Product Description

In Cosmic Encounter you become one 15 Aliens--challenged to think like an Alien and respond to other Aliens, each with a unique power.

You start on a home planet system and expand toward universal dominance. But other Alien intelligences stand in the way. Some might become you allies, and with others you can make beneficial deals. But some will oppose you with all the strength of their mysterious powers.

To aid in this quest, you will have your own unique special power. How cleverly you use it in each encounter will shape you cosmic destiny.

The countless Alien combinations make each game an entirely new experience.

Shifting alliances and fast-paced action keep everyone intently involved.

Be warned: this is a highly social game! You won't want to put it back in the box!
