	Description Edit \| History

From The Rio Grande web site:

This first expansion for Race for the Galaxy adds cards, a 5th player, and other ways to expand your universe. Each expansion adds one more player, more cards, plus some goodies besides cards including objectives for players to compete over. The first expansion includes solitaire rules. It also includes some blank cards and a contest card for players to submit a card idea to RGG. Two slots have been left open in the second expansion for the winners.

The information that is known is summarized by the designer. For a more detailed narrative from the designer, himself, please see the following article at Boardgamenews.com:

These cards provide a more portable alternative to the 'Gathering Storm' goal chips. The cards are on a two-page PDF for easy printing. They also include a description of what each goal is, which is very helpful for new players.

TuckBox for Base Game and Expansion - Version 2

Another version of a tuckbox to hold the base game and the gathering storm expansion cards made using the tuckbox generator found here: http://tuckbox.gameupdates.com I made this because I like the tuckboxes created from this generator much more than the other one.
