Race for the Galaxy: Expansion and Brinkmanship

About this expansion

Race for the Galaxy: Expansion and Brinkmanship is a space empire game for 1–6 players, with a playing time of about 60 minutes. It challenges you to build the most prosperous empire while the galaxy faces rebellion, rivalry, and the threat of war.

As empires expand into space, they encounter mysterious alien artifacts and races that were uplifted to sentience eons ago. These discoveries add to the sense of an unsettled galaxy, where expansion brings new possibilities alongside unexpected challenges.

At the same time, Imperium factions provoke other worlds to ally or rebel. The balance between cooperation and conflict grows increasingly fragile as the galaxy drifts toward war, creating a demanding setting for any empire seeking prosperity.

This product bundles three previously published expansions into one collection:

• The Gathering Storm
• Rebel vs Imperium
• The Brink of War

Together, these expansions bring alien artifacts, uplifted races, Imperium provocation, alliances, rebellion, and escalating danger to your Race for the Galaxy experience. Whether you are guiding a lone empire or competing across a larger table, the collection places your ambitions in a galaxy facing profound change.

Released in 2022, Expansion and Brinkmanship is compatible with both the 1st and 2nd Edition of Race for the Galaxy. If you want to pursue a prosperous space empire while navigating mysterious discoveries and mounting galactic conflict, this bundle gathers three major expansions in a single product.
