This sub has been the best resource I've found for TI (even better than boardgamegeek). Unfortunately, not everyone knows the reprint is hitting shelves.

We should all try to help out our friends in the gaming community by letting them know the reprint is back in stock or is hitting local areas soon.

Already you can see people are trying to scalp the reprint (the back of the box clearly shows the 08/2026 manufacture)

Don't support scalpers!

I designed this set of custom made slices for my group's next game. What do you guys think?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but I have been struggling to find PoK that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. Month ago I saw Walmart was selling it on their app tried to buy it and the order got cancelled. Last week I figured why the hell not and tried ordering it again. Well just a few minutes ago it showed up at my door. The total price with shipping was around 140 USD

Maybe I just got insanely lucky or maybe it got reprinted and I just didn’t know that but if you’ve been wanting the expansion give it a try no promises though

Hello!

I made a custom set of command tokens and wanted to get opinion which do you guys/girls think is the best one (and worst)? For me it hast to be black.. I know that we got colored command tokens from TE but I like the feel of plastic instead of cardboard and they look more vivid in the system (because of the white color)

I have some questions for the fellow Milty drafters. Having organized a few real life sessions with a preceding Milty draft, I was wondering if anyone else ever 'curates' the draft a bit, or if everyone mostly just sticks with the default options and whatever it first generates.

So my first question: how does your group handle slice generation? I tend to be picky about the slices it generates, mostly because we only play two or three times a year. I feel like the game is more fun when the equidistants are interesting and all the slices are at least worth considering (no supernovas on the way to MR, and not low in both resources and influence). So I keep regenerating seven slices until I'm happy with the result, and this has been fine so far. I haven't tried messing with the generations options yet, like minimum or maximum inf/res per slice.

And my second question: how does your group pick the factions that are in play? I have so far excluded Nekro and Mahact (because there are still some relatively inexperienced players) and Winnu (anti-fun), but let the tool pick nine randomly from the rest. However, I'm considering to lower the number to seven factions, to make the choice a bit more relevant. It tends to be the last choice people make now, but maybe that's because we don't know much about faction balance yet. Additionally, I thought it might be fun to put seven factions in the pot that we haven't played with yet, but I'm afraid to put too much personal bias into the selection (what I want to play, instead of what might be fun for the group). Any thoughts?

Thought we’d come here and see if anyone has created stickers for all the factions including TE and POK?

I’m looking to label some of our storage boxes for all the strategy tokens and cannot find stickers of any kind. I’ll pay if someone can make these!

My group play TI about 3 times a year. Some of the players even less, as we switch it up a bit.

I have read what some people write about their meta here on reddit, and I regularly listen to SCPT, so I hear a bit about how high level games are played. And I must say, being a semi-noob group such as us is absolutely awesome!

Our meta is wild. We use all units, and use all techs. None of us care about meta and the absolute optimal tech paths. We have no boatfloat or x-1. No «only blue tech + X89» meta.
None of us whine when we get attacked, we just go at it and blow ships up. We just pick whatever faction we wanna play, without caring about what factions are «best».

We all focus on trying to win, so the player in the lead always gets hit hardest. Our games usually last until R6. No R5 action phase win or R4 status, like SCPT mentions.

There is almost a blessing in only getting to play every now and then, cause our games are just madness and super fun!
