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.

▪ Single player mode with advanced neural network AI

Unsure how but push notifications have resumed on the app, so I'm updating the review. Great app! Original: 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!

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.

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.
