Cosmic Encounter

Rules-wise, the game is very easy to play, with a rulebook of only 12 or so pages. I taught my group in less than 10 minutes and we were engrossed since the "get-go". There are no dice in this game. It is a card game with funky ships, excellent production values, and a HUGE community support. This product shines with the Player to Player action. To get where you need to be, you must be confrontational but at the same time be willing to ally with them, situation permitting. Each player will be given a unique alien and that aspect alone will make this game replayable almost indefinately. Often the alien powers and the players decisions will bring about tons of hilarity and humourous frustration. Keep in mind though that this is a 3 player + game. I can't see one getting away with playing with 2 at all.
