Ep 051: The Always and Nevers of Twilight Imperium

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/10/02

It’s time for an episode decided on by the Galactic Council! The “Always and Nevers” of Twilight Imperium is our list of somewhat absolutes players should consider when playing. None of this is actually absolute, and there is no such thing as always and no such thing as never. Unless we’re talking about Stymie. Then "Not Even Once..." Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Ep 050: Being Salty

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/09/28

Sorry for the late show this week! While Matt was traveling across most of the United States, Hunter sat down with other close friends and discussed getting mad in games of Twilight Imperium. TI has a special ability to get players emotionally involved, and often that leads to explosive results. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com

Ep 049: One Year & Tournament Patreon 2.0

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/09/18

It’s our Ding Dang Ol’ Birthday! So it’s time to celebrate. To do so, we’re going to set the strategy and theory-crafting aside, and instead discuss our plans for year two and onward. We’re shifting the focus of the Patreon to primarily revolve around tournament and league play, and so today we break down what a lot of that means for you. We’re very excited to try more tournaments and have a lot of ideas that will require a lot of playtesting, so join us on this adventure, won’t you? Music

Ep 048: Tech Paths Part 3

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/09/11

It’s time to finish the fight! This week we complete the trilogy of Optimal Tech Path discussion. This episode is defined by some of the more difficult to pin down factions and leads to some more open ended ideas of what is truly optimal. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Ep 047: Our First 14 Point Game

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/09/04

We’re putting off Tech Paths Part 3 this week because we just streamed our very first 14 point game, and there is simple too much to talk about while we still have it on our minds. This won’t be an in depth analysis of 14 point games at large, but instead a breakdown of the game we played and our first reactions to the differences between 10 points and 14 points. This game is available on our YouTube to watch, so if you want to see it first, THEN hear our reactions, go check it out! Music

Ep 046: Tech Paths Part 2

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/08/28

Hey look! It’s just what you asked for! It’s more discussions on Tech Paths. This week we cover six more factions Optimal Tech Paths, and breakdown alternatives to those paths. We’ve got five more to go, so looks like there will be a part three!! Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com

Ep 045: Tech Paths Part 1

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/08/20

This week marks the first item on our list of topics Matt and Hunter are revisiting and re-examining. Tech hasn’t been covered extensively since Ep 004, and we’ve learned a lot about the game since then. So, in looking closer, we decided to focus on the importance of Optimal Tech Paths in TI4, and what that looks like for different factions. Stay tuned, because next week we’ll continue this conversation and look at the rest of the factions’ tech paths. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at

Ep 043: GenCon Semifinals

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/08/08

We made it through GenCon! This week is a recording we did the evening before the finals. We sat down with some of our close friends and crew members and broke now all of our favorite parts of GenCon and the Semifinals of the tournament. Afterwards, it’s just Hunter and Matt, giving a rundown of what you all hoped to see from GenCon, vs what we ended up actually seeing. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/07/31

So what follows is a recording in which we bottle our excitement and present it to you, capped and labeled with just the right level of carbonation. We hope you enjoy as we indulge a little and discuss what we expect from GenCon 2018. Afterwards, Matt does some solo errata on last week’s Win from Ahead episode. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

So you’re playing Twilight Imperium, and things are going south. You haven’t been able to keep up in victory points or you were just violently attacked, and it feels like the game is over for you.

Ep 038: Twilight Imperium The Movie

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/07/03

We're gettin' pretty weird today. Main Pod-Daddy Matt is out this week so that leaves Pod-Daddy Hunter to pick up the pieces.

Ep 037: First Round Strategies Wrap Up

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/06/19

And so ends our journey through all 17 factions of Twilight Imperium. It was a long road, but we came out the other side with a lot more information than when we started, and so today Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson have decided to analyze everything they've learned along the way. After discussing all of the guides, we'll discuss what's next for Space Cats Peace Turtles, and then, as usual, some errata! This time from the madness that was the Yin Brotherhood guide.

Space Cats Death Clones Ep 001: First Round...

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/06/12

For as long as space has had cats and peace has had turtles, Matt and Hunter's relationship with the Brotherhood of Yin has been tumultuous. It’s finally time to settle the score and break down these booger-boys. What does it take to unlock their kamikaze potential? Join the only person qualified to help, JattaPake, as he explores the depths, and then afterward, someone will respond to your errata on last week's Hacan guide! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Ep 035: First Round Strategies - Emirates of Hacan

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/06/05

For every Peace Turtle, there is a Space Cat. For every Space Cat, there is a handful of trade goods. And for every handful, there is a table of people saying, “Wait, how did we let Hacan get so much money? Okay, that’s enough, no more trading with the Lions! Any trade with Hunter is an act of war!” Today, we hope to help you combat the intricacies of the Emirates of Hacan and find a path to victory. Afterwards, there’s a little bit of Agenda errata, and a couple of notes from our Trading with Hacan

Ep 034: First Round Strategies - Trading with Hacan

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/05/29

And you thought we couldn't work any slower. It's time to start talking about the Emirates of Hacan, but there is a lot to break down with the Space Cats, so we had to split it into two separate conversations. Consider this Part One of the Hacan First Round Strategy guide, and it's entirely about relationships and trade. Before we could get into what are solid strategies with Hacan, we had to discuss how you interact with other players, because it is entirely different from other factions and also
