Race for the Galaxy Strategy Post
No, not mine.
While I'm ambivalent about the value of many of the author's other RftG strategy articles (no mention of using Explore to leech Develop/Settle!), this one is solid, and had a few items that I hadn't thought of or forgot.
Boiled down:
* Assess the relative advantage of your choices
* Position yourself to take advantage of others' calls
* Don't become predictable while you're still vulnerable
* Pressure develop/settle when you discover opponents hands lack the corresponding cards or when you have an above average hand in those cards
* Cycle consume/trade and leech develop/settle, in order to maintain card advantage
