FANTASY FLIGHT GAMES has announced the upcoming release of THE OUTER RIM, the latest expansion for its TWILIGHT IMPERIUM boardgame. THE OUTER RIM is the first expansion to include brand new hex-board pieces - literally an “outer rim” that goes around the outside of the standard TWILIGHT IMPERIUM board. The expansion also includes two new species: the cybernetic L1Z1X and the Naalu Collective, a mysterious race of telepaths. Among the 13 nique OUTER RIM hex-pieces are two new systems, the troublesome “Nebula” and the terrible “Gravity Rift.” In addition, the expansion includes rules and counters for “Shock Troops” for all ten species, and 30 unique “Leaders.” FANTASY FLIGHT is issuing a special offer for those who pre-order THE OUTER RIM. Those who order their copy of the expansion through the FANTASY FLIGHT website www.angel fire.com /biz/fantasyflight) will receive an extra sheet of hex-board pieces for FREE.
