In Cosmic Encounter, each player is the leader of an alien race. The object of the game is to establish colonies in other players' planetary systems. Players take turns trying to establish colonies. The winner(s) are the first player(s) to have five colonies on any planets outside his or her home system. A player does not need to have colonies in all of the systems, just colonies on five planets outside his or her home system. These colonies may all be in one system or scattered over multiple systems. The players must use force, cunning, and diplomacy to ensure their victory.
This is an updated version of the original Cosmic Encounter from 1977.
Since 1977, Cosmic Encounter (in its various forms and versions, but primarily keeping the same base gameplay) has won (or been nominated) for the following accolades:

A very basic set (no graphics, etc.) that integrates all the unused Mayfair alien powers, that are compatible, into the FFG game. It includes the FFG encounter deck, all the Mayfair and/or Eon flares and alien sheets as well as a Readme file. Also included are the FFG flares so the whole FFG set can be used with this, if desired.
