I find they provide more way to win to the players that want them.<br />The Alien expansion is a good one as well, if you just want to have one expansion (since it is not compatible with previous expansions). I ignore the Orb portion of this most recent expansion.<br /><br />However you play it RftG is a great game, and really took off in my karass when we discovered the creator meant the "Race" portion of the game title.Bnefferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014076409493383186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829360209113689355.post-40837310037226629192011-10-18T13:17:25.124-07:002011-10-18T13:17:25.124-07:00I've actually played with the first two expans...I've actually played with the first two expansions.

In the base game especially, my group thought the high consumption strategies were able to dominate the military in the majority of our games. We're you playing with expansions?Fireflyhexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480463321850553888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6829360209113689355.post-15649889473084303112011-04-24T04:08:58.413-07:002011-04-24T04:08:58.413-07:00Nice review, I agree the length of the game is a b...Nice review, I agree the length of the game is a big plus, settlers can just take too long!
