I've seen Race for the Galaxy around for quite some time; a lot of people in the Horsham group had talked about it and I've seen it on Boardgamegeek. Brian recently got a copy and I liked the look of it. I love card games and anything space orientated and the the family get on well with card games, so I thought Hmmm, maybe it should be the next game! Then came Valentines Day and we each got each other a present on-line - Anita got a bracelet and I got....Race for the Galaxy! Yay! I had a look at it last night and it looks good - a huge box for what it is, a number of cards and some help boards. The artwork looks cool and exciting and I hope it'll catch the girls imagination.There have been some reports of the symbols on the cards being hard to figure out especially for kids, so I was lucky to find a help file online that is called a Guide to RftG for Kids! Which seems perfect - I've had a read through and it seems a good start - it works you up into the game, taking out most of the cards and starting with a base set and then add in a few cards at a time. There was one small problem. It is a 4 player game. A quick look on Geek found that the expansion adds a fifth player as well as some good new cards and a Solo play mode, so I picked that up from Andys and hope to start playing soon!
