3D Printed Hyperlane TilesTwilight Imperium Fourth Edition

3-player game setup using the hyperlane tiles

We printed these hyperlane tiles to make it easier to setup the Hyperlanes variant if you're not using a Game Mat. The Hyperlanes variant is a fun way to setup 3, 5, or 7-player games of TI4, that balances the map differently by adding adjacency to some systems farther than 1 space away. Systems that are connected by a lane are considered adjacent. Thus, the hyperlanes. We didn't want the portion outside the lanes to be confused with usable system space, so we printed ours in black to blend in with our table, but in hindsight may have done the lanes themselves in blue.

NOTE: for 3-player games it may be a good idea to omit system tiles that don't have resources during setup, this needs to be decided beforehand as it will likely be a factor when selecting races.
