''Race for the Galaxy'' (also 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 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). ==Gameplay== The play style of the game is similar to that of another Rio Grande game, ''San Juan'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= ''Race for the Galaxy'' )〕 which is the card game version of the board game ''Puerto Rico.'' Lehmann, ''Races designer, developed his own card game version of ''Puerto Rico'' at the request of the publisher. Some of its ideas were incorporated in ''San Juan''. Later, Lehmann used those ideas to create a different game, one of space exploration and conquest rather than colonial development in the Caribbean.〔 Each player builds an interstellar civilization that starts with only its home world in play and a hand of cards. Players strive to have the most victory points at game end; points are gained by settling new worlds, by developing new useful attributes for their civilization, and by consuming goods produced by their civilization's worlds. Each card serves multiple purposes: cards represent the worlds and civilization "developments", cards are used as payment for playing a world or development (by sacrificing cards from a player's hand); finally face-down cards are used as tokens to represent the goods that worlds produce. At the start of each round, all players simultaneously and secretly choose one of five ''phases'': Explore, Develop, Settle, Consume, or Produce; phase selections are revealed simultaneously. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Race for the Galaxy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
