- Our take
- Well liked for new strategies. Some players skip the invasion module.
- What it adds
- New cards and an optional Invasion game where players fight off alien waves.
- What it fixes
- Some players find it the most balanced set with room for many strategies.
- What you need first
- Race for the Galaxy (base game)
- Xeno Invasion
You need only the base game. Do not mix it with other arcs.
