This video aims to compare Race for the Galaxy with Roll for the Galaxy to see which game is better and suits the needs of different gaming groups. You get to decide which is better.

Race for the Galaxy is a galactic space civilisation game where players race to explore, develop, settle, consume, trade and produce goods to build the most prosperous empire in the fastest and most efficient time possible. Players use cards as currency and select action cards in secret. Gameplay works as players select the actions to be activated and receive associated bonuses. It is a tableau building game where players trigger card effects to gain bonuses and victory points.

Roll for the Galaxy is a dice version of the game Race for the Galaxy where players use dice as workers to help establish, develop, explore, settle, populate and ship goods in order to build the fastest space empire possible. Actions are triggered by allocating dice secretly to the five actions and revealing them to other players. Players cycle the dice as they are used and the range of colours match to the different types of goods available.

It is an evenly face to face match between an old favourite and a newcomer. Who will win this fight?
