338: Agenda Phase Mailbag!

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/02/14

We've both been in the process of trying to find new homes in Minnesota, which means it's time for a beach episode where we dip into our mailbag! Our patrons submitted these questions for our Agenda Phase segments, but this is a collection of, generally, more off topic questions than usual. That just means it's a good time to hang out with your friends Matt and Hunter. And no criticism! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

337: Arcs - Actions and Ambitions

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/02/07

More Arcs! It's getting incredibly fun starting to dig into the meat of this game. You can refer back to episode 333 to hear our Learn to Learn guide about the game, but now we're going to start getting more specific! We wanted to kick things off with a component episode where we cover the Actions in the game as well as the Ambitions you'll be using to score points and win. There's a lot to chew on and we're really only at the surface, so get ready for a lot of Arcs episodes to come. Music provided

336: Super Clan of Saar Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/01/31

Despite the chaos in both our lives, Matt's ready with another Super Faction Guide! Due to the wonders of Async, Matt's found a lot more opportunity to work on guides and this is one that definitely benefited from that since he got to play big meaty games with Clan of Saar legends TheDeftPiper and Imsen. This is a powerful faction whose strategy is more about pumping the breaks a bit so you aren't the premiere target at the table. How can you preserve peace when you show up to the party with your

335: Guide to the Prelims

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/01/24

The Prelims are already a couple of weeks underway and we're learning a LOT. This definitely feels like a new, distinct year for the tournament given the outcome of the majority of these games. So what does that mean for folks testing their mettle in the prelims or for people wanting to adapt to the newest waves in the meta? Let's take a closer look at what makes the Prelims of our tournament unique and what players can do to try and find success. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at

334: Winmaking Roundtable with Dane and Milty

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2024/01/17

The topic of "winmaking" is constantly evolving and changing. Every year we see tournament play handle shenanigans at the end of the game differently and it's nice to check in from time to time and evaluate the community. Today, we have two very special guests to help us in that endeavor! The designer of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition, Dane Beltrami, and rules guru and creator of Miltydraft, Milty!

333: Learn to Learn Arcs

2024/01/10

New Year, New Us, New Job, New Game, New Lease on Life. This is the beginning of hopefully a long series of episode covering Arcs by Leder Games! They made a game so enticing to us that Matt went and got a job with them. Today, we're just starting out by offering up advice to those interested in checking out the game and how to go into it with the right mindset. What kind of game does Arcs feel like to play? What is the process of getting better? What are the pitfalls in your way? Explore with

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2023/12/20

It's that time of year again! These Twilight Imperium factions have been out here all year running amok and making us look stupid because last year we did a really good faction ranking but you all played wrong. So we've adjusted some numbers and let you all contribute as little as we could possibly allow and now we have the true Definitive Ranking of all faction in the game. This time we mean it!

329: Hunter’s Journey Through the Qualifiers

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2023/12/13

Hunter has been playing in this year's Patreon Tournament Qualifiers since October. He's had about a half dozen games and he's finally made it through to the Prelims! It's good timing, because we always had this week's episode slated as his chance to talk about his experience, whether he'd made it or not! So what is it like to play in your own tournament? Do people treat you differently? Probably not, right? For TI tutorials in Italian, find Il Cap Games, mentioned in the show, at

2023/12/06

Who needs this? Well hopefully, you're someone relatively new to Twilight Imperium and a friend of yours has suggested you play Federation of Sol and you're looking to jumpstart your winrate. If so, welcome. You've made an excellent choice of faction because Sol is really good and we're here to explain why. Hopefully, you come out of this with ways to consistently do well!

326: Super Ghosts of Creuss Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2023/11/22

Matt's back in action! His last guide was for a fast faction that doesn't always have a way to close out games. This time, to shake things up, he's going with a fast faction that doesn't always have a way to close out games! It's the Ghosts of Creuss and actually they're maybe a little bit better than Cabal but that's just because you get more blue tech, probably... Music provided by Ben Prunty.

We're about halfway through this years Qualifiers in the tournament and it seemed high time we celebrate the people that make the tournament a pleasurable viewing experience! Over the years, more and more amazing folks have taken on the task of streaming games of Twilight Imperium and it takes such an immense amount of effort that there's honestly not enough praise we could heap upon them. So for now, here are their delightful voices to brighten your day... 20:13 BigAlCupaChino

324: System Tile Tier List

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2023/11/08

You are not prepared for this one. We have 82 system tiles in Twilight Imperium. In theory, the visuals matter quite a lot for this discussion or would at least make this go a lot faster...but then again why should it be easy? What follows is a 2 hour decent into madness to try and sort all of the system tiles into tiers. What do those tiers signify? Who knows? Is there any consistency to the sorting? Who cares? You asked for this... Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or

323: Super Nekro Virus Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2023/11/01

We're back on that old grind. We've done "Super Guides" as our way of revisiting base game factions post-PoK, but up until this point it has also been a mark of a faction that received new components via a Codex. But from here on out, it's all faction untouched since the introduction of PoK. That doesn't mean there's nothing to say, of course! And one of the bigger factions to tackle when it comes to strange exceptions to rules and weird ways to get lost is the Nekro Virus. You could compare this

2023/10/25

The Homebrewer's Guild has been hard at work on a big project. The work has been largely philosophical up until this point and it was finally time to lay track down before we design this train. So today, we'd like to catch you all up to speed on the project known as Twilight Imperium Zero Edition. This is intended to be our fun modification to Twilight Imperium and act as a stripped down, simpler version of Twilight Imperium. Exactly what form that takes will be a longer process, but for now we can

We spent a week hanging out with the fine folks over at Leder Games and learned more about their ongoing projects while we were there. Nick Brachmann joined us to walk through everything he's planning to add to Ahoy in its upcoming expansions and Cole Wehrle followed up with us to show us more of Arcs' development. 11:05 - The Ahoy additions add new complexity and richness to the strategy, which is something we've really been craving for that game. 44:35 - As for Arcs, we focus the conversation on
