Tabletop gameDesigner: Christian T. Petersen1 January 1997

Twilight Imperium is a strategy board game produced by Fantasy Flight Games and Asmodee in the genre of science fiction and space opera. It was designed by Christian T. Petersen and was first released in 1997. It is now in its fourth edition (2017), which has large changes over previous editions. It is known for the

length of its games (often greater than six hours) and its in-depth strategy (including military, politics, technology and trade). As of 2024, its compelling game play and enduring popularity have seen it be hailed by Nerdist and Polygon as the "greatest board game ever made." Since its release, the Twilight Imperium

franchise has also expanded into six novels published by Aconyte Books, tabletop role-playing games such as Embers of the Imperium produced by Edge Studios in the Genesys RPG system, and spin-off games including Twilight Inscription and Rex: Final Days of the Empire.
