We had a greatly needed day trip to see good friends, eat, drink, and start a new Cosmic Encounter campaign with the new Odyssey expansion. It was a ton of fun. #boardgames #cosmicencounter

Tonight we played two very different games involving tactile round components - Cosmic Encounter & The Fuzzies. My opponents were all engineers, so The Fuzzies went on much longer than usual.

The folks in my industry are today mourning the passing of Klaus Teuber, inventor of Settlers of #Catan

Apparently, that title was formative for a whole lot of people... a whole lot younger than me. When I think "formative", I hark back to the likes of #CosmicEncounter and Steve Jackson's #Illuminati and #CarWars.

I give Settlers full credit for making it big on a lot of mass market shelves after it came to the US in 1996, helping more people find the hobby - but, to be fair, Magic: The Gathering had been sold in those same stores for a couple of years by then, and I believe that paved the way for less "mainstream" titles to get a chance.😏

Mostly, I'm just feeling #old now.😔

Episode 18 is out now! We cover one of Ian's favorite boardgames this month- Cosmic Encounter! Ace joins us as we take a deep dive into what makes this strategy-based game so enjoyable, and where it might fall short. #podcast #boardgame #tabletop #CosmicEncounter https://open.spotify.com/episode/0uLUu0QIJEOHcIliJeWOO2?si=4sLe_YWcRFqnAuBDIy97NQ

Tonight at 7:30 pm Eastern you can watch me get crushed in the first Cosmic Encounter Invitational!

Some of the best Cosmic players (of which I am *not* one) will be playing against designers Jack Reda and Bill Eberle on Tabletop Simulator.

Check out #CosmicEncounter.

A friend of mine tried to set me up with some chick by inviting us to play it. Fucking he'll if I'm gonna be set up

Unknowingly, he added an expansion pack to the deck that said "If you have this card, you can steal anything from the deck or the discard pile, as long as you don't get caught."

Just saw a Cosmic Zap followed by a sequence of THREE Card Zaps. #CosmicEncounter

Aujourd'hui j'ai récupéré plein de vieux #jeuxdeplateau . Parmi eux, une édition de 1986 de #cosmicencounter chez Descartes éditions. Dans ce jeu on incarne un peuple extraterrestre et on se bastonne avec les autres. Parmi les peuples, il y en a un qui a particulièrement retenu mon attention https://oc.todon.fr/media/mabyAx5JvL2f66AyNPk
