About Race for the Galaxy

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.

▪ 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

The board only covers 2 inches in the middle of the screen of my Pixel phone. There are inchwide bands of blank screens along both sides. Absolutely ridiculous. Still just as awful since the last update. There's no fix.

Great implementation and fun to play. Needs an update to fix the screen ratio or automatically adjust to the size of your phone screen. Running a pixel 9a and it's very small with black bars on the side. Would be a five star with that for me, it's that good; and like Slay the Spire, it is something I always want on my phone and available to boot up and take a run at it. Hard AI is a great challenge.
