About the game
Perry Rhodan: The Cosmic League is a strategic card game for two players, set in the universe of the famous German sci-fi series. You take on the role of an interstellar trader, shipping goods and passengers between planets to rack up victory points. The game blends hand management, pick-up and deliver mechanics, and a dash of 'take that' to keep things spicy. With economic and tech elements, you can upgrade your ship for advantages, but watch out—your opponent is always ready to sabotage your plans! The game ends when a player hits 70 points or all goods are delivered, so every move matters. It's quick (around 30 minutes) and easy to learn, but offers strategic depth for fans of interactive space duels.
