Cosmic Encounter—nostalgia powering it up the list

0:00 Ryan, you know, sometimes games are high on our list because we've been playing them a lot and like it's just really delivering great experiences. This is pure nostalgia. This is 100% nostalgia why this is 26 on my uh on my rankings and yet so nostalgic that it makes me honestly want to own this game again. I I am seriously considering it. It's on my wish list. My number 26 goes to Cosmic Encounter.

0:24 26?

0:24 26, Ryan. It's just like you I think about and maybe it's because like I think about gaming group right now and I think we would love Cosmic. I think we would have so much fun with it and it would actually be really sweet to get to kind of experience it with a fresh group and dive into it again because we played this one a ton. I mean, I played it 96 times. Who knows how many times you played it cuz

0:49 Yeah, I'm at both like 100 maybe

0:51 this was the game, you know, back in in the day that we would

0:55 was in college, there we had the perfect group. We had a season of the perfect group

1:00 And so, you know, should it really be my 26? I don't know. I'm just thinking about like in terms of both a game that I would love to play again. I would love to just get a play a game of Cosmic again. I'd love to explore it again. So, I don't know, Ryan. It's on my wish list of a game that cuz I

1:18 Well, I don't even know what the availability is like these days with Fantasy Flight and

1:22 but a wild game of you crazy unique alien powers interacting in a this above the table negotiations to try to get five play you know, get on to five other people's planets and there is so much to explore in it. We explored met much of it, you know, with how much we played it. But man, it's it's such a such a unique experience and so that's uh that's why it's so high on

1:50 of those games. I mean, it's got a lot of strategy and interesting like how do I position myself?

1:57 But it's one of those games that's going to appeal especially to people that have that gene of I just love to see what's going to happen.

2:04 of It's like a party game almost

2:06 Yeah, cuz I think the experience.

2:09 Totally. Totally. And I I think, you know, that's you see that in some like trading card collectible card games that have lots of abilities that just like what's going to happen with these combos. Even a game like Magical Athlete, which is a newer one that's completely like almost devoid of strategy. The kind of people that have that gene. That's what they're going to like about it is like just it's so fun to see how it unfolds and the interesting situations and Cosmic definitely delivers that.
