I, on the other hand, went Colonize/Capital, hoping to keep my colonies ahead of her engine.

So she went full Warfare, grabbing up Tech and cards which made her war machine more and more powerful. In one game, Jess grabbed two early cards that provided 1 Influence Point per Spoil she collected (a Spoil is a planet claimed by Warfare – unlike Colonies, which can be stolen via Warfare, Spoils are untouchable, at the expense of never benefitting from the Role icons they bare). Each card not only serves as a gameplay mechanism, but also provides a scoring mechanism, thereby helping you form a scoring strategy. Another may give you a point for every Tech you own. Maybe this one gives you one point per Colony you control. See, every card you add to your deck (though it’s generous to call the handful of cards you’ll end the game with a ‘deck) has some sort of scoring mechanism.
This Research card gives you some Role Icons, an action, access to Tech, and end-game scoring for Colonies. Every card in Microcosm serves many functions. Microcosm has some real decision-making hidden between its light gameplay and quick turns. It’s just the right amount of simple, with some genuine strategy thrown on top. The game ends on the turn that the last card is pulled from the draw deck, and then points are tallied. On each player’s turn, they first choose to add a card to their hand (either from the three face-up cards or the top of the draw deck), and then they either play a card from their hand to resolve its effects or they draw as many cards from their own discard pile as they want. Gleaned from the straightforward turn structure of the original, Microcosm has less than a page of rules to cover. As in the original, ED: Microcosm planets give Influence points and Role icons. The Produce/Trade mechanic is missing completely, but the game is no weaker for its absence. Research cards draw Tech cards into your control or force other players to lose theirs, and Tech simply provide more role icons needed to boost other actions. Microcosm plays only 2 players and is designed to be finished in under 10 minutes that timetable is no exaggeration: Jess and I finished our very first game in just over 11, and that was with us checking the rules occasionally and having to read all the cards as they came up.Ĭard effects are simplified versions of the basic Roles from Eminent Domain – players will primarily be colonizing or conquering planets through Colonize and Warfare, respectively. Jess: 45 whole minutes? But I want to conquer the galaxy now!Īndrew: Well, thanks to a recent Kickstarter, Eminent Domain: Microcosm has you covered! All the tools you need to forge a tiny empire!Įminent Domain: Microcosm is a recent distillation of Seth Jaffee’s excellent deckbuilder. But what if you only had a quarter of that time? What if you wanted to, say, decide who controls the galaxy over appetizers? We lauded this unique, extremely playable sci-fi deck-builder for some innovative mechanics and extremely engaging gameplay, and how it brought galactic conquest to your fingertips in under 45 minutes.
