Race for the Galaxy App Reviews

No other explanation. The AI Hard player ALWAYS uses the same strategy (production), never military or any other path to victory. After ten games vs three AI players (two medium, one hard), the hard AI has won every time. My point is that you don’t win every game using the production strategy (duh, that’s why there are other strategies)… UNLESS you cheat. How? By dealing itself the cards from the deck that it needs for the first four or five turns, then cycling produce/consume 2x for the re

I accidentally found this game. At first, it is into,idating. Nothing really made sense. Then, after struggling a few times, I reread the instructions and had a better understanding of what was being referred to, etc. Now, I cannot stop playing it. It’s fast, incredibly robust, and requires thinking on your feat. The variation in strategy and need to adjust mid game makes this game particularly fun. I never played or owned the analog card game, but may buy it just because of this app. Well done.

Great game. Just got all the expansions and it works great. My favorite expansion is Gathering Storm. It kinda has a terraforming mars vibe with the goals needing accomplished. However, while it’s good for the iPad or tablet, it’s not good for the phone vision-wise. On my phone I can hardly see the cards and would have to press and hold the card to see what it is before playing it. If there’s a way to fix that, that would be great. Otherwise, great game

Love this game but after purchasing the expansion packs none of the expansion cards have shown up.

Game force quits when I open it can't play on iphone

It just is never available when I want to play. This is a hidden gem amongst the board games on iOS. Just wish I could play other people.

I enjoy this implementation of Race for the Galaxy and I'm thankful to Temple Gates Games for making it available and continuing to keep it up and running. Allowing for 5 and 6 player games would be nice, but ultimately not practical probably. Either my memory is not accurate, or there are some additional cards added in which I are not in the Gathering Storm, Rebel versus Imperium or Brink of War expansions but which do appear in this implementation. Perhaps those cards are part of the Alien A

Just like the actual game, it’s only as good as the players you play against. That being said, please fix the “hard” AI players. All they do is consume/trade, or produce. It’s just not fun anymore when you know what the AI is going to do every game. There needs to be an auto code break, after 2 turns of every one picking the same actions, it does a random or secondary action

The title says it all. This is a stellar (pun included) translation of the card game to app form. The only knock against the app is that it crashes every 10 to 15, maybe due to memory leaks? Frustrating when that happens, but the game’s so good that I still play it every day, logging thousands of plays despite hundreds of crashes.

Good but the multiplayer constantly crashes

Great adaptation. But really annoying playing on the iPhone XS. The ui is not scaled correctly for it. Hopefully it gets fixed in the future.. Update: Over a year on and still no update to the ui scaling on newer iPhones. It just can’t be that difficult.

Fairly high learning curve on a fairly boring game. If you aren’t already familiar with how to play definitely pass this- lots of better options. Regret purchasing. The interface is good, the game less so.

The Ai opponent only has two strategies, spamming vps starting turn three, if you’re trying to do a non vp build, or racing you with military if you’re trying to do a vp build. There’s no diversity in play, and I, a long time vet of RFTG have difficulty beating the hard ai setting. The game works just fine and I haven't encountered any bugs. Online play is the only way to go unfortunately
