]]>FFG254 <![CDATA[Cosmic Encounter: Tick-Tock]]>Fri, 05 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMTAn alien race preview

You have the power of Patience. This mechanical race is awaiting the day when Universe dies, and they will do anything they can to prevent the other races from delaying the inevitable. At the beginning of the game, ten tokens are placed upon the alien sheet. Any time a player wins as the defense, or if a successful negotiation takes place, Tick-Tock may discard a token from the sheet. If at any point in time there are no tokens on the sheet, Tick-Tock immediately wins. Alternatively, the...

]]>FFG250 <![CDATA[Cosmic Encounter: Hate]]>Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMTAn alien race preview

You have the power of Rage. Hate gives the hurt out across the board. Every turn you may discard a card, and every player must discard a card of the same type. Even more powerfully, if you discard an attack card, your opponents must discard an attack of equal or higher value! In this way you can fish high level attack cards out of your opponents hands. Alternatively, you may force players to send three ships to the warp of  YOUR choice. If your opponents do not have a card that matches...

]]>FFG242 <![CDATA[Cosmic Encounter: Macron]]>Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMTAn alien race preview

You have the power of Mass. The Macron's power may be triggered as the main player or an ally, and is used after allies are invited. Once invoked, the power restricts the Macron to only one ship that may be sent. However that ship is worth four! When collecting compensation or rewards, each ship in the Macron fleet is worth two. This power is fairly direct, use it to maintain your strength on home planets and still have a very effective fleet. Beware the potential power held by the...

]]>FFG240 <![CDATA[Cosmic Encounter: Remora]]>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMTAn alien race preview

You have the power to Cling. Whenever a ship is retrieved from the warp, you may retrieve a ship with it. Whenever someone draws a card, you may draw a card as well. Remora gives you longevity, as every turn, when another player retrieves a ship, you also get one. Remora requires a bit of strategy, as gaining so many ships and cards can put you at the top of the hit list.

]]>FFG235 <![CDATA[Cosmic Encounter: Cudgel]]>Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:00:00 GMTAn alien race preview

You have the power to Smash. Cudgel's power is very straight forward. When you win an encounter as the main player, and you played an attack card, you may smash the puny ships of your opponent on a 1 for 1 basis with your ships. Cudgel's power lays in strength, so bring as many ships as your opponent has, especially if you are hanging on to a high power card. Do not be afraid to invite allies, if you win you get to smash the loser's ships.
