Space Race: 1000 Light-Years

Cosmic card duel to 1,000 LY

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Space Race is a cosmic card game — a fast, friendly duel across the galaxy. Draw, plan, and fire your engines to be the first ship to travel 1,000 light-years. But the void fights back: black holes freeze your drive, asteroid strikes cripple your hull, and an empty fuel tank leaves you drifting. Patch the damage, top off the tank, and blast past your rival before they reach the finish. It's the classic "hazards and remedies" race, reimagined among the stars — easy to learn in one hand, with just enough strategy to keep every game close. FEATURES • Single-player against a sharp AI rival — no account, no sign-up. • Fully offline. Every card, animation, and sound ships in the app. Play on a plane, a subway, or anywhere with no signal. • Beautiful, tactile cards with real haptics — feel every engine burn, hazard hit, and last-second reversal. • A "scry" peek at what's coming, so the smart play is always in reach. • Slingshot! Slap down the perfect counter the instant a hazard hits and leap ahead. • Quick games — a full race takes just a few minutes. • No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. Whether you've got two minutes in a waiting room or a long flight ahead, Space Race is the space card game that's always ready to play.

TWO NEW WAYS TO PLAY, closer to the classic game that inspired Space Race. Turn either on — or both — in Settings ▸ Advanced play. PRECISION APPROACH — Land on exactly 1,000 light-years. A jump that would overshoot can't be played at all, so save your short hops for the touchdown. NAVIGATOR'S LEDGER — Only distance cards move your ship. Safeties and Slingshots bank points instead, tallied at the end of the round with bonuses for a clean trip, a shutout, and more. Also: opening the rules no longer ends your game in progress.
