Twilight Imperium (Fourth Edition)
Twilight Imperium (Fourth Edition) is a game of galactic conquest in which three to six players take on the role of one of seventeen factions vying for galactic domination through military might, political maneuvering, and economic bargaining. Every faction offers a completely different play experience, from the wormhole-hopping Ghosts of Creuss to the Emirates of Hacan, masters of trade and economics. These seventeen races are offered many paths to victory, but only one may sit upon the throne of Mecatol Rex as the new masters of the galaxy.No two games of Twilight Imperium are ever identical. At the start of each galactic age, the game board is uniquely and strategically constructed using 51 galaxy tiles that feature everything from lush new planets and supernovas to asteroid fields and gravity rifts. Players are dealt a hand of these tiles and take turns creating the galaxy around Mecatol Rex, the capital planet seated in the center of the board. An ion storm may block your race from progressing through the galaxy while a fortuitously placed gravity rift may protect you from your closest foes. The galaxy is yours to both craft and dominate.A round of Twilight Imperium begins with players selecting one of eight strategy cards that both determine player order and give their owner a unique strategic action for that round. These may do anything from providing additional command tokens to allowing a player to control trade throughout the galaxy. After these roles are selected, players take turns moving their fleets from system to system, claiming new planets for their empire, and engaging in warfare and trade with other factions. At the end of a turn, players gather in a grand council to pass new laws and agendas, shaking up the game in unpredictable ways.After every player has passed their turn, players move up the victory track by checking to see whether they have completed any objectives throughout the turn and scoring them. Objectives are determined by setting up ten public objective cards at the start of each game, then gradually revealing them with every round. Every player also chooses between two random secret objectives at the start of the game, providing victory points achievable only by the holder of that objective. These objectives can be anything from researching new technologies to taking your neighbor's home system. At the end of every turn, a player can claim one public objective and one secret objective. As play continues, more of these objectives are revealed and more secret objectives are dealt out, giving players dynamically changing goals throughout the game. Play continues until a player reaches ten victory points.

Trickerion: Legends Of Illusion
Trickerion is a competitive Euro-style strategy game set in a fictional world inspired by the late 19th century urban life and culture, spiced with a pinch of supernatural. Players take on the roles of rival stage illusionists, each with their own strengths and characteristics. They are striving for fortune and fame in a competition hosted by a legendary magician, looking for a successor worthy of the mighty Trickerion Stone, which is fabled to grant supernatural power to its owner. Using worker placement and simultaneous action selection mechanisms, the Illusionists and their teams of helpers the Engineer, the Assistant, the Manager, and a handful of Apprentices obtain blueprints and components for increasingly complex magic tricks, expand the team and set up performances by visiting the Downtown, Dark Alley, Market Row and Theater locations on the main game board depicting a late 19th century cityscape. The more capable the worker, the more actions you may complete at each board location. The tricks are stored and prepared on the Magician's own Workshop game board, while the performances themselves take place at the Theater in the form of a tile placement mini-game with lots of player interaction. The performances yield Fame points and Coins to their owners based on the tricks they consist of. Fame points have multiple uses, but they also serve as a win condition - After turn 7, when the last Performance card is revealed, the game ends and the illusionist with the most Fame points wins. The "Dark Alley" expansion included in the base game adds a new location to the game. It also comes with 48 new Special Assignment cards, a new tier of Tricks, and 27 Prophecy tokens that can alter certain game rules turn by turn, giving the game additional variety. No. of Players 2 - 4 Duration: 60 to 120 minutes Min. Age: 14

TIME Stories Revolution: Experience
TSR-Experience (TSRE) is a box with mysterious content that aims to enrich your immersion and your involvement in the main narrative arc that encompasses each scenario. I think that only TS enthusiasts have already taken the time to read mission returns on the SpaceCowboys website, a sort of debriefing with your BOB instructor summarizing the mission accomplished in more detail, while preparing you for the next one.Because TS scenarios do not have an imposed order, you can discover pieces of the main story in a timeline that belongs to you. "Experience" aims to embed and enrich the content of this blue cycle. You can discover more details about the environment where you live or customize your agents.This last point leaves me pensive ... Can one envisage a system of progression of the heroes in the form of experience, of cosmetics as in the video games, or then in a narrative frame retracing multiple choice paths, like a book of which you are the hero ?The SpaceCowboys' thinking around this "Experience" box is to allow players to appropriate the adventure of Time Travelers as they see fit.If you are inspired and attracted to the theme of a particular scenario, you can dive as usual, discover its secrets and mysteries, experience a thrilling adventure and tidy the box. The unique use remains within the reach of those who feel closer to the theme of a scenario than the history of the game.With "Experience", it is rather the players eager to deepen their knowledge of the Lore of TS, its characters, history in the stories, which are targeted.The best part of all this is that the box "Experience" seems to be able to adapt to our progress when we decide to use it, regardless of the order of the scenarios already played or the one from which we go. get it.
