	'''Race For The Galaxy''' is a card game made by Rio Grande Games, and more precisely Tom Lehmann. The essential premise of the game is to play against your opponents and either colonize or build 12 planets or structures, or to get as much money as you can. The fun comes in combining your cards to stack up bonuses from "6-cost Developments," which function like Wonders in a ~~Civilisation~~ game.

	The game has been described as "Poker meets Alpha Centauri," "A race to see who can play Patience the fastest" and "[[Citadels]] meets Sins of a Solar Empire," and has two expansions coming out soon which deal with the mysterious "Imperial," "Uplift," "DNA" and "Terraforming" classes. Its art style is similar to that of Sins of a Solar Empire or Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, with homages to other sci-fi IPs present in some cards (one development, "Space Marines," has a figure on it who looks a good deal like a Clone Trooper from Star Wars.)
