What this is
Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition is a grand strategy game in which asymmetric civilizations compete to rule a modular galaxy. Players explore and claim planets, build fleets, research technology, trade resources and promises, negotiate shifting alliances, and vote on laws that can reshape the table. Public and secret objectives reward more than conquest, so the race for ten points turns diplomacy, economics, and military threats into one connected space opera.
