Race for the Galaxy

This pure cardgame by Tom Lehmann has, since it's release last year, climbed all the way to a #10 spot on boargamegeek . After playing this game a few times with my friends lately, it has become a favourite. The game offers several strategy options, and paths to victory. It is not the kind of game you introduce to non-gamers tho', rather it is a nice fast-played game for regular gamers. There is a slight learning-barrier with all the different symbols, which can be a bit difficult to grasp in the beginning, but you'll get the hang of it after a few games.

Warm recommendations !
