How to Play Cosmic Encounter

In the game, players can choose from dozens of alien races with specific powers to build an empire that spans the galaxy! Each player starts as a leader of an alien race. Players take turns drawing destiny cards to initiate maneuvers that transport a group of ships to different planets through a hyperspace gate. They then take the points indicated on the card to try to tip the encounter in their favor. The object of the game is to establish colonies in other players' planetary systems as their own, with the first to acquire five as the winner.
