Cosmic Encounter (42nd Anniversary Edition)
Product number:
FFGCE01-42
Manufacturer:
Fantasy Flight Games
In the far reaches of space, the aliens of the cosmos vie for control of the universe. Alliances are constantly forged and broken in the pursuit of power as starships journey from planet to planet, ready to build colonies and battle foreign powers, ensuring the survival of their people as they spread throughout the stars.
Cosmic Encounter (42nd Anniversary Edition) welcomes new players to the game of infinite possibilities with a freshly revised rulebook and a beautifully illustrated Quick-start Guide that captures the nostalgia of the original game and makes it easy for anyone to learn. The Quick-start Guide's comic book style throws readers back to the 1970s, providing vital insight into the core rules of the game while embracing the fun of a cosmic conquest filled with wacky aliens and outrageous abilities. What's more, with the beautiful translucent ship pieces, spreading your colonies across the galaxy has never been more stylish!
A newly discovered species joins the classic line-up of aliens. You can, of course, play as old favorites such as Mite or Remora, or you can try your hand at leading the ruthless Demon to victory. Previously only released at Cosmic Con, this species was exiled from their original galaxy for unprincipled opportunism. Now they seek cosmic vengeance, using their power to possess other players' hands to bolster their own strength and sap others' will to win.
In addition to this monstrous newcomer, Cosmic Encounter 42nd Anniversary Edition offers you new ways to customize your games with the introduction of Cosmic Combo cards. These carefully assembled cards offer a list of alien species with a brief description of their powers to create themed matchups and explore different types of games. You may find yourself among some Big Time Clubbers or Cellar Dwellers, that can be integrated into three, four, or five-player games.
This edition is compatible with all existing Cosmic Encounter expansions.

Simple Sci-Fi Game
Lots of replay value. Got it as a shorter alternative to Twilight Imperium

Finally played it
I've heard about this game for years and finally got to play it the other week. What else can I say about a game that's like 40 years old? It is still great. It is chaotic, which may be good or bad for some people, but I love it. The negotiation for me is my favorite part, I love games that get everyone at the table talking and laughing, and making deals and alliances. This game does a great job at that. It doesn't have a ton of rules so it is pretty simple to teach, but the real complexity of the game comes in with player powers and cards, so this isn't a great game for absolute beginners. But if you like being shocked, you want a laugh, and you have a good group to play with you can't go wrong with this game. I'm very glad I got it.
