Race for the Galaxy is my all time favorite card game. It is evident from the design that a lot of planning went into the construction of the core set and allowing room for planned expansions to slide right into the game.

It is a game where there are many paths to victory: there are economic produce/sell cycles, military dominance, exploration and settlement, alien technology, prestige, etc. The expansions offer other modes to add to the game as well, be it a solitaire game with some limited AI or using optional takeover rules to occupy the settlements of other players.

It is also scalable. Each expansion is clearly marked so you can remove or add each one as you choose. I may not always win (in fact, I hardly ever do :p ), but I’ll never turn down a game of RftG.

7 Wonders: Leaders

The first time I played 7 Wonders was with the Leaders expansion. I noticed very little in the integration, which means that it fits pretty seamlessly, except that the handling of the cards is a bit different than the age cards (you pick all four that you will use throughout the game up front.)
