Games like race for the galaxy

Race for the Galaxy(abbreviated"RftG"or simply"Race") is a card game designed by Thomas Lehmann that was released in 2007 by Rio Grande Games. Its theme is to build galactic civilizations via game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. It accommodates 2-4 players by default although expansions allow for up to 6 players, as well as solo play. The game uses iconography in place of language in some places, with complex powers also having a text description. While appreciated by experienced players for being concise, some new players find the icons difficult to learn and decipher.

The game wonBoardgamegeek'sGolden Geek Award for best card game, Fairplay Magazine’sÀ la carteaward for best card game of 2008, and was described by the magazineTric Tracas "LE jeu de cartes de cette année 2008" (THE card game of the year 2008).
