348: Arcs Leaders - Agitator, Quartermaster, and Noble (w/ Tom Brewster)
It is finally time to dig in deeper to Arcs! The base game adds asymmetry to each player via the Leaders, and it's more asymmetry than many of us realized. Our excitement just wasn't enough; we had to go and recruit Shut Up and Sit Down's Tom Brewster to join us in presenting three Leaders and offering up what strategic insights we could muster. We started with three Leaders available in the Leaders and Lore expansion, the Agitator, the Quartermaster, and the Noble. Why did we start with expansion leaders over the ones available in the base game? Hey, quit asking so many questions! We got a fun special guest and you're embarrassing us in front of him!

347: Super L1Z1X Mindnet Guide
This week we're back to our classic formula and doing a deep dive on one of our favorite aggressive factions: THE L1Z1X. This one has a fun energy and we really go to town on these guys, I wish we had more positives to say but I think spiritually L1 is too cool to be the best so let's just enjoy them for what they do best. Watch the Semi-Finals this weekend! Game 4 and 5 will be on Saturday and Sunday starting at 10AM central US time.

344: Super Mentak Coalition Guide
Uh oh, it looks like we've saved a lot of the "bad" factions for last which means all of these Super guides are about to get a lot more FUN. Mentak, the most autocorrected faction, is definitively COOL and NEAT, but can struggle to score points... Let us examine why!

I love this true crime drama/knick-knack collection podcast. Listen in for the adventures of two hard working lads as they roam the back alleys of Cairo searching for treasure and love.
In all seriousness, this podcast is extremely accessible and entertaining for those who are new to the epic board game Twilight Imperium, or for those who’ve played for hundreds of hours in real life or on TTS. Hunter and Matt go into loving detail on all aspects of this amazing game and manage to deliver content with wit and panache.
Good info. Too much blah to find it.
SCPT is the definitive TI podcast, but the presenters waste sooooo much time on blah and laughing at their own unfunny “jokes”. If they would stop getting high off the smell of their own farts or if someone could edit out the junk, this podcast would be 5/5. The jokes and junk are 1/5. It gets a 4/5 from me only cos there’s no better option to get the good info. Until someone makes a trimmer recording with this info you have to keep your thumb hovering over the skip button to get through the heaps of junk littered throughout SCPT episodes.
