Race for the Galaxy

Does anyone fancy playing this online?
http://genie.game-host.org/

If so, I can set up a private game and point you at it.

I've never played that game, but I've heard good things about it, and would be willing to learn.

In that case, I recommend reading the rules and then playing a solo game or two on the site.  It will give you a good feel for what the different strategies are.

I would also be interested, and I have played the game about 4 times IIRC.

Having had a quick look, the interface seems clear enough.  My only complaint is that the text on some of the cards is difficult to read.  I would probably have to find a card list on boardgamesgeek to make things easier on my eyes.

Zoom!  The pictures are higher res than the default size shown.

Ah, it does seem to work if you open in a new tab.  I don't suppose you are referring to some kind of 1-click zoom option are you?

Depends on what browser you're using, but control-scroll wheel does page zoom for me, which is good for a quick zoom-in and back.

Would you like a game then?

Ok

I've set up a three player basic set game, see http://genie.game-host.org/openlist.htm - should be obvious Smile
