Race For The Galaxy: The Brink Of War Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little concerned at first when I saw yet another mechanic was being added to this game as it is already fairly complicated. The prestige points at first annoyed me because they just seemed like yet another thing to think about. But after a few play-throughs, I got the hang of most of the new cards and the new prestige factor and I ended up liking it. Instead of being the only path to winning, I found that it incorporated fairly well into the rest of the game and ended up introducing another range of strategies to the game, which will help keep the game fresh for those people who play a lot.
I would say, though, that it did result in Race being that much less accessible to new people. The game already tends to sound far more complicated than it is in practice and the prestige points make it even more intimidating if you have a doubtful new player. If you are introducing the game to someone new, or tackling it for the first time yourself, you may just want to start with the original game and the first expansion before diving into Rebel v. Imperium and Brink of War.
But for people who have been playing Race for a while, I thought this expansion enriched the experience and kept the game fresh. I loved it and was glad I got it.
