Twilight Imperium: Third Edition – Shattered Empire

Another almost mandatory expansion from FFG :) Along with the variants released on the website (Homeworlds, Ancient Throne and preset maps), it fixes some of the shortcomings of the base game. The strategy cards, objective cards and simulated early turns are all good additions, while most of the optional rules add some flavour to the base game. Interesting new races and race-specific technologies are a nice touch. The command counters system remains fiddly, the market phase is still underdeveloped and the combat system is still quite anonymous and with some balance problems. Nevertheless, this expansion is something you will hardly leave out of your games once you've tried it.

This expansion give me the ability to have up to eight players play the game. This is probably my favorite set of races out of the two expansions.

I really like some of the new strategy cards, like Bureaucracy and Assembly. The new trade card is great, too. The rest of the options and stuff just make the awesome base game even cooler, for the most part.

I read that the expansion includes updated (and more balanced) strategy cards which "make the game how it should've been". I've only played the game with the updated cards so I can't comment, but it felt balanced to me. There were a lot of things in the expansion that you can add/remove to change the game a little, if I owned this game I would definitely own the expansion as well.

Really changes the gameplay in an excelent way, it transforms an allready excelent game with some critical design flaws into an epic flawless diamond! Adds even more competition and thrill. However this expansion increases player elimination which can be frustrating for some players and can leave for many hours one person out of the game.

w/o this expansion I would not be scoring TI3 as highly

Great expansion that makes me not hate the game as much.
