Worth it
- Our take
- SU&SD called it possibly the only true must-buy of the original five; BGG posters say it holds arguably the single best alien design of any expansion.
- What you need first
- Just the base game
Cosmic Encounter · Expansion
Cosmic Dominion
- What it adds
- 30 new aliens, a 32-card Reward deck, four variants and ship markers.
