The map tool helps with galaxy setup for 3 to 6 players. Faction choices and the rest of setup still follow your edition’s rulebook.

What this setup tool prepares

Twilight Imperium galaxy preparation is a group decision as well as a tile-placement task. The generator offers galaxy candidates so players can compare maps before choosing one. Selecting the player count and expansion availability first keeps the resulting preview aligned with the systems you intend to use, while the home-system surroundings give the group a starting point for discussion.

Before you start playing

Compare the candidates as complete galaxies, including the areas around home systems. Confirm whether Prophecy of Kings is enabled and that the displayed player count matches the table. Assemble the chosen system tiles carefully, then handle factions, starting units, objectives, and the remaining setup using your edition’s rules.

Free to use, with no account required. Use your physical game components and the rulebook for the complete rules.
