Twilight Imperium: The Outer Rim

About this expansion

Twilight Imperium: The Outer Rim is a board game expansion for 2–6 players with an approximately 240-minute play time, released in 1998.

As the fourth and last expansion for Twilight Imperium: 1st edition, it adds new content to the original game while extending the galactic playing area. The expansion introduces a fifth galactic ring through a set of new hex tiles.

The added content includes:

• Two new races
• 13 new hex tiles for forming a fifth galactic ring
• Extra rules and counters for Leaders
• Extra rules and counters for Shock Troops

These additions make The Outer Rim a substantial expansion for groups returning to the first edition of Twilight Imperium. Its new tiles increase the defined galactic layout, while its rules and counters extend the game’s treatment of Leaders and Shock Troops.

Twilight Imperium: The Outer Rim is part of the Twilight Imperium Series and expands Twilight Imperium. It belongs to a set of related releases that also includes the sister expansions Borderlands, Distant Suns, and Twilight Armada.

For players seeking the complete first-edition expansion set, The Outer Rim provides the final addition to the series, combining new races, a fifth galactic ring, and additional rules and counters in one release.
