Fantasy Flight Games Cosmic Encounter - Exp 05: Dominion

Buenos aliens y reward deck. La mejor expansion sin duda

This is an excellent expansion for Cosmic Encounter. Arguably the best, with only Cosmic Incursion offering real competition. What comes in the box? 1. 30 new aliens (and flares to go with them), almost all of which (IMO) really add something to the game. This is the largest number of aliens to be released in any single expansion, and the percentage of quality aliens is impressive. 2. Special Tokens for certain aliens. 3. A new rewards deck with all new cards that can be combined with Incursion's rewards deck or used by itself. It includes unique kickers, negotiate cards, attack cards, and adds all new cards -- intimidate and retreat cards. 4. One special cardboard token for each player color that you can place on one of your ships to mark it as a special ship. You can play several game variants with these tokens. 5. A hazard token that you turn over to make it obvious when a Hazard Warning is drawn from the destiny deck (which matters with the new attack cards in the rewards deck). All in all, this is a quality expansion. For what comes in the box, it's probably the most worthwhile expansion to date. Any fan of Cosmic Encounter should definitely pick this up ASAP!

Quite a fun expansion to Cosmic Encounter. The additions to the rewards deck give some interesting twists on what existed before in the one provided by Cosmic Incursion (for example, new varieties of negotiates that may make you stronger, or weaker in the negotiation). Our groups favorite so far are the Intimidate cards, which can be played by players outside of regular combat and used as leverage to try and get invited to offense or defense. While we have not played with all of the aliens yet, the ones we have seen are quite clever. This expansion doesn't provide a fleshed out "new" gameplay mechanic outside of the rewards deck (ie. technology or space stations), but includes some tokens that can be used to mock up your own, with a few simple examples included. It also doesn't include bits for another player, but makes up for this stuff with more aliens than in other expansions. If you like Cosmic Encounter I would definitely recommend this expansion.

Good expansion, excellent new races that add a lot to the game.

ESTA EN INGLES, tenedlo en cuenta. Según la critica la mejor expansión del cosmic encounter, y al ver los contenidos de esta caja no me queda otra opción que ratificarlo, probablemente mis aliens favoritos.
