This is Spacecats Peace Turtles, the unofficial podcast for Fantasy Flights Twilight Imperium.

Episode 269.

Just me and my buddies, and we're just going to talk about some board games and just kind of have like a normal board game time. Hello, Space Cats, people. It's just me. It's just Hunter here. I just wanted to talk to you for a little bit before we got into our episode proper today. It's a beach episode. It's going to be just, you know, kind of us just like kind of having fun.

But before we get into the fun part, I just want to remind you that if you would like to sign up

for Tournament 5th Space Cats Peace Turtles, Patreon Tournament.

The way you do that is by being a patron.

You can do it at the lowest tier, which is a $5 galactic council tier,

that also gets you access to our Galactic Council polls that we do monthly.

We're trying to get kind of like ahead on those lately

so that we can do more like pre-production

and do just more like fun ideas with them or whatever.

So it's like it's kind of a better tier than it used to be.

You can either do it in October,

this current month that we are currently living in

or you can do it in November, and in December,

we will take the list of all the people that were on the Patreon for those two months,

and then we will be sending out an invitation for you to join the actual tournament, which will be

starting in January. So yes, this is basically a $5

entry fee for you to join in a Twilight Imperium tradition that is five years strong, where so many

stories have started and ended in the tournament. It's such a beautiful display of competitive Twilight Imperium.

I would say displayed at a level of play that is admirable, but also maintains the kind of

random, brutal, dramatic aspects of the game.
