SPACE GAMES
“Welcome to the cosmos.”These are the first words in the rulebook for the 2008 edition of Cosmic Encounter.The paragraphs that follow this bold maxim establish a rich universe teeming with adventure and conflict. Since there’s so little known about what lies beyond our atmosphere, space is perhaps one of the most creatively-rich settings for board games. flat’s what makes it such an attractive theme for many designers, as each puts their own spin on the great beyond and charts a new course through the stars. If space is the final frontier, the dining table is our Starship Enterprise.
