Cosmic Encounter Returns With 42nd Anniversary Edition
May 29, 2018 by brennon
Cosmic Encounter is coming back as Fantasy Flight Games reveal their 42nd Anniversary Edition of the game. It comes with some revamped artwork and such, plus it's still compatible with all of the existing Cosmic Encounter expansions.
In this game you are going to be playing as unique and interesting looking alien species, spreading throughout the galaxy looking to conquer and take control of enough worlds. If you're able to establish five colonies on foreign worlds then you'll be made the victor!
As well as each of the alien races having their own abilities which make them unique, a game of Cosmic Encounters is also one of diplomacy and social interaction. Not only will you have to stake a claim on various worlds, but also ally with others to support your claims.
This version of the game also looks to include lots of interesting additions from various expansions alongside a new Quick Start Rules Guide which has been quite the bonus when it comes to these games. Fantasy Flight Games really have been doing a lot to try and make those first sessions easier!
You'll also be able to find new ways to add to your games with the Cosmic Combo Cards. These add additional variety to an already expansive game.
I have to admit, I've never played Cosmic Encounter. So, maybe this is the right time to check it out!

looks a great colourful fun game for the kids to stop the Boredom ?.
Wow. I played a lot of Cosmic Encounter 30 years ago and it was awesome !
Well, that’s how i remember it. I wonder if it is nostalagia ou true merits that make me feel that way.
The gaming group I am in play this a fair amount as there is an expansion for a 6th player.
Given that I am not a fan, everyone is smiling at the end of play. So good times had by all.
