We're talking about competition! How competitive are we and is there such a thing as too competitive? We give you those answers before moving on to our listener-chosen review, Cosmic Encounter!
We mentioned these DnDeeples in the episode. They are awesome! The large ones count as five of the smaller pieces. Head over here to take a look at Danny's work: BGG DnDeeples. Send him a Geekmail if you'd like to pimp out your Lords of Waterdeep.
And now, for our review this week...Cosmic Encounter!
The setup for a three player game. Doesn't look all that complicated, right?
Each player will get one of these fifty aliens. Every alien has a very different power, leading to very different games.
An example of some of the aliens included in the base game.
These are your ships. The "stacking UFO" design really looks good and works functionally.
The Destiny deck. You will draw one of these cards on your turn to determine which player you are attacking. This actually takes away some of the harshness of the game, "I didn't want to attack you, the card made me!"
These are some of the cards found in the Cosmic Deck. Attack cards and Negotiate cards are at the heart of combat, while special cards like Cosmic Zap can complicate negotiations and fights.
Some of these flair cards will be shuffled into the cosmic deck depending on the aliens in the game. Whoever draws one will be able to use a special ability. But if you manage to draw the flair card corresponding to your own alien, you will be able to use the Super part of the card.
