In the card game Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by playing game cards in front of them that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Some worlds allow players to produce goods, which can be consumed later to gain either card draws or victory points when the appropriate technologies are available to them. These are mainly provided by the developments and worlds that are not able to produce, but the fancier production worlds also give these bonuses.
At the beginning of each round, players each select, secretly and simultaneously, one of the seven roles which correspond to the phases in which the round progresses. By selecting a role, players activate that phase for this round, giving each player the opportunity to perform that phase's action. For example, if one player chooses the settle role, each player has the opportunity to settle one of the planets from their hand. The player who has chosen the role, however, gets a bonus that applies only to him. But bonuses may also be acquired through developments, so one must be aware when another player also takes advantage of his choice of role.
I enjoy this game, but it is difficult to score and has a steep learning curve.
Extreme steep learning curve, but has potential to develop many tactics when we got familiar with the game. Really love to play more.
By far most played game ever
This game is so squeaky clean it could be launched into space. Requires a few plays to internalize but like so does actual space travel.
This game is pretty addictive. If you can find some friends that are up for playing multiple rounds, to learn all the combos and symbols, then this game will be good for you. Mastering this game takes awhile.
