We have had a "space" theme of late with our gaming, especially tonight. With just a smalll group, we played Race for the Galaxy first. While I feel it is a fun game, at times it can be too "forced" in your choice of strategy. It really depends upon what homeworld you have and what cards you are dealt. And while you can increase your chance to get the cards you need or can really use, it is chance that you get them. Fun but not my favorite.
We then played our first full game of Core Worlds, we never finished our first game some months ago. With the beginnning auction on each turn you have more choice in the cards you want and the strategy you will use, as long as others don't take the cards you want! Tyler took the core world I was preparing for the whole game and snaked a victory. As we are still unfamiliar with the overall selection of cards, the game seemed to take longer than it should have. There is not as much of a variety as RftG, but I think it is more strategic. I just wish it could be a shorter game.
