Since you like Race for the Galaxy, you may want check out Dominion. It's also a card game and fast playing, about 30 min. There is more interaction than Race, but it's fairly weak theme makes it more euro. But it's been tons of fun for my group, and it got more play than Race lately.
If you are looking for a simplier wargame, you may want to look at Tide of Iron, Fantasy Flight has been making some good stuff.
If you have a steady 4-person group, you may want to give Bridge a try. Yeah it's a card game that has the rep of only old folks playing, but I have had a lot of fun with that game, but then I'm not as young as I used to be either... hmm.
