I don’t like playing the Yin. TI is not a war game, it’s a Cold War Game, you‘r actually trying to avoid conflict. The Yin are a scarecrow race, but other than the Naalu they are an aggressive scarecrow, you don‘t want to attack the Naalu, but with the Yin you don‘t want to be attacked, that‘s a big difference and a disadvantage. The make any profit from the Yin‘s abilities, you have to attack, which will costs you the much more profitable way of getting ahead by trade and exploration.

Sol is a strong and versatile faction but it is hard to pull a win with them. The reason is the specific dynamics of the end game. Your strength is obvious from turn one. But when the crazy end game rounds start, you have nothing special to defend yourself. You are easy to get ahead but also easy to get picked on. And while you try to argue why this or that hero should not be used to wipe out your 30 inf. from Mecatol, Naaz Rookah just score another relic.

I play this with my friend Luckily I still have a friend

My favorite

This is pretty much how we always played uno. Minus the plus 10s lol Stack 2s or 4s, 7s swap, 0s shift hands, and you can jump in on a play if you have the same number and color

So, that means this game is pure chaos and also a lot of luck because of the "Draw until u draw a card that u can play" rule, yea i know the original Uno was a bit of luck but this game multiplies it by 999. Also, wtf was going on Mattel's head when they put the +10 Card 💀

When you move the flagship with the commander, do the fighters move with the ship?

Excellent video, cheers! Always come back to this channel when it's time for our game

1 permanent victory point for taking mecatol rex? I thought it was you get one point per round you end owning mecatol?

🥳🫂👍🏿 Love a good house rule - thanks for sharing ❤️ I noticed the link no longer works - do you have a newer version you’re using or is there a way to get access to it?

🥳🫂👍🏿 I’m on a quest to collect every house rule on KZfaq and beyond - thanks for sharing - I’d love to hear about any others you use at your table like the mix of hex & squares or the weapon system you posted ❤️

Is a Creuss wormhole a Delta wormhole? Wormhole Generator states "create a Creuss wormhole" and our agent refers to a "non-delta wormhole". Which makes me think they are two different things, right?

🎉🎉🎉

Hey, thank you for the video. I have a question : what do you mean by "the meta" of a game ?

Your instructions were clear and very helpful, thank you!

I’m still waiting for a +99 card

Statistically the Letnev are the worst faction in the game. The reason being that you do not have any game changing abilities for the end game. No 4VP rounds for the Letnev. That’s why I play them very aggressive right out of the gate, psychotic bully style. Attack anything just because you can, cripple your neighbours by using Warfare to attack their only carrier. Most times, the other player will still not gang up on you, but just leave you alone. Use blackmail only for achieving an objectives, but keep attacking small fleets and low defence planets all the time, especially against mobile races that try to get away it, just because attacking them without an objective isn’t worth the command counter. Project your power with terror. The fact that the Letnev are super strong in defence is what makes this strategy more worth while then the Nekro or L1Z1X which are similar, everybody hates you, but nobody wants to spend the enormous resources necessary to stop you. If you are not in the mood being the Bully, play some other faction. The Letnev are called the Space Russian for a reason, lie, attack, lie more, attack more and never mind the wellbeing of your own people.

My hot take: Winning is not actually fun and kid of destroys the late game. The moment someone is at 8VP (or 12 in the long game), the whole dynamic changes and suddenly everything goes in order to stop him. These two rounds can be crazy and drag on for ever.

where did u get the cover?

Playing only my 2nd game ever having won my 1st game when paired with a more experienced player as the yol-nar. Your video is giving me confidence on how to move forward with the Federation playing on my own for the first time 😊 I'll let you know how it goes!

Does ignoring the law in play for a resource mean just for you or for everyone?

You didn't explain how commodities and trade goods can be swapped

I ordered it and it came today

Did anyone hear of this game from the Netflix show first

My agenda deck thought, and I haven’t been able to try it because I haven’t been able to play enough to get used to the regular rules. 1. Everytime you draw an action card, you also draw an agenda card. 2. In the agenda phase, whoever votes first gets to present a new agenda from their hand to be voted on (Argent Flight gets to do this first). 3. The player has the option of passing. 4. If it gets to Speaker, Speaker has to submit an agenda. 5. Still vote on two agendas, but Speaker gets one veto per vote (xxcha also gets their shenanigans) 6. Voting proceeds as normal. 7. Agenda cards can be traded. Thoughts?

Yes

Why am i only seeing this video now, KZfaq? This is a brilliant idea

I actually got this game today

I have a question, I have been getting into twilight imperium lately and some rules are just slowly clicking for me, so what I cannot find the answer to is, how do you sell your agent? I know you can share your commander with the alliance promissary note, but how does it work with the agent?

why is black the evil color?

I had a 30-minute argument with all five people I was playing with about the amalgamation skill. I showed them this video and countless other posts of people playing it this way, and they called me an idiot. Is there a place where I could find the FFG rule on amalgamation that is less vague?

I'm planning on getting the Marvel set and Venom expansion

i played this faction in my first game of twilight imperium yesterday and i got absolutely crushed

I think another great way of budget minis is using wooden board game pieces. you can reuse them, but they don’t show as much detail :(

POK if it is primarily about anything is about Mahact not the Nomad.

What we already OFFICIALLY know : When TI4 was released it was supposed to be the last and Final version of the game PoK was supposed to be the only expansion of that size ... it was mentionned that a future expansions my include officially printed Codex + few more of the same like Tiles but nothing as extensive as PoK ... (said by Dan) Dan didn't work on a Codex 4 for a while because he was "working on another project" ... people assumed it was TI4 BGA version ... but as time passes it gets more unlikely that was the reason. The new leaks from Dans implied things that looked different ... Scenario cards and some new components that looked like Tech but with a different layout. We know Dane is aware that some factions needed a bit morerebalancing like Arborec, we know he wished he could change a bit the agenda phase and the support for the Trone meta . So yes a smaller expansion with codexes and a few minor new mechanics and factions stuff seems the most likely for me

yeah, my own feeling was similar. I didn't watch the whole stream as I am just interested in their TI4 content, but it was just way shorter than what I was expecting. My guess is that we will get 6 scenarios, with two simple and two complex scenarios to match the two 'medium rated' scenarios. I think one of them, following TI3 precedent will be a fall of the Lazax situation and another as ancient history with a pre-fall of the Mahact (though that is probably reaching.). I share your hopes that the agenda phase will be improved in some way.

I am very stoked for an expansion. But I need some specific things out of it to really care. Some of the things you already mentioned. First, all changes from the codex in the form of official components. I spent so much money on this game already, I didn't want to invest even more into semi-official stuff that others need to print for me. If FFG thinks the game needed balance patches, I want to be provided by them directly. Second, an overhaul of the agenda deck, as you mentioned. In my last three game the notion, that this game would be more about politics than war, proved to be completely false. The galaxy would always be engulfed in ongions wars while the agenda phase felt almost like housekeeping. I went so far to organzie the deck beforehand and sorted many cards out to guarantee it would be somewhat interesting. With this, it worked, but it reduces the possible cards so much that people said "Didn't we already have that last game?" It should be a great balancing and narrative tool but mostly it just isn't. New factions: I personally don't need them because I can count the amount of plays I have on two hands. But I wouldn't protest if they were there. Other than that I am open to the ideas they might bring us. But please, please, don't make the game any more complicated with more systems and things to keep track of. TI4 isn't complicated to play, but in our last play it became a real issue and people got almost salty about the fact that you cannot possibly remember all faction abilities, techs, agens, commanders, heroes etc that every member at the table has. TI4 ist the most foggy board game in my collection and it happens regularly that people ask "Wait, why can you roll one die more?" or something like that and then their whole strategy doesn't work out because there are too many variables to keep track of which is just frustraing. More types of stuff like anomalies, relics, planets and such - great, gimme! But if I need even more space on my table because of new mechanics and systems, I'm going to check out.

Another possibility to consider is that it is a digital port for a platform like Steam. The presenter claimed they have been working on the project for years, and it would be a new medium for additional TI content (they've done the RPG and a roll-n'-write already). However, while this would be an exciting addition to the TI universe, I think this is less likely because of the significant developer resources that I don't think FFG has unless there is an external partnership with another studio/publisher. The most important message I think the brief announcement delivered was that FFG is continuing to actively develop new content for the TI universe. Yes, please!

Option 1: scenario pack / official codex print run Option 2: larger codex Option 3: full expansion Option 4: 5th edition ...or....OPTION 5: A whole new game set in the TI universe (a la Twilight Inscription and the new RPG) I would love to see a new TI4 expansion. BUT...I would also love to see a miniatures game like X-Wing or Armada set in the TI universe. Those games need to just move on from the Star Wars IP and join the TI universe instead, where they can start brand new without all the bloat that they have right now.

It’s an expansion, I have inside info.

Audio is fine so far

Ok, so for those who are not willing to watch a 41 min long video for a small information nugget, what's happening?

Naalu original promissory note is actually amazing, you just have to give it to the dude who’s being ganked by the vuil’ raith so that he can play before they do… they will literally sell their souls for it and use it immediately so they can preemptive strike lol

i didnt know i needed this... but i ... meow

Truly peak. Excellent video. It's nice when we find ways to gamify life. Helps ease the montomy and dread of it all.

you can't look at the others sheet with other races?

I have played 14 games, each game using a different faction. I have won 4 of those games using Arborec, Naaz Rocca, Titan of Ul and Saardak Nor. Arborec and Titans were my favorite. I love Cruiser 2s!

Can you please tell where you bought these protective cases for the cards?
