No two games are ever the same. Seriously. Never. Make alliances, break alliances, fake alliances - it is just so easy to enjoy this game. So much of what makes CE great is the fact that strategies and mechanics abound, yet they feel so organic and are never pushed upon the players. You can have all of the RPG fun of being a character, complete with lawful, chaotic, and neutral, good, evil, and true, without the game spelling it all out for you. Be who you want to be! Play how you want to play! Every player will have a chance to compete and win, whether you like battle, negotiating, or trickery. Quite possibly the best game ever, but not a perfect game; sometimes the chaos can be a bit much and create unnecessarily long or frustrating games. However, the highs outweigh the lows and no other board game is quite as thrilling.

I first played Cosmic Encounter sometime in the 80’s. My recollection is that it was ok but not really my type of game – a bit light, too chaotic and random. Twenty years later, having now played the FF version my conclusion is that the game is a bit light, too chaotic and random. However, the variety in the alien powers do make it interesting and worth the occasional spin
