In Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments.
Each round, each player secretly and simultaneously chooses one of seven different action cards and then reveals it. Only the selected phases occur. For these phases, every player performs the phase's action, while the selecting player(s) also get a bonus for that phase.
The player who best manages his cards, phase and bonus selections, and card powers to build the greatest space empire and achieves the highest points, wins!
Now the classic card game is restored in a 2nd Edition! Adding 6 new start worlds, 5 cards with small revisions, color-blind support, start world choice, and sample turns.
