Very, very Good

Great game with very competitive IA.

Worth investing the time to learn.

Great adaptation, but wish other exps. would get implemented

This app got updated to include the promo home worlds, and adjusted 2nd Edition cards! AI opponents are just as good as the original Keldon’s AI (although easier difficulty levels are available). Really wish we could get other expansions as well.

Too bad the online server is fickle

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.

needs fixes

I love this game and the AI is really awesome, but in the last couple of months the game has been crashing quite often.

Help

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

Purchased extra decks but the extra cards never showed up

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

Great for your tablet but not for your phone

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

Insanely great!

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. Awesome!

Wondeful app (but notifications didn’t work any more)

Is it possible to fix the notifications system, it didn’t work any more

Extensions with French iOS

Having a French iOS, I’m unable to purchase the different extensions through the Store menu.
The price is in US $ and the « Buy » button is inactive . Does it mean that it only works through the US App Store?

AI cheats on hard mode

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 rest of the game. The AI is beatable at the easy or medium levels, but if you’re planning on playing vs the AI to improve your game, you’re wasting your time.

Temple can you remake this Game?

Temple..

you designed and developed an elegant UX, UI and tutorial for Dominion.

Literally.. in Dominion, you provided a tutorial ‘chunk’ for every phase and every aspect. Even throwing in a bit of strategy of what cards to buy from the piles, and how those cards create synergy with each other.

You even went as far as creating a tutorial for each expansion (even if you don’t own the expansion) you can still play it’s tutorial showing the new mechanics of the expansion cards.

You also have a section where we can view ALL of the cards in the game (which helps a lot)


Why don’t you do all of the above - for this 💎 of game? At the moment the UX, UI, Tutorial for RftG is bad, very bad diminishes the quality and the per of this game. I mean look at the reviews of this one, compared to its dice roll counter part.

TEMPLE,
I’ll gladly buy a brand new version of RftG running on that Dominion card game engine. Highly consider redoing this one.

Dlc problem

Bought the DLC on my iPhone, but it’s not available when I play on my iPad. Why?

Ai strategy

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

Enjoyable and available

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 Artifacts expansion?

Jeu à labandon

C'est juste une honte. À ce prix rien n'est traduit. Les règles ne sont pas expliquées. On ne comprends rien. Franchement c'est catastrophique.

Love it, but

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

Great game to implement to iOS

It would be good to see some bug fixed in the game.

I’m my game “4/2 Uplift Revolt World” did not function correctly. It did not increase my military points per amount of uplift worlds in my universe.

Awesome, but crashes rather frequently these days.

Still pretty playable, but its very frustrating to catch a crash when you're about to win with 100+ score.
