About the game

What is Race for the Galaxy

In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by playing cards representing worlds or technical and social developments.

Each round, players secretly and simultaneously select an action card corresponding to one phase of a round. These phases let players draw cards, play cards, add goods to worlds, or consume goods for VP chips. Only the phases chosen will occur that round. Every player may act in a phase that occurs, but the players who chose that phase get a bonus.

Game end is triggered either when a player has built a civilization of 12 cards or when the pool of VP chips is exhausted. Each player then totals the victory points in their tableau plus any VP chips earned during play.

Un juego de cartas muy entretenido con grandes dosis de estrategia, pero en realidad no interactuas casi con el oponente

Es un juego de cartas de construcción de un imperio galáctico. Me ha recordado mucho al San Juan, pero tiene detalles que le superan, por ejemplo, el hecho de poder ir "recolectando" puntos durante el juego. Me ha parecido un juegazo en toda regla. Es de selección de roles. Todos los jugadores escogen rol y lo desvelan al tiempo. Éstos se van ejecutando (por todos) según un orden concreto. El jugador que escogió el rol, además tiene alguna ventaja o bonús. Además, las cartas que se van "construyendo" van modificando los bonus y el comportamiento de los roles. La única pega que le veo es q
