Race for the Galaxy / Roll for the Galaxy / New Frontiers

 

Get ready to race, roll and flip across space as Mark and Daniel cover Tom Lehmann's cardboard-matic universe spanning the known galaxy. We cover the classic card game Race for the Galaxy, it’s successors Race for the Galaxy (co-designed by Wei-Hwa Huang) and New Frontiers, exploring how the mechanics and themes are translated into new forms (assuming someone actually played the explore phase card).
