Roll & Write Shorter Twilight Imperium Games With Inscription

May 2, 2022 by fcostin

Did you know that this year, we are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Twilight Imperium? Given the fact that the title has been out for 25 years, you would think I wouldn't have some news for you!

Indeed I do. Given the festivities and the number that Fantasy Flight are celebrating, this quarter of a century celebration will come with a new and upcoming Roll-and-Write set within the same universe named Twilight Inscription.

Twilight Inscription // Fantasy Flight Games

Twilight Inscription is in development, inspired by the mammoth 4x tabletop title, Twilight Imperium - players will be heading out to explore the galaxy with a new method of travel and progress.

Players will be putting the roll to the test as they adventure across the unknown; establishing trade and industry on a wealth of different planets in a galaxy of opportunity.

The upcoming roll-and-write will be singing a similar 4x mechanic alike the beastly board game title, taking control over the likes of navigation, industry dealings and of course, incoming attack.

Game Preview & Advertisment // Twilight Inscription

There is no date specifically nailed down for the incoming Twilight Inscription, or gameplay information solidified from Fantasy Flight, simply just a tease during Fantasy Flight's Twilight Imperium Anniversary Festivities. But it's certainly interesting seeing Twilight Imperium in a new light. I really have enjoyed a good Twilight Imperium session here and there, however, it does eat up quite a lot of time!

Fantasy Flight have said that they are looking to have the meat of Twilight Imperium very much present in the upcoming roll-and-write, following the same feeling of gameplay in the roll-and-write, but with shorter gameplay and an all-round lighter experience.

I am certainly not going to complain about shaving some time off of my Twilight Imperium games! The roll-and-write would be a fantastic introduction to the universe without the intimidating tactics from the original long-standing board game.

There is no news on when we can expect the title, simply a release at some point this year.

What do you think of the upcoming extension to the Twilight Imperium universe?
