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

It really, really needs notifications when it is waiting for you to do your turn. I have had at least two games just stop for running out of time because other players had not played. The UI is poor - on my pad, to touch something I must touch above the item. Like many here, I love the game - it emulates the card game very well, and the AI is very good, so please sort these problems out. It is not fair to charge so much, and then move on to doing other games without fixing this one. Finally, would it be possible to have this linked so that I can get it on Steam for my PC without having to pay twice?

Great game, some frustrating UI issues. Lack of zoom/pan is annoying. Cards often move around while you are trying to drag them. I very frequently accidentally place or discard the wrong card. If it is a free placement then there is no confirmation dialogue which means I have had countless games ruined. A simple undo the last action button or ensuring that all placements and payments (even if free) required confirmation would fix this.

Implementation of the card game is excellent. Game flow works well, great that you can always have a counter on opponents VPs. AI is challenging in hard mode. Have played vs AI almost flawlessly for years, but recently something seems to have broken. I'm now getting repeated crashes, which took a full reinstall to resolve, forcing the loss of thousands of games in my log. Plus just found a bug: AI is given a VP bonus at the start of round even though it has less prestige than me.
