Especially before the homework INTENSIFIES maybe? In this silly episode Matt and Hunter walk you through all of the different angles you can approach Twilight Imperium from. It's a newcomer invitation with a lot of our go to common sense advice baked in. In the second half of the episode the boys audit themselves and explain exactly how the business works.
