Get ready for an even more epic journey through the cosmos with the 'Prophecy of Kings' expansion for Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition! This box is packed with new content that will transform your galactic games. First up, we have seven never-before-seen factions, each with their own unique tricks and strategies, from the mysterious Empyrean to the genetically advanced Mahact and the vigilant Argent Flight. But that's not all: the galaxy map gets huge with 40 new system and hyperlane tiles, adding fresh planets and strategic obstacles. And the best part: now you can gather up to eight players for this saga, thanks to the extra components in two new colors! But the adventure doesn't stop there. Each faction gains unique leader cards, unlocking special powers during the game, and imposing mechs stomp onto the battlefield as powerful ground forces with exclusive abilities. Exploration gets an extra layer of excitement with brand-new exploration decks, revealing surprising discoveries and fragments that, when combined, can form powerful relics. And, of course, the expansion also brings a host of new action cards, agenda cards, objectives, technologies, promissory notes, legendary planets, and more.
