Cosmic Encounter: Cosmic Conflict Expansion
In Cosmic Conflict; 20 new alien races explode onto the galaxy! Players will now shudder at the insidious kindness of the Empath; blink in confusion at the antics of the Lunatic; and howl in outrage as their planets are stolen away by the Claw!
Cosmic Conflict also makes the Cosmos even bigger; adding another player (and attractive black components) to the game. Cosmic Quakes will shake things up; ensuring that no player’s hand is truly safe. And as if that wasn’t enough; Cosmic Conflict introduces a new variant to the game – the hazard deck; which confronts the players with dangerous and amusing events that can crop up at any time.
Hazards are special game-altering conditions that bring exciting effects to your Cosmic Encounter experience. Special destiny cards; drawn during the destiny phase; display a “hazard warning” in the upper left corner; this indicates that a hazard card should be drawn.
Consisting of two types (temporary and permanent); these cards have a variety of wild effects. The Energy Fields hazard card; for example; lets each main player draw two free cards... but they must show them to the group first. And the optional “Extremely Hazardous Variant” will take you on a wild ride; it brings a new hazard card into play every turn!
