Whether you bark, chirp, hiss, or casually graze in a meadow, you’ll find something here to make your tail wag.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

469: NYC, London, Orlando Intergalacticals/Twilights Fall and Thunder's Edge Online Tournaments (ANNOUNCEMENTS GALORE)
Q: If you were the game designer for Twilight Imperium, what's one thing you would change?
The quick answer would be to remove the agenda phase entirely, but the longer answer is to replace agenda cards with a more tiered system that scales with round progression.
466: Road to the Finals 2026
Q: How would you describe your approach to Twilight Imperium at the finals?
The guest describes a boat-floating yet adaptive strategy, with emphasis on seizing opportunities as they arise and keeping plans flexible to respond to opponents' moves.
SCPT Interview: Council of Serpents with Joeri Hessels
Q: What makes the game accessible to a time-constrained audience while still offering depth?
The game is designed for 30-minute sessions with meat on the bone, using dual-purpose cards and a modular time track that keeps players engaged without overwhelming them, allowing quick teaching and rapid reach into meaningful decisions.
SCPT Interview: Council of Serpents with Joeri Hessels
Q: How does the Ambition system shape gameplay?
The Ambition system gives each house two goals, adding a personal agenda that players push alongside the general tug-of-war, which creates conflicts between personal objectives and the group's dynamic and adds strategic depth.
SCPT Interview: Council of Serpents with Joeri Hessels
Q: What inspired you to make Council of Serpents?
Joeri explains a lifelong interest in court intrigue from books and media like A Song of Ice and Fire, The Prince, and War of Whispers, which influenced the game's focus on covert influence, faction manipulation, and tactical planning rather than direct action.
