going to get this and present it to the group tomorrow! Let the hilarity commence!

Ok, don't know if anyone cares, but it was a HIT!! after the first few turns and alliances, everyone saw the possiblities of this game and heartily approved. Except for one person, who said she didn't like it because of too much overcommitment on ships, leaving her with almost none. She then ended up winning the game using her cursed Parasite ability! Now, of course, she loves it. Great time, and looking forward to many more crazy sessions.

Glad you like it! The friends and I have been playing this game (with two powers each [deal three pick two]) for about seven years. Hope you guys keep at it, there needs to be more people playing.

If I had room for one game, Cosmic Encounter would be it.
