Laws of the Galaxy

General Rules

  • Twilight Imperium 4th Edition with Prophecy of Kings and Thunder's Edge expansions
  • 4–6 players per game
  • Victory at 10 victory points
  • Rules disputes resolved in order:
    • 1. Official Rules
    • 2. tirules2.com
    • 3. If still disputed, majority vote of players decides the ruling
    • 3.1. A player unhappy with the majority ruling may seek a ruling on the TI4 Discord. If it disagrees, a new vote is called — but changes apply going forward only; past rulings stand.
  • Rules breaches noticed after the fact are generally allowed to stand unless easily fixable. Players are assumed to act in good faith. Actively seeking past mistakes is discouraged.

Draft Format

  • Unless otherwise specified: Milty draft via online tool
  • Game I: Curated combat faction roster. Random draft order.
  • Game II: Each player bans one faction before draftable factions are chosen. Slices visible before ban round. Standard Milty draft (9 factions, 7 slices).
