to outsiders how you can have an emotional attachment to a cardboard box filled with plastic and paper, but the experiences this game contains are special. Getting together with 2-5 good friends on a cold day set aside especially for TI is euphoric . I have since acquired an extensive library of games, but Twilight Imperium is fat and away my favorite. No other game offers the breadth, depth and scale of varying emotions and experiences. I get to play it about twice a month, and would do it every week if I could. #hotforspacelions

[@atillakarman9298]

The same thing happened to me, but 9 years earlier, when then latest edition was the 3rd. Before Twilight Imperium I only played Settlers of Catan and Carcassone. Then TI kicked the door in and I was hooked. Hooked so much, that now I do own all 4 editions, with every expansion. We played one game of the first edition, with a handful of modules and it is just nuts. There are a lot of good games out there, but there is always will be a special place for Twilight Imperium.

[@workthroway283]

Thats exactly how i feel about Game Of Thrones 2e. I understand it has a couple flaws but its always my intro game and it was so amazing learning the game with some great friends.

Having played 6 player games of TI4 twice now, I can say it's pretty epic. But, yup, be prepared to commit at least one whole day. The earlier you can start, the better. Bring beer, order food, and settle in for a long haul.

Boy that sounds like a blast! That's what we used to do with D&D: everyone show up early with snacks, someone prepare a meal ahead (or order out), and play 8-10 hours!

I just wouldn't be able to convince anyone to commit to an 8 hour game, we play eclipse 2nd edition not because it's necessarily a better game But because it's easier to bring to the table and teach, our group are all over 60 so TI isn't an option.

This review brings back fond memories of playing TI3 in college. We'd sit in the dorm lobby and bicker late into the night. We almost never fought, just sat back, gathering technology and money, until the very. Then, as if from nowhere, six fleets would manifest as every player spent everything they had stockpiled. We'd actually do combat on an entirely different table, there were so many ships.

[@The_True_J]

18:19 back in November we had an experience like this. I had over extended myself and I was about to win. So of course the other players started to scheme about how to stop me. One player waited until all of my tactic tokens were spent. Then he brought his main fleet into my almost completely undefended home system. I had just 2 fighters and a destroyer. I got lucky and his carrier with 4 fighters was destroyed in the black hole he needed to get there. Still, he made it in with 2 dreadnaughts, a cruiser, a fighter and a ground force to take my planet. Hopeless right? Well, I thought so. My destroyer was able to take out his fighter, but in the first round he was able to take out my destroyer and 1 of my fighters. Then, in what can only be described as a miracle, he proceeded to miss every single attack roll while I landed 9 after 9 after 9. Eventually I was able to knock out every single one of his ships with my lone fighter. The energy at the table was insane.

I just played my first (two player scenario) game of TI today after months of my wife telling me about how much she wanted it and a week of her hyping it up after getting it. It took me a few rounds but we ended with a nail biting finish in which we both agreed I could have won if it had just started my attack one round earlier. There had been no combat up until then and I had her home system corned with one fewer VP in a single round. It was amazing! (also, the Xxcha Kingdom graciously recognized the might of the Mentak Coalition and, due to a long history of trade and ceasefire agreements, took on the former pirates as the new imperial bodyguards)

I got this game for Christmas about two months ago, and my friends and I love it! You should definitely get it if you’re thinking about it. I would recommend using the starter board for your first game, because it makes things easier. And don’t let that 8 hours scare you. That’s just your first game. After a couple games, you know how to play pretty well and things go quicker. Also, that hen thing with Mecatol Rex happens all the time now and it’s hilarious 😂, because we basically all threaten to kill the person controlling the planet if they take imperial, and all of us are really scared of taking Mecatol Rex, yet we eventually take it to do the agenda phase.
