Many moons ago, I missed my chance to join a weekly Twilight Imperium play session. Missed my chance, or dodged a bullet? Twilight Imperium is an infamously complicated and backstabby boardgame, the kind of baroque strategy space opera that can swallow up entire days and expose any number of terrible character flaws along the way.
Thank goodness there’s now a PC version in the works for Steam, which will at least remove the need to set up the pieces and remember what they do. Here’s a trailer.
It’s exciting to hear that Twilight Imperium is getting a PC adaptation! The blend of strategy and storytelling in the game is truly legendary. This could be a great opportunity for those who missed out on in-person sessions to finally experience it. Looking forward to seeing how it translates to the digital format!
Absolutely, it’s great to see such a classic game making its way to PC! With singleplayer support, it could really open up the universe of Twilight Imperium to those who haven’t had the chance to play with a group. I’m curious to see how they adapt the intricate diplomacy and trade mechanics for solo play!
