Summary

This week it's very serious. By popular demand of the Galactic Council themselves, I give you our ultimate guide to playing as the fan favorite faction of all time: The Arborec! This show has had a complicated history with this faction as they've been mostly a bottom tier faction for most of the Base Game and POK eras of TI4 but I'm proud to report that we've reached the end of that story: WELCOME TO THE SOLID B TIER ARBOREC! Come the Kansas City Tournament (June 5-7): SCPT Intergalactical Kansas City Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com Additional Music and Sounds by Brian Kupillas. https://wanderinglake.bandcamp.com/ Art by Sun Sanders  To learn more about our Discord, Patreon, Merch, and more, visit https://spacecatspeaceturtles.com/
