FAVORITE CONFLICT ALIEN

By Joe K., in Cosmic Encounter

yes! i had to write the title in caps because this expansion IS SO AWESOME!! i may be overreacting, but this makes comic encounter more abstract. I did a 2-play mod yesterday with that hazard deck with my friend, just some the aliens totally break everything! A favorite mine right now would have to be Trickster and another Warhawk... I could talk about all of them, but i don't want to spoil everything. BUT SERIOUSLY TRICKSTER IS FUN TO USE AGAINST ANYONE.

So far, Xenophile is my favorite.

We played with about 6-7 of the new aliens last night. Graviton is a real game-changer, though; it completely changes everyone's strategy for using Attack cards in a way that we haven't seen before.

Warhawk is a beast.

Invader was fun, but it's more subtle than it looks.

Gotta love the Warhawk, but there's something fun about the Prophet and the Lunatic.

I so want to play The Claw, though.

we play two power games and last night i ended up getting lunatic filth. it was wonderful no one could take bases from my home planets. made for a long game and when changling stole my power he wiped out everyone elses colonies lol.

My favorite power so far in a single game has been sabatouer

I like Invader a lot, but Trickster is the most fun to play.

We had Prophet and Lunatic in an 8-player game at Dundracon, and you're right. They do stand out as fun and powerful aliens.

I haven't played The Claw yet, but my wife has. That one requires a very high awareness of the card distribution, as well as card-counting skills, to be truly effective.

The Claw is awesome!! Managed a joint win because someone played a +2 reinforcement out of frustration when he realised he couldnt win HAHAHA!!!!
