The Cosmic Citizenship Council has announced it will allow two new alien
species to join its ranks, but they forgot to make two copies of the
filing form — which means that only one species can join! Now, the two
candidates must battle for control of the planets to determine who
deserves the right to become a Certified Civilization.
Cosmic Encounter Duel is a competitive standalone two-player game in the
Cosmic Encounter universe in which you and your closest frenemy race to
be the first to control five planets. Each of twenty-seven alien species
comes equipped with its own unique abilities that play with the game
mechanisms in some way, offering you an edge in the fight, e.g., the
Cheater, who can reserve an additional tactic that they can put toward
any fight in the game — as long as their opponent doesn't call out how
they're trying to "cheat". How your game of Cosmic Encounter Duel plays
out will inevitably be affected by which powers each dueling species has
and how they play off of one another.
In addition to your unique species and its ability, you have twenty
spaceships to traverse the cosmos and maintain control over the five
planets you need to become a Certified Civilization. As long as you have
a ship on a planet, you have control of it, even if your opponent also
has ships there and you must share control. You can deploy these ships
to fight in duels, use them to act as reinforcements, or draw them back
for a tactful retreat. Just don't lose them to the Warp or let them be
claimed by the black void between the stars and end up lost in space
forever!
To play, players draw and resolve Destiny cards, which come in three
types: Discovery cards, Event cards, and Refresh cards. Discovery cards
have you and your opponent discover a planet and duel for control, while
Event cards ask you both to test your mettle against a variety of
challenges and cosmic calamities, and Refresh cards offer a respite in
which you can recover ships, gather allies, and ultimately prepare for
another clash.
At the start of a duel, you and your opponent secretly decide how many
ships to send to the planet, and once they have been deployed, you can
call upon any befriended envoys. To plan your attack, you secretly
choose a card from your hand and a standing tactic from your collection
to either guard your ships or blast your opponent's ships, then you
fight, sending ships to face-off for control of the planet until the
winner claims their prize while the loser retreats. After you and your
opponent resolve a Destiny card, you check the icon on the bottom of the
card to determine which deck to draw from next, then the race continues.
