It has been more than three millennia since the ancient galactic empire crumbled and the Twilight Wars erupted. After a period of devastating conflict, the great races retreated into remote and safe areas of space. Now, at the brink of a new era, the great races are moving towards the heart of the galaxy once more. The ancient Galactic Council on the central plane Mecatol Rex is regaining its influence, but the balance of power is becoming increasingly fragile.
In the vast expanses of space, mighty fleets hover in tense anticipation, while trade wars rage across the stars. Ancient technologies are being rediscovered, the forgotten feuds remembered. Galactic tension is reaching unsustainable levels, and another war seems inevitable. As the great races prepare themselves for the struggle to come, they know one thing is certain: only one race will become progenitor of a new galactic empire.
The Twilight Imperium boardgame allows players to take control of a powerful galactic civilization and guide their race to supremacy. Only by employing clever political negotiation, opening interstellar trade agreements, and waging merciless war will a player find the path to the imperial throne and victory. With its unique tile-based game board, vast number of exciting player options, and hundreds of cards, Twilight Imperium provides a unique game experience every time it is played. Detailed plastic pieces, high-quality components, and clever game design make Twilight Imperium the definitive space-conquest, empire building boardgame.
