In the card game Race for the Galaxy, players build galactic civilizations by playing cards in front of them that represent worlds or technical and social developments. Some worlds allow players to produce goods, which can later be consumed to gain either card draws or victory points when the appropriate technologies are available to them. These goods are primarily provided by developments and worlds that are unable to produce, but more sophisticated production worlds also give these bonuses.

At the beginning of each round, players secretly and simultaneously choose one of seven roles that correspond to the phases in which the round unfolds. By selecting a role, players activate that phase for that round, giving every player the opportunity to perform the action of that phase. For example, if a player chooses the Settler role, every player has the opportunity to settle one of the planets from their hand. The player who chose the role, however, receives a bonus that applies only to them. But bonuses can also be acquired through developments, so you must be aware when another player also benefits from your role choice.
