Watch this video to see how the first round can be played with the Council Keleres faction in the awesome Twilight Imperium 4 (TI4) board game, including the Prophecy of Kings (PoK) expansion.



In this faction strategy guide, I will show you examples of how the first round can go with the best strategy cards, so that you have a chance to pick exactly that card, the next time you play Twilight Imperium.

All the factions basic abilities, faction-specific technologies, and recommended technologies to research, are covered in the video as well.

All tips are based on the base game, including the Prophecy of Kings expansion and all three codices: 1) Ordinian 2) Affinity, and 3) Vigil

During the video, basic rules are briefly covered as well, but a basic knowledge of how to play this game is expected.

My trusty Twilight Imperium play group, who has taught me so many lessons. And I have even learned a bit from some of them.
