Rewards and compensation?

By crimhead, in Cosmic Encounter

The rules for CI are up - they look great.

Questions:

Can you chose your rewards one at a time? For instance, if I'm to get two rewards, may I draw a card from one deck and look a it before deciding what my second reward will be?

If I'm entitled to two compensation cards and my opponent has cards from the cosmic and reward ecks, may I read the first card I draw before chosing the second?

Thanks.

Most stuff in the game is done simultaneously (for example, ships don't go to the warp one at a time). A rules stickler would use that fact to argue that you have to decide what you're getting before you look at any of it. That said, things might become more interesting if you were to allow looking at cards are you draw them.

You'd have to state that Rifts only blow up once all the compensation-taking is complete, however.
