Lehmann began work on a card game version of Puerto Rico, both working on his own and with the designer
Andreas Seyfarth, but when his version was not used as part of San Juan he continued to develop his game, combining it with a previous design for a space-themed customizable card game until it was published as Race for the Galaxy by
Rio Grande Games.[6] The game was an
Origins Awards finalist in the "Traditional Card Game" category.[7] Lehmann received acclaim for Race for the Galaxy which has been considered one of the best card games.[8] Lehmann designed the 2014 dice version of the game called Roll for the Galaxy with Wei-Hwa Huang.[9] This version uses a mechanic system involving six-sided dice.[10] Lehmann created the Jump Drive expansion in 2016, based on his game The City from Amigo, for new Roll for the Galaxy players.[11] Lehmann also prouced the 2018 standalone addition New Frontiers which allowed players to conquer new worlds and colonize them.[12]
He designed the 2022 dice-building game Dice Realms.[4]
Lehmann has also contributed design ideas to other published games, including Outpost, San Juan, Pandemic: The Cure, the revised edition of Pandemic, and Pandemic Legacy: Season 1.[citation needed]
