Popular Race for the Galaxy Board Game Moving to Mobile

With over a million physical copies sold, boardgamers have been building their galactic empires for years, making Race for the Galaxy one of the most beloved strategy titles in game shops around the world. It’s now coming out for Android and iPhone.

Temple Gates Games teamed up with Race For the Galaxy’s designer, Tom Lehmann, to bring a mobile adaptation of Race for the Galaxy to phones. AI pioneer Keldon Jones originally developed an AI for this game as a research project on neural networks. Now they are bringing the fruits of that project to Android and iOS.

Race for the Galaxy will be available for $6.99 on the App Store and Google Play. A limited beta begins on April 12th. You can sign up for it here.

As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
