You asked and we're here to provide! For months Dane has been leaving a trail of bread crumbs. And recently that trail led to some substantial components!

Hunter's out on tour this week which means Matt needed a new friend! Good for him he works with some pretty cool folks, including Nick Brachmann!

355: Super Embers of Muaat Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/06/12

It's a Muaat Guide! Embers of Muaat is one of those factions that some people in the community insist is "actually really good." I haven't been convinced, but they do have tools that can FEEL good if everything else went right. What does it take to get this faction from their bad start and to a game that feels good?Music provided by Ben Prunty.

354: Arcs Leaders - Upstart, Rebel, and Overseer

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/06/05

More Arcs! And this time, we've got Hunter around. He's been thinking about the Overseer for months now and is ready to get it all off of his chest. Meanwhile, EJ and Matt are back, this time with the Upstart and Rebel. It's a mix of Leaders that all seem to want to strike very early in different ways which honestly made it incredibly difficult to play them against each other so many times! Some games of Arcs are all about chapter 5 and it turns our some games the whole game gets played in the first

Sit your butts down and get ready to be schooled in the classroom by your god-tier Winnu player: THE MATT MARTENS. Jk Winnu is bad and we'll cover in depth the why and the how. There is a lot of useful information here for those of you that feel the determination to pilot them regardless of their ineptitude. It's one of our shorter super guides but it also makes a strong case so I hope you enjoy it!Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com Additional

351: Finals from a Champion's Perspective

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/05/15

We've got one more episode about the big Championship match we had back on May 4th. When the Finals finish, everyone involved is always so exhausted that it's impossible to squeeze in any post-game report or interview. So instead, we decided to wait a week and take a full hour to hang out with this year's winner! See, good things come to those who wait. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

348: Arcs Leaders - Agitator, Quartermaster, and...

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/04/24

It is finally time to dig in deeper to Arcs! The base game adds asymmetry to each player via the Leaders, and it's more asymmetry than many of us realized. Our excitement just wasn't enough; we had to go and recruit Shut Up and Sit Down's Tom Brewster to join us in presenting three Leaders and offering up what strategic insights we could muster. We started with three Leaders available in the Leaders and Lore expansion, the Agitator, the Quartermaster, and the Noble. Why did we start with expansion

347: Super L1Z1X Mindnet Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/04/17

This week we're back to our classic formula and doing a deep dive on one of our favorite aggressive factions: THE L1Z1X. This one has a fun energy and we really go to town on these guys, I wish we had more positives to say but I think spiritually L1 is too cool to be the best so let's just enjoy them for what they do best. Watch the Semi-Finals this weekend! Game 4 and 5 will be on Saturday and Sunday starting at 10AM central US time.https://www.twitch.tv/spacecatspeaceturtles Music provided by

2024/03/27

Uh oh, it looks like we've saved a lot of the "bad" factions for last which means all of these Super guides are about to get a lot more FUN. Mentak, the most autocorrected faction, is definitively COOL and NEAT, but can struggle to score points... Let us examine why!Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Beach episode time! This week we've taken the Galactic Council poll results and really ran with it. Instead of just hearing about what games Matt and Hunter are looking forward to we've basically asked everyone we know to submit their games. Get your pen and paper out because you about to get a big ol' list of interesting suggestions from people with excellent taste, also EJ is in there.Special thanks to Cole, Nick, Brooke, Ted, and Alita of Leder Games.

342: 8 Player Games

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/03/13

This week, we're tackling a much requested topic. 8 Player Games! Matt and Hunter have both done some research and are reporting on strategic differences they found in their limited experience. Lot's of talk is devoted to why we don't prefer the player count so prepare yourself. We've also got an excellent discussion with Tactic Blue on the upcoming Discordant Stars Twilight Imperium Homebrew Expansion that you'll definitely want to hear about.

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/03/07

More Arcs! We're having a lovely time learning this new game and before we start diving into guides for different Leaders and eventually getting into the Campaign expansion (where we'll spend most of our time), we needed one more episode covering the basics. We've talked about the limited action economy of the game and alluded to the fact that you are able to improve upon it, but it's time to discuss that in depth! Resources and the Court Deck are your key to improving your action set and taking

340: Super Universities of Jol-Nar Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/02/29

Let's do another Faction Strategy Guide! Universities of Jol-Nar are discussed a lot. They've been around since the very beginning, and in every edition of the game they've been a powerful faction. They have a -1 to combat and that just doesn't seem to hold them back! So what makes them good and how can we best harness their power?Music provided by Ben Prunty.

339: Twilight Imperium Second Edition Overview

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/02/21

Let's travel back in time to the year 2000! FFG was still a young company and Christian T. Petersen decided to take another stab at the design of our favorite game. At times, Second Edition almost feels like the version lost to time. It's quite simple in it's approach to the game and it chooses to add very little over the course of it's life. It's mostly just a refinement of the rules of First Edition, but let's take a closer look to see what that means.Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at
