About this game

Race for the Galaxy is a strategy boardgame where players advance their empire by playing cards to build technological developments or to settle planets. Its core mechanic is a phase choosing game. Players secretly and simultaneously determine which one of seven phases they will lock in, all reveal at once, then execute the phases in order. Will you build an engine to ramp up VP generation on cheapo production planets? Will you invest in exploration and settle rare and valuable VP rich planets? Or will you rush a military conquest to cut off your opponents before they have a chance to develop their strategy.

Game Features

▪ 2 – 4 player with network multiplayer
▪ Single player mode with advanced neural network AI
▪ Five starting worlds and ninety settlement and development cards
▪ Free promo pack included: New Worlds with six additional starting planets
▪ Gathering Storm and Rebel Vs. Imperium expansions available for purchase

I love this game, and the app is even better than the physical version. It's nearly perfect. all it's missing would be a few more options for multiplayer time limits. You can do 30 minutes, one week, or four weeks. 30 minutes is often too short, but a week is much too long! Why no option for one hour, or 24 hours? Two days? We need more options in between.

So far it is a solid implementation, but it lacks some of the functionality of the desktop (Steam) version. Specifically, It does not highlight cards that require action from the player. For example, in the desktop version, when certain cards are eligible for being played, discarded, or various other actions, the desktop version will surround them with a glowing highlight. Without this, it is not always obvious which cards need action. This is confusing, especially for new players.

The app works fine enough. Sadly, playing against the AI usually ends up being boring. On "medium"' the AI doesn't play well enough to really compete, and on "hard" it's so ruthless about playing the "consume for 2x points, produce" cycle that winning a game has nothing to do with skill, just the coin flip of whether you draw exactly the cards you need to do the cycle first. Ultimately, the base game just isn't very well balanced, but the expansions are too expensive to bother with.
