The game that breaks its own rules...This is a lighter version of the Cosmic Encounter game. All of the same elements are there, they've simply reduced the number of alien races. The races and cards have been chosen for use in an introductory game. Contents: 4 planetary system hexes and 1 warp hex 80 tokens (20 bases for each color) 2 decks of cards (including Destiny, Flare, Edict, Reinforcement, Compromise and Attack) 1 hyperspace cone 8 Alien Power cards BoardGameGeek Info
