Kosmonauts: Promo Event Card #31

Kosmonauts: Promo Event Card #31 is a promotional card released at Essen 2012 for fans of the Kosmonauts base game. It introduces a straightforward rule that lets each player land on any planet on the board, except Earth. This opens new strategic avenues, especially given the hexagonal grid that already offers multiple routes, and the card lets you pick the optimal landing spot for resources or to avoid conflict. No extra physical components come with it beyond the card itself, but its impact on gameplay can be notable, particularly in 2‑4 player games where competition for valuable planets is fierce. The Open Drafting mechanic comes into play when the card is revealed, as everyone knows the free‑landing option is on the table and can plan accordingly. The sci‑fi theme stays intact, reinforcing the feeling of being an astronaut on a space mission. Since the card is optional, players who prefer shorter games can simply ignore it, while those who love to explore every corner of the map will appreciate the added flexibility. Playtime stays around 60 minutes, and the complexity remains low (weight 2/5), making it accessible to both newcomers and veterans looking for a fresh twist without added complexity.
