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.

▪ 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

Love this game except a few things. Graphics is too gloomy and outdated. the UI isn't responsive, it doesn't fit nicely and has black margins on the left and right, why not take full advantage of the screen? Unnecessary slow animations. When long tapping cards to see their details, the zoom animation is too slow. For new players they need to read a lot and this quickly becomes irritating. Scoring system is confusing. When calculating it for some reason drops the scores and updates after.

The graphics in this app are way too small. Like, tiny even if you have great eyesight. It's clearly a desktop game that's not been modified at all to work with a phone. Don't buy if you want to play it on a phone. Less than 2 games in and my eyes hurt already. Terrible and lazy development.

Excellent app for the game with a couple bugs, but this has been in constant use for friendly multiplayer games for ages. Sometime in the last couple months push notifications for multiplayer have completely stopped, seemingly out of nowhere. I have scoured the app notification settings and reinstalled the app to no avail. Unfortunate because the game and app are otherwise both so good!
