The Twilight Imperium universe, full of interstellar conflict, trading, treachery and the struggle for power, seems a deep and dazzling setting for games of all stripe and hue. And in Rex: Final Days of an Empire, it has a vivid and comprehensive ruleset that evokes the image of an ancient galactic civilization to great effect. With players seeking to seize the imperial throne via warfare and diplomacy, this light and thematic reworking of the classic boardgame Dune sees intrigue and bluff as the order of the day, and the fun comes thick and fast as people vie for supremacy using every tactic at their disposal. If you're looking for a game packed with intrigue that has a pleasingly “epic” feel, while retaining a core simplicity so not to overwhelm fresh faces to the gaming table, you could do a lot worse than this.
