Description

In Cosmic Encounter Duel, two alien species are vying for a spot in the Cosmic Citizenship Council, and only one can join. This competitive game is all about racing to control five planets, with each of the twenty-seven alien species bringing its own unique abilities to the table. These abilities can give you an edge in the fight, such as the Cheater, who can reserve an additional tactic to use in a duel. With twenty spaceships at your disposal, you'll need to strategically deploy them to fight in duels, act as reinforcements, or make a tactful retreat. The game is driven by Destiny cards, which come in three types: Discovery, Event, and Refresh cards. As you draw and resolve these cards, you'll engage in duels for control of planets, face cosmic challenges, and recover ships to prepare for the next clash. The game is easy to learn, and with a playtime of just 30 minutes, you can quickly dive into the fun and competitive world of Cosmic Encounter Duel.
