Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition is an epic space conquest game featuring diplomacy, politics, and warfare. Players lead factions vying for galactic supremacy through alliances and military might.
No two games of Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition are ever identical. At the start of each galactic age, the Board Game is uniquely and strategically constructed from among 51 galaxy tiles that feature everything. From lush new planets and supernovas to asteroid fields and gravity rifts. Players are dealt a hand of these tiles and take turns creating the galaxy around Mecatol Rex. The capital planet seated in the centre of the board. An ion storm may block your race from progressing through the galaxy. While a fortuitously placed gravity rift may protect you from your closest foes. The galaxy is yours to both craft and dominate.
After every player has passed their turn, players move up the victory track by checking to see whether they have completed any objectives throughout the turn and scoring them. Objectives are determined by setting up ten public objective cards at the start of each game. Then gradually revealing them throughout the game. Each player also chooses between two random secret objectives at the start of the game. Achievement of which provides victory points, only for the holder of that objective.
These objectives can be anything from researching new technologies to taking your neighbour’s home system. At the end of every turn, a player can claim one public objective and one secret objective. As play continues, more of these objectives are revealed and more secret objectives are dealt out. Giving players dynamically changing goals throughout the game. Play continues.
