Old obsession unlocked! Played Race for the Galaxy with the Xeno Invasion expansion (but not the Invasion game) five times today with @eerko!

I'm really excited about this, but not sure if I'll ever get it to the table. It's wild how we've gone from "quick 10 minute racing card game" to "sprawling 2 hour galactic conquering game" https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogpost/185324/race-for-the-galaxy-xeno-counterstrike-designer-pr #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy
i'm a big fan of race for the galaxy, recently i've finally gotten around to fiddling with the Xeno Invasion expansion and trying the invasion, and once you get over the fiddly bit of it, it's actually really cool. It balances nicely and forces you to think about another level of optimization. #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy #rftg
I think that's the highest score on Race for the Galaxy I've ever gotten. #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy
kind of boring that the current arena season on BGA for Race for the Galaxy chose the same format that all the tournaments use. #raceforthegalaxy #bga
they must have weird and silly ways of doing tiebreaks on BGA -- just tied for first in a Race for the Galaxy tournament, beat the other two players tied for first, got awarded second place. #boardgames #bga #raceforthegalaxy
my Race for the Galaxy rating on boardgamearena is 397, i'm SOOO close to 400. #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy
Heute Tag 10 und damit Halbzeit beim #PeoplesChoiceTop200SoloGames2025
Ich kenne 9/10 Spielen (insgesamt 70/100)
Am liebsten auf den Tisch kommt heute #RaceForTheGalaxy. Das Spiel ist so genial kombiniert und dabei so schnell und einfach. Das hat man auch selten.

Spent the entire afternoon at a local café. Played two rounds of #RaceForTheGalaxy and one of #CoffeeRush. It's been raining heavily today too, so #boardgames was a great activity. (boardgames are always a great activity)
okay, I think this is a very good hand for doing an x2/produce strategy #raceforthegalaxy #boardgames
BGA race for the galaxy rating back over 300, what a relief.
feel free to challenge me on turn-based (username: giziti), just don't make the game length too long/short or do something weird like drafting (which would make the game last forever, I'm up for other weird things like R v I, the Orb, etc). #raceforthegalaxy #rftg #bga #boardgames

@arne_spillner 🃏 Race! 🚀 Einfach, weil ich das Grundspiel damals sehr oft (meist zu zweit) gespielt habe. Ich habe auch 3-#RaceForTheGalaxy-Erweiterungen. Damit auch mal solo gespielt.
🎲 Roll liebe ich auch 🥰 Leider hat es nur selten auf den Tisch geschafft 🤷🏼
Tried out the solo mode of race for the galaxy, it's clever and you have to be very efficient. Lost the first game and won the second, the bot got bad rolls and bad cards, though my cards weren't great, either. Pretty good for a solo experience if you'd rather deal with physical things than go on a screen ... #boardgames #RftG #raceforthegalaxy
tried playing against keldon AI in a couple expansions. I do okay with the base game (win occasionally), I'm pretty successful in a handful of plays of Alien Artifacts (I think I'm like 3/6?), but it's stomping me in Gathering Storm every time. Haven't expanded past that. #RftG #raceforthegalaxy #boardgames #keldon
I've been really getting into Race for the Galaxy this week, it seems. It's pretty easy to set up a *pile* of turn-based games and crank through them in spare moments. I installed the Keldon AI program and have played it a few times, I just started playing the Alien Artifacts expansion to see how that is, so far I'm 2-2 against the bot with that set. #boardgames #RftG #raceforthegalaxy
Race for the Galaxy: okay, played/playing a bunch of turn-based games and a few live games, finally started winning occasionally, my Elo is now over 100 on BGA! #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy #RftG
yay i won my first game of Race for the Galaxy (async on BGA) #boardgames #raceforthegalaxy #RftG

@soulseared I don't know what it is about that game that just ticks all the boxes for me.
Seems like most card games are very dull in that players have "healthbars" (oftentimes 20 hit points) and you just put down creatures/warriors/whatever on the table and deal damage to the opposing player. I did play #MagicTheGathering (#MTG) back in the day and a bit of #Hearthstone but that mechanic has just gotten so stale for me.
#Dominion, #AscensionGame and #RaceForTheGalaxy just hit differently.
Just pulled off the most insane game of Race for the Galaxy in the app against the hard AI. I had 96 points! I think the highest I hit before that was 61 or so. #RaceForTheGalaxy #BoardGame #BoardGames
Played #RacefortheGalaxy🚀 on 2023-04-09 with 2 players, winning score: 56 by @Suzan #boardgames #brettspiele #bgstats
@gamesbymanuel @bobcgames My issue with roll isn’t cheating, but it’s tangentially related. I have #YOPD. Small dice like in roll are far too small for me to properly set up the dice without fumbling them.
It’s terribly frustrating for me. And similar to Manuel, I find the setup, transport, and play of Race much less cumbersome.
But I’m glad people find enjoyment in it.

The best #boardgame I played in 2022 is Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition. It's like #TerraformingMars and #RaceForTheGalaxy had a baby (pub. 2021, #16 all-time, 8.5/10).
Players are trying to make Mars habitable by boosting its temperature, oxygen levels, and water. Each round players simultaneously choose one kind of thing to do -- build things, develop tech, throw money at the problem, produce resources, or fish for ideas -- but everyone gets to do every action chosen by at least one player

I seem to recall that #SevenWonders has a solitaire "mode" that can be played. Most cooperative games like #ForbiddenIsland and #Pandemic can also be played solo.
I've heard good things about Deep Space D6 but have yet to encounter it personally to get a feel for it.
BGG has a good post on a solo variant for #RaceForTheGalaxy.
I found a Solo Scenario book for #Gloomhaven here.

Which are your favorite #boardgames or #cardgames? 🎲 🀄 ♟️ 🧩 🃏
One of my all-time favorites has to be #Dominion, the #Deckbuilding #game by #DonaldXVaccarino.
Other games I do quite enjoy include #SmallWorld, #Carcassonne, #RaceForTheGalaxy, #EpicCardGame, #StarRealms, #Catan and #Ascension.
I haven't played #Splendor, #7WondersDuel and #TinyEpicKingdoms that much yet but they seem fun as well.
But #DominionCardGame #DominionGame has to be my number one for sure!
Even after all these years, the hard Keldon AI in the #RaceForTheGalaxy android app continues to wipe the floor with me. Medium difficulty, I return the favor. Hard, I have a ~25% win rate.
