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.

▪ Free promo pack included: New Worlds with six additional starting planets

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.

Fun game, though I'm not very good at card games. I would like it if there was an in app option just browse the cards for each set, definitely after I've bought it, but maybe even before hand. It sucks having to play with the cards before you get a chance to read them. I'm giving it a 5, cause I like it so much. But I feel it deserves a 4 for the sometimes crashes, sometimes long AI calculations and serious battery drain. (galaxy note 4)
