What is your opinion on these games?

Race for the Galaxy seems to be the original game, that deserves it‘s praise. But do you still think it‘s good by today‘s standards?

How does it compare to Roll for the Galaxy? Is the latter a more approachable version but lacks depth, like more beginner friendly dice versions of other games?

But that seems to be the case for Jump Drive, right? So far, this one looks like a family friendly approach, while still being awesome enough for more experienced players.

But then there‘s New Frontiers from Lehmann, another space themed game! This one looks a bit like an easy 3.5X game, right? Looking back, do you think all of them are worth buying? If you had to choose only one, which one would it be?

Eclipse is not actually that heavy once you get it going, and if you have an experienced group it flows very well. My wife is not a super crunchy gamer and she gets really into it, fwiw.

One thing to keep in mind with the Race games is that there is no map, and exploration is thematic, but it is still kind of abstract.
