Race for the Galaxy is a galactic conquest based on the popular board game. The event takes place in the distant future, where you will need to explore the surrounding territory, populate worlds and small locations, develop trade and cities, exchange between factions and produce useful resources. The player will determine which of Earth's former colonies will be the most successful in business, development and technology.

Recently, humanity has discovered the ability to perform a spatial jump, JumpDrive. This allows you to almost instantly find yourself on another part of the galaxy, explore the far corners of space, populate suitable worlds and extract resources that are lacking on the home planet of people. During the passage, the user will reveal the secrets of mysteriously disappeared alien rulers. The main task is to create a prosperous and most powerful space empire.

In the campaign, everything starts with a medium level of artificial intelligence difficulty, which gradually adjusts to the player. Multiplayer mode is supported for 2-4 participants who can compete with each other or team up to achieve common goals. At the start of the gameplay, 5 original worlds and 90 maps are open, allowing you to develop and establish settlements. More maps and gameplay features will be gradually unlocked.
