Rules Reference Guide

By Brasca, in Twilight Imperium 3rd Edition

Hey all,

Anyone happen to know if there is a rules reference guide, fan made or otherwise, floating about the internet that I'm not finding? I would ideally want one made exactly like FFGs current reference guides (example: Eldritch Horror, Imperial Assualt or Armada) with all rules in alphabetical order and indexed to perfection.

/crosses fingers :)

I'm not aware of one. On Boardgamegeek there are some game helper sheets that people have come up with, but they aren't in the same format as the modern guides.

If I ever get time, though, perhaps I could put one together :)

I'm not even sure what guides you guys are talking about.

That'd be amazing!!! Though definitely a TON of work.

This is the one for Armada.

A lot of the newer games, such as Eldritch Horror, Battlelore, Imperial Assault, and Armada, have the rulebooks divided into a "Learn to Play" guide which just goes over the very basics, and a "Rules Reference" guide which is more thorough. The RRG tends to be sorted alphabetically by topic, and while it's not perfect, it's MUCH easier to find a particular rule that way. There are a few cases where a rule in the Learn to Play guide isn't covered in the RRG, but I think with the newer games that's a bit less common. The Learn to Play is typically a way to show the flow of the game and how turns work, etc, but then during the game if a rules question comes up, the RRG covers all that.

Overall, I like that approach. It does mean multiple rulebooks, but generally after the first play or two, you rarely need to reference the Learn to Play guide anymore.
