Cosmic Encounter

Cosmic Conflict

Players represent one of fifty alien races, which all have their own special and exclusive ability and uses this to conquer planetary systems and attack other player’s planets. Usual the special abilities enable you to countermand a rule of the game. This edition of the game adds tech cards which you can explore in the technology variant of the game. A turn comprises formation, determine destination, departure, alliances, planning, uncovering and resolving the situation.

This expansion introduces 20 new races, an additional player and the Hazard Deck Variant. This deck confronts players with dangerous or amusing situations. The new Aliens are Cavalry, Changeling, Empath, Filth, Glutton, Graviton, Industrialist, Invader, Lunatic, Mimic, Prophet, Relic, Saboteur, Sadist, Siren, The Claw, Trickster Visionary, Warhawk and Xenophile – the names alone promise strive and lots of surprises out among the planetary systems. The events, too, are fraught with danger and surprises, for instance a reversion of effects in encounters or ships coming out of warp to enter an encounter. Cosmic Quake is a new rule, if the discard pile and the draw pile should be empty when someone needs to draw cards – all players must discard their hand cards, they are shuffled and each player is dealt new cards. The Hazard card deck cannot cause Cosmic Quake.

This expansion is a must for each fan of Cosmic Encounter, especially for use with the Cosmic Incursion Expansion. Cosmic Encounter still is THE SciFi game with the best mixture of tactics, negotiations and arbitrariness of cosmic dimensions.
