Quotes (from this video)
- i gotta tell you: i wasn't too enthused about it because when I read the back of the box, I mean I wasn't too enthused about Roll for the Galaxy in general.
- it really feels super samey, and what's the point of owning, you know, both games?
- That's - i mean that's good. That's... i like that in an expansion.
- i pooh-poohed it at first, but i think I'm gonna enjoy it.

Quotes (from this video)
- And it is a price reason.
- Roll for the Galaxy: Rivalry, however, comes out of the gate in Canadian buckazoids at 68, which seemed really bizarre to me!
- So, the customizable dice in this one are big modules in some sort of space station.
- This is unexpected: so there's a big... five pounds of cardboard in here. It's that thick.
- The big show, i think... the most interesting thing in this box... and the one that's probably going to getcha if you're looking at this in the game store, are these customizable dice.
- It means something! It means something! i'm like Richard Dreyfuss, from... Close Encounters.

- Hey, man - sshh. Be cool. Be cool.
- Hey - what? I was in the middle of somethingggggg [fades away]
- If you roll a pink arrow, you turn the die whichever way it’s facing. So it’s smart business to point it at a valuable face.
- If you’ve created an infinite loop, you have to keep turning the die until… YOU die. No - you just stop turning and nothing happens.
- Kurt Vonnegut’s butthole

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Additional tiles — but my favorite thing are the extra tiles there's only five in the main pool and these focus on the new dice but the biggest change is to the starting tiles there are seven new starter worlds to go with the nine from the original game and a whopping 14 new faction tiles.
- New dice types — First it adds in two new dice types: leaders are the black dice and orange are the entrepreneur dice.
- New goals — Goals are added to the game and you randomly select six. Completing one of these will give you these bonus tokens which can be spent as a wild die or kept for victory points at the end of the game.
- New systems — they add two new systems: the dollar sign icon means a die goes back in your cup when it's used instead of to your citizenry and the multi-phase sides can be treated as either symbol.
