Like many other Euro-style games, players win Race by having the most victory points at game end. The game won Boardgamegeek's Golden Geek Award for best card game, Fairplay Magazine’s À la carte award for best card game of 2008, and was described by the magazine Tric Trac as " LE jeu de cartes de cette année 2008" (THE card game of the year 2008). While appreciated by experienced players for being concise, some new players find the icons difficult to learn and decipher. The game uses iconography in place of language in some places, with complex powers also having a text description. It accommodates 2-4 players by default although expansions allow for up to 6 players, as well as solo play. Its theme is to build galactic civilizations via game cards that represent worlds or technical and social developments. It was released in 2007 by Rio Grande Games. Race for the Galaxy (abbreviated "RftG" or simply "Race") is a card game designed by Thomas Lehmann.
