      5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best board games to come out recently!
      Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2009

      First a quick word about the base game (This package is an expansion): This game is amazing! This is NOT for non-board-gamers unless you're looking for a challenge. If you're a person that commonly plays Settlers of Catan, Tigris and Euphrates, and (especially) Puerto Rico then this is a card game that you must get. Combining the mechanics of Puerto Rico into a card game and space theme, Race for the Galaxy is a quick-setup, multiple-victory-path game of greatness. The first few games can be rough (especially given the amount of icons + cards that there are) but are a few games you'll start picking up on combinations and victory paths. Definitely a must buy for a board game fan.

      This package is actually an expansion for the base game and as far as I'm concerned you need both expansions to get the most out of the game. If you play it often it more than offsets it's cost. This expansion comes with rules for takeovers (I personally haven't even played with them yet) and a bunch more cards (including action cards so that the game can support up to 6 players). Due to the starting worlds that this game comes with the game now supports letting you chose between two start worlds while you are deciding which of your starting hand cards you'll discard.

      Definitely a must buy for Race for the Galaxy fans.

      Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2009

      This is a great expansion as it adds oodles more cards to the game, really making things interesting. You start to see some cards with costs more than the previous max of 6, and in general the game starts to feel a bit more epic.

      As for the added gameplay feature of being able to capture other player's cards through military conquest, this aspect was decidedly a disappointment. It's a bit of effort just figuring out the mechanics of how takeovers work, because the rules are a bit strange, and more work still maintaining a constant count of your military strength as you play using the included sliders and marker pieces. And in the end, only one out of every few games involves ANY actual takeovers, so all the work has very little payoff, and I find it easier to play without takeovers active. The one interesting effect takeover rules can create is an ongoing arms race between two players, who continue to bolster their defenses back and forth, but never end up attacking.

      All in all, I'm very happy to have purchased it, I just wish the conquest mechanics were more worthwhile. Perhaps a future expansion will make it more interesting?

      We've played the original game many times, then bought the first expansion and played it a lot, now we've added this expansion. We love the balance it brings to the game, adding more cards, more variety, and makes the game feel very complete.

      Take note though, the extra rules about attacking other players really don't mean much, there are only about six cards you can use to attack other players in the whole deck, and furthermore it says in the rules: If you don't like attacking other players, then don't use those rules! We just explain to people to ignore the explosion symbols and we're good to go.

      We might try the combat rules someday, but not now.

      Race for the Galaxy shines because of the variety. If you're looking for more cards I can't recommend this expansion enough because the cards are super interesting. I'm not a huge fan of the takeover mechanic, but it's easy just to not include them when you play.

      My three oldest children, aged 12.5, almost 10, and 8 as of 06/2014 love Race for the Galaxy (as well as other "nerd" games). In this age of iPads, games on phones, and overall inundation with electronic devices, I insist on myelinating their neurons with games that are hard to learn and harder to master - they've done a fine job, and Race for the Galaxy is definitely in my Top 10 of "hard" games that make one think. This expansion does the game justice, and adds even more difficulty and interest to an already solid game.

      I really fear that they're going to do with this game what devs have done with many others - add too many mechanics and make it annoying to play. This expansion adds fighting, which in my opinion adds very little value to the game since there are SO few cards that are capable of battling and it's only useful in certain games where things line up just right. BUT, if you take those cards out, you've got yourself a decent set of cards.

      Rebels vs Imperium is the second expansion to the original Race for the Galaxy. This item adds a significant number (41) of new cards to the game including 3 new start worlds. It also adds new 'goals and 4 new counters for the solitaire game,' both of which were introduced by the second expansion - The Gathering Storm. It also introduces a new mechanic in Takeovers which is completely optional. If you enjoy the base game, these new cards will certainly increase your enjoyment and you could skip the first expansion. If you are into solo play and/or goals then you need the Gathering Storm. This expansion is well worth the money.
