Twilight Imperium: Thunder Edge Arrives – But Are You Ready to Carry It?
A Galactic Expansion Like No Other
This October 2025, the gaming galaxy is going to shake. The long-awaited expansion for Twilight Imperium, Thunder Edge, is arriving, and everything points to it being a game-changer: a brand-new faction, bold new mechanics, and the promise of galactic chaos on a scale we’ve never seen before. For fans like me, it’s impossible not to get excited. Twilight Imperium is already a legend, and each expansion adds another layer to the epic saga.
The Real Problem Isn’t in the Rules
But if we’re being honest, there’s one constant problem that keeps coming back—not in the rules, not in the balance, not in the storytelling. The real challenge is much more down-to-earth: the box.
Twilight Imperium doesn’t just come in a big box; it comes in a box so massive it doesn’t fit in any standard backpack. Not the school backpacks, not the commuter ones. If you’ve ever tried to bring Twilight Imperium to a friend’s place, you know the drill: you end up reaching for an oversized IKEA bag or some kind of shopping tote.
Sure, it technically works, but it’s clumsy. You’re carrying it in your hand, awkwardly bumping it against your legs. And then comes the real nightmare—bad weather. Imagine hauling that precious box through rain or snow. A single splash or drop of water and suddenly your prized collector’s item, the centerpiece of your board game collection, is at risk.
Enter the XXL Board Game Backpack
This is exactly where the XXL Board Game Backpack from May The Game changes the story. From the beginning, this bag was designed for the heavyweights of the board gaming world.
It wasn’t about fitting “most” games; it was about fitting all games—even the notorious giants like Twilight Imperium, Nemesis, or Pandemic Legacy.
The design had two clear goals:
To let you bring an entire library—up to 12, 13, even 15 games if you mix in some smaller boxes—straight to your board game night.
To finally give us a practical way to protect and carry our favorite XXL titles.
Practical Protection for Your Collection
When I say “practical,” I mean more than just space. This backpack has the build and durability to keep your collection safe.
Water-resistant material means the next time you’re caught in a downpour, you won’t be clenching your teeth imagining soggy corners and warped boards.
Wide, reinforced straps mean you carry the weight on your back instead of struggling with your hands.
A balanced structure protects the games and saves your energy, so you walk into your game night ready to play, not exhausted from the trip.
Be Ready for Thunder Edge
That’s why, if you’re already counting the days until Thunder Edge drops, it makes sense to prepare on all fronts. Yes, you’ll need table space, a crew of fellow space conquerors, and snacks for the inevitable late-night negotiations. But you’ll also need a way to get the game there without stress.
For me, the XXL backpack from May The Game is not just an accessory—it’s an essential tool. It’s the difference between dreading the logistics and enjoying the anticipation.
Twilight Imperium is about exploring, expanding, and conquering. That spirit shouldn’t end when you close the box. With the right backpack, your game is ready to travel wherever the galaxy calls.
And when Thunder Edge lands this October, you’ll be ready—not just to play, but to bring the whole universe with you.
