Race For the Galaxy: Alien Artifacts RGG 450

Race for the Galaxy: Alien Artifactsis the fourth expansion for the classic game of space conquests,Race for the Galaxy.

This expansion is incompatible with earlier expansions for that game, instead taking the game in a new direction.

Alien Artifactsconsists of two parts:

• 46 new cards including 5 new start worlds to add to the base set, plus a set of action cards and start hand for a fifth player. These can be used without the orb cards.

• 49 cards used to represent the Alien Orb which players jointly map and explore, gaining artifact tokens of various types that provide powers and VPs. There are also five new Explore action cards used in the orb game (instead of gaining an additional card or greater card selection).

The orb game is optional and provides a new Race for the Galaxy experience, as players have to balance how much effort and actions they wish to put into exploring the orb versus developing their empires.
