Comments on Race for the Galaxy for Android

★★★★☆ Antti Sarajärvi · Jul 5, 2026

Great game. Desperately needs the Alien Artifacts -expansion though. Just the cards! It doesn't even need the Orb Module.

★★★★☆ Rob Stuff · Sep 20, 2023

Implementation of the card game is excellent. Game flow works well, great that you can always have a counter on opponents VPs. AI is challenging in hard mode. Have played vs AI almost flawlessly for years, but recently something seems to have broken. I'm now getting repeated crashes, which took a full reinstallation to resolve, forcing the loss of thousands of games in my log. Plus just found a bug: AI is given a VP bonus at the start of round even though it has less prestige than me.

★★★★★ Vajk Szécsi · Oct 22, 2021

FTG is a great game, period. And Eldon's AI does what's very rare, brings in AI that is actually truly hard to beat, without relying on "cheating" or a perfect strategy. I can only recommend it!

★☆☆☆☆ Luca Zucconelli · Jul 21, 2021

Having said that pricing each expansion $3.55 (or the cost of some fully-fledged games) seems outrageous after having paid almost €8.00 for the base game, how the hell do $3.55 become €4.55??? The current exchange rate says it should be €3.00!!! Given that the expansions are pretty much mandatory because otherwise some strategies are just not feasible with only the base game card pool, it means that in order to play the game properly I'd have to pay a staggering total of around €21... No way.

★☆☆☆☆ Klaus Herzog · Mar 30, 2022

Touchscreen coordinates are WAY off on my 10 tablet. Unplayable. On top of that, tech support is non-existent. NO REPLY to my multiple bug reports abot this issue (on more than one device). Not a great way to treat a PAYING customer.

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Wright · Aug 17, 2021

Crashes nearly every time I discard cards. I'm very disappointed and want a refund. The game is unplayable.
