Eminent Domain

The new shiny in boardgames in our house is Eminent Domain, a card game with a space colonization and conquest gloss. Boardgamegeek's page is here.

We played our first game last night with a three-hander. It took us the to-be-expected age and a half to get a grip on the rules. Much like Race for the Galaxy our first game was a lot longer than it

I played this a week or two ago; it's really good. I liked how it combines Puerto Rico's role-choosing mechanic with Dominion's deck-building.

We've only played the one game so far, but I'm very keen to play more. Some on BBG have called it The Race for the Glory of Dominion, making reference to its similarities to Race for the Galaxy, Glory to Rome and Dominion, but Puerto Rico is definitely in there, as the grand-daddy of role-picking games and with the produce/trade cycle with little coloured wooden tokens.
