Perry Rhodan: The Cosmic League is a two-player trading race set in the long-running German space-opera universe. You are traders hauling goods between planets, sometimes with passengers who pay extra. Profit buys you better ships: more cargo space, transmitters or faster drives. The game comes from Kosmos's two-player line, designer Heinrich Glumpler is a fan of Merchant of Venus, and it shows in the pick-up-and-deliver flavour. The art is by Swen Papenbrock, who also illustrates the book series. A half-hour duel with cards, a dash of take-that and a space-opera backdrop.
Who it's for
You and one other person enjoy a light space-trader duel, especially if you know the Perry Rhodan books or Merchant of Venus.
Not for you if…
You are more than two, or you want a big open-ended trading epic. This is a short, tight duel.
Vibe's take
A small, brisk trading race. You balance cargo against engines, and a well-timed card can ruin your opponent's perfect route.
