Cosmic Encounter: Cosmic Conflict

About this expansion

Cosmic Encounter: Cosmic Conflict is the second expansion for the Fantasy Flight Games version of Cosmic Encounter, supporting 3–6 players in games of about 60 minutes.

Bring 20 new alien races into the galaxy and discover fresh powers that can transform the experience. Shudder at the Empath’s insidious kindness, blink in confusion at the Lunatic’s antics, and howl in outrage as the Claw steals planets away.

The expansion also makes the Cosmos bigger by adding another player, complete with attractive black components. Cosmic Quakes shake things up and ensure that no player’s hand is truly safe, adding another source of uncertainty to your encounters.

• 20 new alien races
• Components for an additional player
• Cosmic Quakes that disrupt players’ hands
• A hazard deck with temporary and permanent effects

The new hazard deck introduces dangerous and amusing events that can appear during play. Special destiny cards display a hazard warning in the upper left corner; when one appears during the destiny phase, a hazard card should be drawn.

Hazards bring wild, game-altering conditions to the table. For example, Energy Fields lets each main player draw two free cards, but those cards must first be shown to the group. With effects that can reshape the moment, hazards keep every turn unpredictable.

For an even wilder experience, the optional Extremely Hazardous Variant brings a new hazard card into play every turn. Whether you want new alien powers, a larger player count, or more chaotic events, Cosmic Conflict adds several distinct ways to make Cosmic Encounter more surprising.
