About the Game

Race for the Galaxy, brought to you by Temple Gates Games LLC, is a board game classic where every decision feels weighty and no two playthroughs are ever quite the same. You’re at the helm of your own budding space empire, racing your rivals to develop new technologies, settle unknown planets, and carve out your own path to victory. Whether you’re in for a quick solo challenge or a tense multiplayer clash, this one’s all about outsmarting your opponents—and getting a bit lucky with your card draws.

Game Features

  • Play Your Way
    Go head-to-head against friends or strangers (with 2-4 networked players), or try to outpace the crafty AI in single player. The neural network AI’s no slouch, so don’t expect an easy ride.

  • Plenty of Depth
    With five unique starting worlds and ninety different development and settlement cards in the base game, there’s a ridiculous amount of variety. So, every round, your strategy needs to adapt—it keeps things surprisingly fresh.

  • Expansion Options
    Ready for a twist? You can pick up the Gathering Storm and Rebel Vs. Imperium expansions if you want even more possibilities and strategic wrinkles.

  • Bonus Content Right Off the Bat
    You get the New Worlds promo pack included, so there are six extra starting planets to shake up your opening moves from the jump.

  • Tactical Choices
    Each turn, you secretly pick which phase to trigger, then everyone reveals and all chosen phases play out. Will you engine-build, military blitz, or aim for that tasty rare planet? The tension’s real.

It all plays smoothly on your device, and if you fire it up using BlueStacks on your PC, you’ll have a bit more room to plot your next move.

Make your gaming sessions memorable with precise controls that give you an edge in close combats and visuals that pop up, bringing every character to life.
