We are playtesting a very interesting variant for TI4, with many more and diverse public objectives organised into three categories: Political, Economic and Military. See the rules here: https://boardgamegeek.com/article/31720019

All the rest will be handled as normal: Random premade galaxy and choice of factions well ahead of time.

For six players who have played "normal" TI4 at least once. Be prepared to give the designer some feedback about the variant.
