Cosmic Encounter (42nd Anniversary Edition) reviews

This game is so amazingly fun, it’s a game of persuading and dealing with other players. Watch out your closest friends might back stab you-. Cosmic Encounters is so intense and can become hillarious when you pull off a total backstab---, everyone just has a laugh. Not only is it super fun and easy to pick up, there is so much replay. Core game comes with fifty aliens all with unique abilities which dramaticaly bend the rules and create mayhem it’s so amazing, two games are never the same. Also there is six expansions creating so much more new wicked scenarios and added in new gameplay mechanics, the game is just perfect. Buy this game if you want to mess with your buddies and have blast while conquering planets is a dominant Alien!

First pick on board game night everyone loves it!

Only played it 4 or 5 times so far but the games have been awesome. 50 different aliens with unique abilities keep it interesting. Recommended for all board game buffs.

One of the best games I have ever played, and has gone straight to the top of games I want to play first. To see my hard nosed and jaded gaming buddies giggle and laugh as they loose and then want to play again brings a warm and fuzzy feeling that is worth the price alone.

I love this game so much! Its so fun and provides laughter and endless banter at the table! There is already so much variety in terms of alien races in the base game itself, which makes it so worth it. It may take a bit of time to teach, but once you've gone through the rules it will go smoothly and you'll keep coming back for more! My top recommendation if your looking for an awesome game.

Have had this game for four years now and it is still the most played game I own. Tons of fun with no two games every being the same.

Easy, simple rules that can be picked up in minutes and then completely broken by each of different races' weird special abilities. There is a huge stack of different races that means no two games will ever be the same. One of the best board games I've ever played.
