Twilight Imperium - 4th Edition

I’m looking to get a group of semi-casual players together to play Twilight Imperium 4^th Edition.

What:

Twilight Imperium is a giant Space Opera of a board game.  Imagine playing every aspect of Star Trek, from readying the photon torpedoes, to negotiating tenuous peace treaties with an amassing army on your interstellar borders, to voting to outlaw galactic research of xenobiology.

Fantasy Flight, the publisher, recently released this new edition of their flagship game.  I just picked it up, and am itching to take it out for a spin.

Who:

A group of 4-6 “semi-casual” players.

Casual in that we’re all here to have a good time.  In fact, some of the players may never have played Twilight Imperium before; and that’s great.  Fun and camaraderie are the primary objectives.

“Semi” in that while we’re all here to have fun, TI is a big game, and we like to play by the rules (or, as close to them as we can manage). 

When:

Saturday, January 19 - 10AM.

Again, this is a huge game (but don’t let that intimidate you, it’s super fun).  I’ve played 3^rd Edition half a dozen times before, and while 4^th Edition is very similar, there are some new wrinkles.  We’ll all likely be learning along together.  I expect the game to take approximately 8 hours – so you should realize that going in! (hence the early start-time).

Once we get one under our belt – I’ll probably try to schedule a rematch some 3-4 months later J

Where:

Probably at my house, in Tacoma.  I have a large table that can hold this beast.

Wait, what?:

If a big nerdy ridiculous space opera among some pretty cool friends sounds like your bag, by all means let me know. 

If this sounds interesting to you, here are some additional fun thing to check out below.  Don't feel obligated to learn the rules - we'll go over all of it come game time.  But, these are entertaining and will give you a good idea as to what you're getting into.
