Nice deal on New Frontiers: Race for the Galaxy / the board game
A game by Thomas Lehman (Race for the Galaxy – Res Arcana)

I put the full price in the deal, but it goes up to 40 euros quite regularly I have the impression… I've never seen it so low though.

Rated 7.4 on BGG

I took a quick look at the reviews, and despite some somewhat mixed feedback, I fell for the price (it's tempting…). I have never had the opportunity to play a game in the range of Race for the Galaxyand if this New Frontiers doesn't seem to be the best representative of it, I think he deserves his chance.

Here's what I was able to glean as interesting information about the game:

Note that there is an extension, it looks super cool and is rated 8.4 on BGG (introducing a single-player mode in particular)… Unfortunately it will never be released in the FR version (source a guy on the internet, so it is surely true).
