![]() The problem is that one game can take 8+ hours. If you sit down and play a game start to finish it's super easy to learn as you go and you can be rules-confident in one game. ![]() If I sat down and explained all the rules systems to someone, all the different roles and phases of the game, it would be insane. It's all written down on the table right in front of you. Twilight Imperium looks complicated as fuck, because it is, but it uses a lot of very obvious tokens and pieces to track every single thing, so you don't have to memorize jackshit while you play. While humans tend to win by small margins, unless your reveal literally will literally lose the game for the humans, or unless you are about to be tossed in the brig, it is almost never worth it to unambigously betray the humans. I find that overt betrayals tend to be the beginning for the end for the cylon team. And if you managed to jail a suspicious human and then stop overtly playing harmful cards out you clinch the game for the cylons hand down as you quietly sabotage crisis cards with low numbers. The cylon not being revealed also makes the Executive Order card a lot less powerful, as executive order is an insanely risky card to play on a potential cylon despite literally doubling the turn efficiency of humans if they can trust each other. An unrevealed cylon just flat out not carrying their weight is arguably stronger than a revealed cylon, because the unrevealed human is causing checks to fail by making the humans too confident in addition to drawing their own crisis each turn. Human cylons can wreck humans on important checks in absurdly subtle ways, by just underplaying their hand when they help. Because they can only contribute 1 skill to a challenge its harder for them to overtly sabotage things, and with one weak turn compared to the human's strong turn they are rather passive, but it is more than that. ![]() Specifically revealed cylons have an extremely hard time applying pressure to battlestar. There is also the interesting dynamic of revealed vs unrevealed cylons. ![]()
