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.

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.

Important point: as of 4/12/2019, this game only works correctly on screens with 16:9 aspect ratio. if you have an 18:9 screen (like I do), key parts of the UI get cut off and some information is not accessible. i managed to test on a friend's 16:9 tablet and it worked fine. it seems like a decent-enough game, the secret action-selection mechanic is the main thing that makes this game different than others. But it doesn't have crazy combos, so it feels more chess-y than star realms or Dominion

Edit: update fixed screen issues! I used to love the implementation of this game but the lack of updating for new phones makes it so that I can't start new online games of my own and I can't see everything on the cards when zooming in (I'm both cases, this is now cut off). The medium AI is also too easy while the hard one is too hard because it seems programmed to just give you worse cards. If this were updated to fix just even the screen cut off issue, I'd give it 5 stars.

The new build should address the screen layout issues some folks are having. If you're still seeing this after the update we'd appreciated a screenshot so we can see what's going on. You can email us at info@templegatesgates.com.
