## Description
Get ready for an interplanetary invasion in Cosmic Coasters, a quick 10-minute game that puts you in command of coin fleets on Jupiter's moons. The mission is clear: invade an enemy planet, overcome its defenses, and ensure a ship's return home. But beware, their teleportation is under tight control! To win, you'll need cunning, a good dose of luck, and of course, that secret special power you've got up your sleeve. And if all that sounds too complicated, relax: the entire planet can become a stylish place to put your drink. Yes, you read that right! Cosmic Coasters' components are made of printed paper fiber, and in the US, 'coaster' can mean both a drink holder and a 'beermat'.
