Race for the Galaxy has recently become my favorite portable game. It's very easy to carry a set around, plays quickly, can be easily walked away from, and is complex enough to be interesting without being so complex that it's impenetrable.

I recently went looking for the Faq, to confirm that I was playing a particular rule correctly, and stumbled over a very interesting set of blog posts - one player's strategy guide, based on playing several hundred games.

  1. Race for the Galaxy Strategy - A Preface
  2. Strategy Fundamentals, Part 1
  3. Stages of the game
  4. Some additional terminology
  5. Card Flow and Discounts
  6. Thoughts on Phase Selection
  7. Cards that change the Game
  8. The Second Tier of cards
  9. The Race for the Galaxy Strategy mind-map

I assume that there are more articles coming in the series, but it's quite good so far.
Now if someone would only implement an online version of Race, we'll be set...
