Race up for the stars

Race For The Galaxywas the first game I played that forced me to use my plans as currency. What a concept!

To build any of that, though, you’ll need to discard other cards from your hand. It’s an extremely slick way of getting you to weigh up worth, and of handing you control and consequences without overwhelming you with information. That collides nicely with the phase-selection system, where you’re asked to choose which type of cards you’ll definitely get to play - and to bank on one of your opponents choosing the phase that you absolutely need to happen.

It’s great at punishing greed, and excellent at rewarding long-term planning. Race ahead and grab iton Steam, why not.
