Every card in the deck represents either a world that you might settle or a development that you might implement.

Once in your tableau, a card provides special powers during the game and, at the end, its listed number of victory points. Many worlds, once placed, also produce goods that can be traded for more cards or consumed for VP chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRace for the Galaxy is played in rounds.
