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.

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.

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.

The app works fine enough. Sadly, playing against the AI usually ends up being boring. On "medium"' the AI doesn't play well enough to really compete, and on "hard" it's so ruthless about playing the "consume for 2x points, produce" cycle that winning a game has nothing to do with skill, just the coin flip of whether you draw exactly the cards you need to do the cycle first. Ultimately, the base game just isn't very well balanced, but the expansions are too expensive to bother with.
