Description Edit | History

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.

2 Cosmic Encounter Tuckboxes for Planets + Ships
Tuckboxes large enough to hold the 5 planets and 20 plastic ships for each color. Boxes are marked with the planet color and include the black and orange expansion players. The last box will hold all the tokens for CE plus the CI and CC expansions The boxes stack 2 high in the CE box (without insert). Stacked boxes leave plenty or room for an expansion box to hold the alien powers and the card decks.

The tuckboxes are modified to fit sleeved cards with Fantasy Flight Green Sleeves. Designed to print in A4 paper. Also be sure to check the "Scale to fit paper" option when printing.

4 Printable list of all aliens (up to CA)
I was looking for a simple list of all aliens and couldn't find one here so I made my own. It contains all 110 aliens (base game + all expansions anno 2012). First sheet is a simple list of all aliens + short summary + Difficulty + from what expansions they are. Second sheet is a printable list (6 pages landscape), where you can keep track of what aliens have been played, their wins and when they were played the last time.

1 Moon and Lucre Variant
Included in this ZIP are a couple home-brewed variants I came up with for playing with Moons and/or Lucre in Cosmic Encounter. They have been somewhat playtested, but they are not perfect. Our group has really enjoyed them, but feel free to post your thoughts.
