Product Description
Product Description
As the Imperium crushes outlying systems, Rebel worlds begin to ally, politically and militarily. Meanwhile, the Uplift Code, within the genomes of the Alien Overlords’ former servitor races, is being sequenced. Can you build the most prosperous and powerful space empire in a galaxy where border conflicts rage? This expansion adds new start worlds, goals, and game cards; action cards and VP chips for a sixth player; and takeover rules to Race for the Galaxy and its first expansion, The Gathering Storm. New solitaire game counters and material to help players track their military and takeover status are also provided.

"Race For The Galaxy: Rebel Vs. Imperium" is second expansion for card game "Race for the Galaxy".
Designer Thomas Lehmann in this expansion try to add more interaction between players. This is very good idea but unfortunately badly made. There are too few cards which could possibly determinate war between players.
If You like "Race for the Galaxy" You could buy this expansion for new flesh worlds, developments and goals (if You have first expansion) but don't buy this of this new rules about takeover worlds of opponents, because it just don't work well.

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?

One of the best board games to come out recently!

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.

This game is amazing. Well thought out, intricate, detailed, themed. I started my friends out on Dominion then moved them over to this game. They're hooked.
Once you get the hang of this check out the expansions too, lots of fun.
