Large group icon on an attack card.
The large group cosmic cards are a set of 24 cards introduced in Cosmic Alliance to support games of Cosmic Encounter with large groups of 7 or more players. If playing with a large group, these cards must be shuffled into the cosmic deck during setup. They can also be added to the cosmic deck if there are 6 or fewer players, if players want more randomness in the cosmic deck.
Large group cosmic cards have the same card back as normal cosmic cards but can be identified by an icon of three alien faces in the upper right corner of the card face. Gameplay-wise, there is no difference between normal and large group cosmic cards.
Contents[]
- 18 encounter cards:
- 12 attacks from 00 to 30
- 5 negotiates N
- 1 morph M
- 2 reinforcements: +4 and +8
- 4 artifacts: Card Zap, Cosmic Zap, Force Field, Quash
Notes[]
- All but two of the cards in the large group deck (02 and +8) are duplicates of cards that already exist in the cosmic deck.
- The included reinforcement cards are among the highest non-variable reinforcements in the game. This is in order to offset the greater possible number of allies' ships in large group games.
