Regarding boards and production in general, this is a very nice box of bits. The boards are all dry wipe and very legible. The dice are big and chunky. The cards are all very nice. But the pens, oh the pens! These are some of the nicest pens I’ve ever used in a Roll and Write. They are bright orange chalk pens and they are fantastic because they don’t smudge or anything. The manual is good and there is an excellent learn to play guide included. It’s a fantastic experience and a really nice production overall.Twilight Struggle (TWS) Event History & Laurels".

Regional scoring cards award victory points to both players based on their respective level of influence— presence, domination or control—in that region when the card is played. The regions have unequal values: domination of Central America is worth three VP but domination of Asia is worth seven. Normally players will hold one card per turn into the next, but scoring cards may not be held. There are 24 playable races, each with their own powers and abilities. There are also asymmetrical player sheets to further mix things up and keep it fresh. Grab your pen, select your faction and see if you have what it takes to lead your people to the ultimate victory across the galaxy. Gupta, Ananda (2006).

Twilight Inscription takes the epic experience of the 4x behemoth Twilight Imperium and shrinks it down into a roll and write. That doesn’t mean this is a small game though. Twilight Inscription is an epic roll and write which plays 1-8 players, each of whom will have 4 dry erase sheets to fill in. These cover each of those 4 X’s; eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. Mount a coup in one country on the board, again this uses the number on the top left, or for realignment which is another way of attempting to take over control of a country. The biggest difference here is the new mechanics: exploration means almost every tactical action involves drawing cards and resolving their effects. One might add resources or influence to a planet; another may allow production of a unit; or you might draw a relic fragment, three of which can be traded for a relic and its untold power.

Set-up for Twilight Struggle, by GMT Games, is fairly straightforward; place various tokens on the board in set places, space race to zero, Defcon to five, military operations to zero, the victory point token to zero, and so on, all of which is clearly laid out in the rule book. Then there is the fun bit, which can be done before or after the above, it really does not matter. Matthews, Gupta, Jason, Ananda (September 2016).

To have Control on a country, the player much have at least that number more of control markers than his opponent. So to have Control of Poland would require the Soviet player to place three Influence markers in Poland.If a player ever reaches +20 victory points in play this is an instant win. There are some other sudden death victory conditions in Late War.If none of these occur then after turn 10 score all regions and the winner is the player with the most victory points. If the Victory Point marker is at zero the game is tied. While it is more than likely not the biggest box in my collection anymore, Twilight Imperium still holds an enormous weight to it. It’s that game that people talk in hushed tones about how it can take all day to play and has hundreds of little plastic spaceships. And it does deserve that reputation. And while I now own bigger games, this is the only one we make sure to schedule in at least 2 plays a year. It’s a real event where we sit around and eat and drink and be merry and we’re all ready for bed by the time it’s through. It’s like Christmas, but with War Suns and trade embargoes. But now Fantasy Flight Games has released a new box of bits into the board gaming world. Twilight Inscription... A Long Time Ago In A Galaxy Far, Far Away

I’m not an expert at Twilight Struggle, but I’m good and I can hold my own against most opponents, so along with a guide on how to play this game there will be a few hints and tips I have learned along the way. Twilight Struggle Set-Up These cards drive every action a player can make. With the exception of Scoring cards, each card has an Operations Point number and an Event, those with a red star are Soviet events, those with a white star are USA events. Cards can be played for the event, in which case the event happens, or for the Operations number, in which case operations to that number can be made. Operations could be placing control markers on the game board, attempting a coup, attempting realignment and so on. According to an analysis of the game's design, "In some respects, Twilight Struggle resembles a modern-style Eurogame more than a wargame", in that the game offers multiple paths to score and win. It summarized the game play thus: "Rules and limited strategic choices governing Event triggers combine to ensure a roughly-accurate historical experience; within this framework of bad and suboptimal choices, one player will eventually squeak out a victory."
