Twilight

Any recommendations on Twilight Imperium?

Whole helluva lot of fun! Get the Plastic spaceship pack for it and the
expansion...

Haven't played in some time, but it's a GREAT game. The political phase adds a
lot to the game (and is the main attraction, in my case). I played my first
game just after I finished listening to the Book On Tape of
Dune--26 hours, hightly recommended, and the only thing that allowed me
to
maintain my sanity during my final months at my old job--and I still
cannot help but think of the Imperial homeworld as Salusa Secundus.

The plastic playing bits are nice, but nothing that can be adapted to FT, by
the way. It was my first thought....

I've had it for a while but only got to play it a couple of times. Its
enjoyable and simple enough to grasp the basics in very little time. The
expansion sets were quite expensive for what you got (just some extra event
cards and a couple of new ship counter sheets).

Chris Weuve has a comparison of it and Throneworld (another game in a similar
vein) on his site at

It's fun. The other supplements don't really add that much to the basic game,
just extra hexes, some more races and some more complications.
    I still haven't figured out how to use it for a meta-game for Full
Thrust yet.
