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.

▪ Five starting worlds and ninety settlement and development cards
▪ Free promo pack included: New Worlds with six additional starting planets

Everything related to gameplay is fine but... After playing for a couple of days i had an issue that the app crushed every time i launched one particular game. After trying to close and open the app and restarting my phone, i unistalled and reinstalled my app and... there was no option to log in back to my account. Everyone that i had ongoing games with is waiting for my turn. It makes no sense.

This is really a rather nice port of RftG when you want to play a few rounds but don't want to bother getting a group together (even online). Deducted a star for the following: -No 4th/5th expansions (the description fails to mention you can buy Brink of War) -The lack of support for 2 years -I wish the game had widescreen -The AI can be slow sometimes (but that's fine, really) If you are okay with getting a premium subscription, BoardGameArena's adaptation of the game is way more complete.

Mostly, it is very good, only 2 issues. 1) Occasionally, the game crashes right after dealing the first 6 cards. NBD, you can just restart the app. It has never crashed after gameplay has begun. 2) Game logic is mostly correct. I only found one bug -- I had alien rosetta stone world (+2 alien military) in my tableau, but I was not allowed to play alien robot sentry (alien military world with a value of 2).
