New Frontiers: The Race for the Galaxy [Board Game]

Embark on an epic journey of galactic conquest with New Frontiers, a standalone board game set in the acclaimed Race for the Galaxy universe! Designed by Thomas Lehmann, this strategic masterpiece blends the best elements of Race for the Galaxy and Puerto Rico, delivering a thrilling experience for 2-5 players ages 14 and up. With a playtime of 45-75 minutes, New Frontiers is perfect for game nights filled with exploration, empire-building, and cunning strategy.

In New Frontiers, you’ll forge your own interstellar empire by colonizing worlds, developing cutting-edge technologies, and producing trade goods to outpace your rivals. Each game is unique, thanks to a dynamic setup where players select developments and draw worlds from a bag during the Explore phase. On your turn, choose one of several actions—such as settling worlds, constructing developments, or trading goods—that all players can perform, but only you gain the powerful bonus. Choose wisely to maximize your advantage while minimizing aid to your opponents!

Key Features:

• Deep Strategy, High Replayability: With variable developments, special-powered worlds, and multiple game-ending conditions, no two games are ever the same.
• Immersive Gameplay: Settle "windfall" worlds for instant goods or build production worlds to fuel your economy. Trade goods for credits or consume them for victory points to claim galactic dominance.
• Accessible yet Challenging: A medium-complexity game with clear iconography and text on tiles, making it easier to learn than other Race for the Galaxy titles, yet rich with strategic depth.
• Robust Components: Includes 8 empire mats, 60 world tiles, 56 development tiles, 60 goods cubes, 60 colonists, victory point chips, and more, all housed in a sturdy box for easy setup and storage.

Victory awaits the player who amasses the most points from settled worlds, developments, and consumed goods when one of four endgame triggers is reached. Whether you’re a seasoned Race for the Galaxy fan or a newcomer craving a strategic sci-fi adventure, New Frontiers offers an engaging and rewarding experience that will keep you coming back to conquer the stars.
