About the game
Get ready to speed up with the Mission Pack, the expansion that adds extra spice to Cosmic Run: Rapid Fire! If you enjoy space races and the thrill of outmaneuvering your opponents, this little gem is for you. It includes 10 brand-new cards, each with a 'mission' side and a 'bonus' side. At the start of the game, 5 missions are randomly drawn and placed face-up, ready to be challenged. The other 5 bonus cards are randomly paired with these missions but are placed face-down. The first pilot to complete a mission not only scores points but also claims the associated bonus! And this bonus isn't just an immediate treat; it grants you a power that can be used repeatedly whenever you roll a specific die indicated on the card. This adds an interesting tactical layer, as you'll want to plan your moves to maximize the use of these recurring powers. It's an expansion that intensifies the competition and offers new strategies for those who have already mastered the base game. Language dependency is moderate, so be prepared with a translated reference sheet or translated cards to not miss a beat in this electrifying space race!
