Preview: Race for the Galaxy: Rebel vs Imperium
June 10th, 2009
By Tom Lehmann
June 8, 2009
Designer: Tom Lehmann
Publisher: Rio Grande Games
Players: 2-5 (1-6 with The Gathering Storm expansion)
Ages: 12+
Playing Time: 60 minutes
Release Date: June/July 2009
Price: $25

The first RFTG expansion, The Gathering Storm, was designed with both experienced and new players in mind, so we limited the number of new cards and powers and instead focused on adding goals, a drafting option, and a solitaire game. For Rebel vs Imperium, however, we assume players are experienced. (The Gathering Storm is recommended, but not required.) The focus is on new cards (with twice as many play cards as in the first expansion), new powers, and seven new 6-cost developments, which open up new strategies. Several powers we had earlier avoided as being too complex for new players, such as “mix explore draws with your hand, then discard,” now appear.
Action cards for a sixth player are included. With three new start worlds in the expansion, bringing the total to 12, two start worlds (one “red”, tending towards Military, and one “blue,” tending towards goods or Consume powers) are now dealt to each player. Players then receive their six initial cards and, based on these cards as well as the goals in play, decide which start world to play, discarding the other one along with two cards.
Choosing a start world makes the goals more interesting, as which goals are in play can influence your choice. This tends to equalize the luck of the draw; a player with a strong combination in his initial cards will often ignore the goals, while a player without one can often choose a start world to grab a “first” goal to compensate, while gaining new cards along the way until a strategy emerges. Rebel vs Imperium adds two new “most” goals and three new “first” goals for further variety.

Axis & Allies 1942

Ever since Axis & Allies Revised sold out during the holiday season, players have been asking for more Axis & Allies product, and Axis & Allies 1942 is set to deliver. Incorporating some of the units from Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition while still keeping to the smaller scope of the earlier Revised edition, this game is sure to be hit with established Axis & Allies players as well as those new to the game.
