Ytterbium (#17481),

Do what I did....Photocopy the back of the
encounter deck and add then paste the flares on the back ,corresponding
to the races to be found here:
http://scv.bu.edu/~aarondf/cosmic/fg_flares.pdf

the rules for them are in the eon rules found
here:
http://www.deltos.com/reference/encounters/Cosmic.html


You might add some additional aliens (from expansions)
found here:
http://members.aol.com/palo0303/cosmic/intro.htm

You can also cut out cardboard and draw 5 planets on each
for 2 more players and use little stone tokens for these
players.

so then you'd have the avalon hill version with flares,
up to 6 players, and maybe some more aliens.
