Description

Twilight Imperium is a sprawling game of space-faring races vying for dominance in the known galaxy. With 2 to 6 players, this epic game combines elements of civilization building, negotiation, and space exploration, set against a backdrop of intergalactic politics and war. Each player starts with a unique race, complete with special powers and abilities, and must navigate a modular board composed of hex tiles. As players expand their empires, they'll engage in a complex web of trade agreements, voting phases, and strategic alliances. With a playtime of 240 minutes, Twilight Imperium is a substantial investment, but one that's richly rewarding for fans of science fiction and strategy. First published in 1997, this classic game has been expanded and re-implemented over the years, but its core appeal remains the same: a deeply immersive and challenging experience that's sure to appeal to fans of complex, thematic games.
