Description Edit | History

Third expansion to the Race for the Galaxy game.

From publisher website:
As conflicts spread, galactic prestige becomes all-important, both to extract concessions and to fend off attackers. Meanwhile, the Alien departure point is located and the Uplift Overseers arise. Can you build the most prosperous and powerful space empire in a galaxy on the brink of total war?

This expansion adds new start worlds, goals, game cards, and rules for galactic prestige to Race for the Galaxy and its first two expansions, The Gathering Storm and Rebel vs Imperium. New solitaire game counters and drafting rules for six players are also provided.

Aside from the base game, both earlier expansions (The Gathering Storm and Rebel vs Imperium) are required to play The Brink of War.

11 RftG+TGS+RvI+BoW - Modified CCCR
This is a roughly modified version of roxon's fantastic TGS Color Coded Card Reference. It's what i use as my all-purpose RftG card reference. Mods: 1) BoW picture links & BGG image codes (incl. Goals); 2) BoW cards (no detailed descriptions); 3) pre-set starting hands identified by number; 4) basic stats on number of unique worlds/etc.; Note: printing alignment is most likely screwed up, as i went from XLS->ODS->XLS. [Available/viewable on Google Docs [url=http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AshktTWW2xAxdF8xVm54RGgtemJsa0JCT2NPd0M3QkE]here[/url].]

57 Race for the Galaxy Card Reference - all expansions
Updated version with corrections (thanks Borge and Serge!) and addition of Search categories. Spreadsheet containing details of every card in the base game and the 3 expansions for Race for the Galaxy, in glorious techicolour. Also includes calculations for each card's scoring value with each 6-cost development. Credit goes to Tycho for the original spreadsheet for the base game, which mine is based on: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/29538/race-for-the-galaxy-card-reference
