Space Race is a cosmic card game — a fast, friendly duel across the galaxy. Draw, plan, and fire your engines to be the first ship to travel 1,000 light-years. But the void fights back: black holes freeze your drive, asteroid strikes cripple your hull, and an empty fuel tank leaves you drifting. Patch the damage, top off the tank, and blast past your rival before they reach the finish. It's the classic "hazards and remedies" race, reimagined among the stars — easy to learn in one hand, with just enough strategy to keep every game close. FEATURES • The real cards from the printed First Edition deck, racing through deep space. Stars rush past as you fly. • Drag a card to play it, flick it up, or tap it for a closer look. Every card moves like a real one. • Single-player against a sharp AI rival. No account, no sign-up. • Pick-one draws: peek at the top two cards and take the one you need. • Slingshot! Slap down the perfect counter the instant a hazard hits and leap ahead. • More ways to play: Draw Two, Play Two, Momentum, Precision Approach and more, all in Settings. • Fully offline. Every card, animation, and sound ships in the app. • Quick games: a full race takes just a few minutes. • No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Whether you've got two minutes in a waiting room or a long flight ahead, Space Race is the space card game that's always ready to play.
