This game is 3/5's bluffing, 1/5's negotiation, and 1/5's random number generator. Which doesn't sound so bad, but I've seen a few games where a player's opening hand was so poor, that he had no chance of winning. Cosmic Encounter is still entertaining with all the posturing and the ingenious tie-breaker solution, but the mechanisms can definitely feel contrived at times. I own 4/5 expansions as of 2014. --March 2020-- Dropping this rating down to 6. This game is too procedural for a negotiation game.

Fantastic game that does everything it sets out to do. By no means a thinking game, just a game of warped rules and a lot of fun.
