<p>In one of the recent great Tangapacolypses, I pulled the trigger on <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.boardgamegeek.com/game/12493');" target="_blank"  href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/12493">Twilight Imperium</a>. On paper, this is exactly not my type of game. Complex, massive, and epically long.</p>
<p>However, it is currently #22 on <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.boardgamegeek.com/');" target="_blank"  href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/">Boardgamegeek</a>, and my previous <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/tanga.com/?sponsor=Gangrene');" target="_blank"  href="http://tanga.com/?sponsor=Gangrene">Tanga</a> policy was, buy anything in the top 50.</p>
<p>So, when all 10 pounds of it arrived on my doorstep, I wasn&#8217;t really sure what to make of it. I let it perk for a week in the analog room before I moved it closer. Then it started talking to me. Open me up and check out all my bits&#8230; there&#8217;s lots of them, and they are pretty!</p>{"id":83,"date":"2007-10-04T01:43:38","date_gmt":"2007-10-04T05:43:38","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.bunkerguts.com\/blog\/?p=83"},"modified":"2007-10-16T18:08:16","modified_gmt":"2007-10-16T22:08:16","slug":"twilight-imperium-part-1-someone-set-us-up-the-bomb","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.bunkerguts.com\/blog\/?p=83","title":{"rendered":"Twilight Imperium &#8211; Part 1: Someone set us up the bomb"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bunkerguts\/1481449370\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bunkerguts\/1481449370\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm2.static.flickr.com\/1333\/1481449370_17d0af51a9.jpg\" alt=\"The player's spread\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In one of the recent great Tangapacolypses, I pulled the trigger on <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/12493');\" target=\"_blank\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/game\/12493\">Twilight Imperium<\/a>.
