Ep 027: First Round Strategies - Embers of Muaat

We’re back at it with another First Round Strategy Guide. This time it’s everyone’s favorite hard-boiled eggs, the Embers of Muatt! It’s a tricky race that relies heavily on your ability to work with other players, but is given some handy tools in managing that task. Afterwards is our errata on the Etiquette, Elimination, and Kneecapping episode as well as the Kingmaking and Support for the Throne Roundtable from the last two weeks. It’s a LONG errata that hopefully puts a temporary close to this huge topic.

Ep 022: First Round Strategies - Sardakk N'orr

Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson are covering a very contentious race. People's opinions vary greatly on the quality and ease of the Sardakk N'orr, and so establishing a Round One plan can sometimes be very difficult. But Matt and Hunter are consummate professionals, and they see right through all your doubts and trepidations. FEAR NOT! The bugs can be conquered, it merely takes one stern of the heart, quick of the mind, and soft in the tummy. Join us afterwards for some lovely errata on the Naalu Collective.

Ep 021: House Rules and Patreon Announcement!

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.
