Description Edit | History

This little trick taking game is a fairly intriguing little game only playable with three. The idea is to take either the most points or the least points (designated by the trump and rank of the cards that you take each hand), to earn a victory point. A set number of victory points gets the game. However, if in a hand one of the players exceeds a set number of card points, then the other two players automatically get the victory point. And if one player can get all of the tricks then he receives two victory points. Additionally, each player is given a relatively weak Cosmic-like power to break one of the rules. There are as many possibilities as there are cards, but wise card play usually outweighs their influence.

2 Cosmic Eidex - portuguese (regras em português).pdf
Rules in Portuguese: Esta tradução foi baseada no arquivo em inglês disponível no Boardgamegeek. Decidi simplificar um pouco algumas explicações e corrigir alguns erros já identificados pelos usuários do site. Tomei a liberdade também de mudar o nome de alguns poderes após perceber que poderes cujos nomes são invocados no meio da partida (Justiça! Justiça!) tendem a provocar mais risadas. Botei o nome em inglês ao lado em parênteses, e o nome em alemão está impresso nas cartas.

1 Cosmic Eidex Scoring
Scoring aid v 1.0. You must still tally each player's hand points and enter into the spreadsheet. Victory points are automatically calculated. It takes care of all the funky scoring rules except if all players score < 100 points and 2 players tie, in which case you must enter dummy hand point values (e.g., 50, 50, 57).
